About this IDV

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a single-award, small business set-aside indefinite delivery contract (IDC) valued at $168,000 to Parachute Laboratories Inc., a woman-owned small business, for senior parachute rigger certification training. The 5-year IDC, which runs through May 2028, allows the FAA to issue multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders for specialized parachute instruction that meets the agency's stringent standards for ensuring properly trained personnel across the national airspace system. Parachute Laboratories Inc., the largest parachute manufacturer and rigger training provider in the U.S., will deliver customized courses at their Oklahoma City facility to qualify technicians on packing, maintaining, and repairing parachutes. The IDC was awarded in response to a FAA market survey to identify sources capable of providing this critical aviation safety training.

The IDC has facilitated several delivery orders to date, ranging from $16,200 to $23,400, for Parachute Laboratories Inc. to conduct rigger certification courses at their Oklahoma facility over 1-2 week periods. These delivery orders support the FAA's mission by ensuring technicians are properly trained in parachute operations and maintenance protocols. The multiple delivery orders issued under the IDC demonstrate Parachute Laboratories Inc.'s proven capabilities in delivering high-quality, specialized training services to the FAA.
