The contract award SPRPA124P0865, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under solicitation SPRPA1-24-T-0763, was awarded to APEX MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. with CAGE code 2V343 for a total price of $55,278.00, effective July 17, 2026. The scope centers on the delivery of 111 piston actuators identified by NSN 2995-00-928-7628, following a reduction from the original quantity of 177 units due to production scrap, as documented in modification P00003. A critical requirement is the completion of a Government First Article Test to validate design and manufacturing conformance prior to acceptance, indicating a high level of technical scrutiny. The work is performed at the contractor’s facility in Sun Valley, California, with administrative oversight by DCMA Southern California in Carson, California, and payment coordination managed by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia. The contract appears to be a firm-fixed-price arrangement under simplified acquisition procedures, consistent with FAR Part 13, and includes a single CLIN with no identified options, extensions, or additional line items. There is no explicit information regarding the period of performance, delivery schedule, or FOB terms, though inspection and acceptance activities are tied to the contractor’s site and the DCMA facility. Packaging, marking, and preservation requirements are not detailed in the available documentation, with no reference to MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-130, or similar standards. Similarly, no specific quality standards beyond the First Article Test are cited, and no socioeconomic certifications, small business status, or affirmative representations are included in the records provided. The contracting officer is identified as Nicole Martin, with Ashton Payne serving as the primary point of contact for payment and administrative matters. While several FAR sections are referenced in the context of modification authority—specifically FAR 43.203(b) and FAR 13.302-4(b)—no formal contract clauses from Section I, evaluation factors from Section M, or special requirements from Section H are present in the supplied materials. The original solicitation date was February 1, 2024, while the award date is listed as 2026, suggesting a significant administrative delay or possible data inconsistency.
