GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A126P0499 to S & B, INC. (CAGE 0F4K9) on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-133X, with a total contract value of $52,650.80. The contract includes two line items: a Government First Article Test for NSN 0001S00000052 and the supply of PIN-RIVET components identified by NSN 5320005486974 and PR 7011549362. The place of performance is the contractor’s location in Valencia, California, with no alternate delivery site specified. Performance and delivery timelines are not explicitly defined, and FOB terms are not stated. The contract was awarded through a modification (P00001) and does not specify the contract type, such as firm-fixed-price or cost-plus. The contract’s most significant requirement is the inclusion of FAR 52.222-90, implementing a Department of Defense deviation to prohibit contractors from conducting training or activities that promote racially or sex-based stereotypes or predetermined roles, as mandated by Executive Order 14398 and OMB Memorandum M-25-26. The contractor must report compliance via the DoD Stop Work List, flow the clause down to all subcontractors, and notify the contracting officer of any legal challenges or violations. Compliance is deemed material to contract performance and affects payment eligibility under 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(4). No packaging, preservation, or marking specifications are provided beyond the requirement to reference the NSN, CAGE code, contract number, and government forms like SF-30. No MIL-STDs, inspection criteria, or quality standards are cited, though the term "first article test" implies formal testing procedures are expected. Payment office and invoicing method details are absent, as are COR/COTR contacts. The awardee’s size status and socioeconomic certifications are not identified, and only the CAGE code is confirmed. The contracting officer is Dean Allen of DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with contact information provided, but the payment and accounting details including TAS or AAC codes remain unspecified.
