GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract SPE4A726P4919, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to Aerospace & Commercial Technologies LLC (CAGE 1XKR3), is valued at $136,187.04 and was issued on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-416K. The work scope centers on two key deliverables: a Government First Article Test and an aircraft frame identified by NSN 1560013701952, both to be performed at the contractor’s facility in Fort Worth, TX. The contract is structured as a modification under FAR 43.203(b) and incorporates the newly effective FAR clause 52.222-90, which prohibits racially or ethnically based disparate treatment in employment and contracting, as mandated by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, implementing recent Executive Orders. The contractor is obligated to enforce this clause in all subcontracts within the United States, report any violations by subcontractors, and provide full compliance documentation upon request. No other technical specifications, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or quality control references such as MIL-STDs are explicitly detailed in the contract documents. The place of performance is limited to the U.S., and no FOB terms, delivery schedules, or period of performance dates are specified. The Contracting Officer, Dean Allen of DLA Aviation in Richmond, VA, holds full administrative authority, with no identified Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative designated. Invoicing methods, payment offices, accounting codes, and electronic submission systems for invoices are not defined in the documentation. The contract does not indicate a specific contract type, though a firm-fixed-price structure is typical for such efforts. The award was made without publicly disclosed evaluation factors, weights, or socioeconomic certifications, and no attachments, barcoding requirements, or preservation standards are listed, though standard DLA logistics practices are presumed. The only affirmative reporting obligations stem from the DEI compliance clause, requiring immediate notification of subcontractor noncompliance or legal challenges, with potential consequences including contract termination or debarment. All administrative actions and correspondence must reference the contract number and be directed to the identified point of contact, and submissions must follow the Standard Form 30 format and related continuation sheet instructions.
