The contract covers the supply of a SLEEVE ASSEMBLY, GEN (NSN 1560-00-888-0127) and includes a Government First Article Test (NSN 0001S00000052) to verify conformance to specifications. Delivery for the primary line item was modified from August 19, 2026, to October 14, 2026, through Contract Modification P00001, which also authorized early and partial deliveries at no additional cost. A contractor-requested variance was approved to resolve dimensional stackup issues, demonstrating an emphasis on manufacturing precision and quality control. The contracting officer, Desiree Little of DLA Aviation in Richmond, VA, administers the contract, with inspection and acceptance oversight handled by DCMA Northeast at Hanscom AFB, MA. The NAICS code 332710 (Machine Shops) identifies the contractor’s industry classification, though no socioeconomic status or small business certification is documented. Payment instructions direct invoices to DLA Aviation’s office in Richmond with no electronic invoicing method specified, and no FOB terms, packaging standards, or detailed pricing per unit are disclosed in the available records. The base contract type remains unspecified, but the modification was executed under FAR 43.203(a) and FAR 43.103(b), indicating an administrative adjustment to an existing procurement. The award appears consistent with a Low Price Technically Acceptable strategy given the modest contract value and standardized nature of the item, though no formal evaluation factors are provided. The contractor is required to sign and return the SF-30 modification to complete acceptance.
