This federal contract award to Kitco LLC, operating as Kitco Defense, provides for the delivery of retainers, packing, and other aerospace components to support defense programs. The $2,024.00 firm fixed price purchase order was issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, which is responsible for supplying spare parts and consumables to maintain military readiness.
The award is not associated with a set-aside program, indicating Kitco Defense competed for the contract in the open market. The company, a for-profit limited liability manufacturer based in Provo, Utah, has received numerous other contracts from DLA, the Naval Supply Systems Command, and other defense agencies to provide a wide range of aviation, maritime, and general defense parts and services. These include specialized items such as bearings, seals, fasteners, and engine components, as well as standard aerospace commodities.
In addition to this direct award, Kitco Defense also serves as a subcontractor to prime contractors like General Electric and Boeing, supplying hardware and electrical components. The company currently holds several indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contracts with DLA, valued up to $550,000, to provide an assortment of critical spare parts and consumables through 2024 to 2029.
