GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A725PG158 to D-J ENGINEERING INC, with a CAGE code of 0C7H8, for a total value of $19,690.00 on July 17, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-623Z. The contract centers on administrative adjustments to return a Government First Article Test item, specifically the aircraft stringer identified by NSN 1560-01-586-5385, to the contractor’s facility in Augusta, Kansas. This is reflected in CLIN 0003, which carries a unit price of $0.00, indicating no new procurement cost but rather logistical handling of an existing government-owned test article. The contractor’s facility serves as both the place of performance and inspection point, while acceptance authority rests with DCMA Great Plains in Bloomington, Minnesota. The contract leverages FAR 43.203(b) for modification authority and references QN 206223996 for quality notification, though no explicit technical specifications, packaging standards, preservation requirements, or MIL-STDs are detailed in the documentation. The award lacks formal representation of socioeconomic status, size certification, or affirmative certifications typically found in Section K, and no COR or COTR are designated. The contracting officer, Marie Richard of DLA Aviation, oversees administration and may be contacted via email or phone. Payment details, invoicing methods, and accounting codes are not specified, and while the contract value is confirmed at $19,690, no pricing data is provided in Section B for the referenced line items. The period of performance ends on September 30, 2026, with no formal start date, and FOB terms are undefined. No attachments, special requirements, or clauses are explicitly listed beyond the administrative modification, and while the NAICS code 336413 suggests aerospace manufacturing, the work performed under this contract is limited to the return and handling of a government test article rather than production.
