The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Aluma Tower Company, Inc., a small business manufacturer, a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDV) with a ceiling value of $2,208,695.90. The contract, awarded in January 2024, tasks Aluma Tower with providing trailer/shelter communication assets to be used as FAA communication facilities through February 2026.
The contract's first task order, a $2,208,695.90 firm fixed price delivery order, was issued in February 2024 for Aluma Tower to provide mobile trailers with shelter and tower combinations to the FAA Headquarters. These trailer tower systems are likely intended for use in mobile aviation and air traffic control operations, leveraging Aluma Tower's expertise in designing and manufacturing telescopic aluminum towers up to 100 feet in height for utility, communication, and monitoring applications. The contract was awarded without a set-aside, though Aluma Tower has a history of successful small business set-aside awards from various civilian and defense agencies for its specialized communication equipment.
