This federal contract award was made by the TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM), a Defense agency, to Prestolite Electric Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of electrical components for military vehicles and equipment. The $80,569.96 firm fixed price purchase order is for the delivery of electrical engine starters and does not utilize any set-aside designations.
Prestolite Electric holds several Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, including a single-award IDV with a $15,096,767.40 ceiling value awarded in 2021 for the procurement of starter engines, alternators, generators, and other electrical components for military land and maritime vehicles. This contract award is likely a delivery order issued under one of these longer-term IDV contracts, which enable the DLA to efficiently obtain a variety of National Stock Number (NSN) electrical parts to support the maintenance and repair of the U.S. military's vehicle fleets.
