Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C78619D0011

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Cemetery Administration (NCA) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Matthews International Corporation's Matthews Bronze Division for the manufacture and supply of flat bronze niche markers and flat bronze niche markers for Memorials of Honor (MOH) to support the VA NCA's mission of honoring deceased veterans. The single-award IDC, valued at $3,978,796.50, has a period of performance from October 1, 2018 through March 31, 2024. Under this IDC, Matthews Bronze has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders from the VA NCA totaling over $2.4 million to date for the production and delivery of these memorial products, which are manufactured at Matthews' facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The contract has no set-aside designation. These delivery orders assist the VA NCA in providing bronze markers and niche covers to memorialize veterans interred at national cemeteries across the United States.

The original market research solicitation from 2018 indicated the VA NCA was seeking qualified manufacturers, including large businesses, small businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, to potentially provide bronze medallions, headstones, markers, and niche covers for deceased veterans. As the selected prime contractor, Matthews Bronze Division has leveraged its expertise in bronze manufacturing to deliver high-quality memorial products supporting the VA NCA's mission.
