GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded D-J ENGINEERING INC a contract valued at $115,000 under solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-302R, with an award date of July 17, 2026, to supply a RIB, AIRFOIL identified by NSN 1560011147276 and conduct a Government First Article Test identified by NSN 0001S00000052. Performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility in Augusta, Kansas, with contract administration handled by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, under the oversight of DCMA Great Plains in Bloomington, Minnesota. The contracting officer is Dean Allen, reachable at CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL, and payment processing is managed by the same DLA office. The contract was issued as a modification to an existing agreement with an effective date of December 1, 2025, and no specific delivery timeline, FOB terms, or inspection location are detailed in the available documentation. The contract enforces FAR 52.222-90, implementing the DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040 Revision 1, which prohibits discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices in employment and subcontracting and mandates strict compliance with non-discrimination requirements. The contractor must flow this clause down to all subcontracts except those performed entirely outside the United States, report any known violations by subcontractors, and notify the contracting officer if a subcontractor challenges the clause legally. The contractor is also required to provide access to records and documentation upon request as part of compliance verification. No technical specifications, packaging standards, preservation requirements, marking or labeling guidelines, MIL-STD references, or inspection and acceptance criteria are explicitly included in the available information, though the NSN implies adherence to broader DoD technical standards. The solicitation relied on Standard Form 30 and continuation sheets for proposal submissions, with no stated evaluation factors, weights, or basis of award documented, suggesting a non-competitive or administrative award process. No socioeconomic status, small business certification, or unique entity identifier beyond the CAGE code 0C7H8 is provided, and no option periods, additional line items, or pricing breakdowns are available.
