GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract SPE4A726P6415, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to JDS INTERNATIONAL INC with CAGE code 8A8Y5, encompasses the procurement of a Parts Kit, Gearbox (NSN 1560-00-490-4909) and the performance of a Government First Article Test, with a total contract value of $136,549.35. The award was issued on July 20, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A7-26-Q-0343, and includes a unilateral modification P00001 that extended the delivery date for the Government First Article Test sample to September 18, 2026, under the authority of FAR 43.203(b) and tied to PAR request #5510159. The test sample must be delivered to the Hill Air Force Base facility in Utah, designated as the primary place of performance and inspection location, while the contractor is based in Noblesville, Indiana. Contract administration is managed by DLA Aviation’s ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia, with Wendy Williams listed as the Contracting Officer, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative is identified. No payment office, accounting appropriation data, invoicing method, or detailed packaging and marking specifications are provided, though standard military identifiers such as NSN, CAGE code, and DODAAC FB2029 imply compliance with common DoD logistics practices. No formal FAR Part 52 clauses, inspection criteria beyond the Government First Article Test, special contract requirements, socioeconomic certifications, or contract type are explicitly detailed, and no line-item pricing, quantities, or FOB terms are disclosed beyond the total value. The absence of explicit Section H, J, K, or M content indicates this transaction primarily reflects an administrative award and scheduling adjustment with foundational supply delivery obligations under general DoD procurement norms.
