GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract SPE4A726P3003, awarded to APEX PINNACLE CORP with CAGE code 0REY5 on July 17, 2026, is valued at $37,220 and stems from solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-815T. The primary focus of the contract is administrative compliance with FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” as modified by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, effective April 2026. This clause mandates the contractor to avoid any racially discriminatory practices in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs funded by federal dollars, requires reporting of subcontractor violations or legal challenges to the clause, and obligates flow-down of the requirement to all applicable subcontracts. Compliance is a material term for payment under 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(4), and failure to adhere may result in contract termination or future ineligibility. While the contract includes two line items—GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST and ARM, DOOR MECHANISM—these are not tied to the clause’s performance requirements, and no technical specifications, inspection criteria, or quality standards are detailed in the available documentation. Performance is limited to the United States, specifically at the contractor’s location in Binghamton, NY, with no specified delivery schedule or FOB terms. The contracting officer, Dean Allen, is the sole identified point of contact; no COR or COTR is assigned. Payment office details, accounting codes (AAC/TAS/ACRN), and invoicing methods (e.g., WAWF) are not provided. No socioeconomic certifications, size status affirmations, or attachments are included in the record. All contract administration and compliance obligations are governed by the DEI clause, with no other special requirements, options, or evaluation factors documented.
