This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded by the Air Force Materiel Command, a defense agency, to Armtec Countermeasures Co., a for-profit manufacturer of defense countermeasures and aircraft survivability equipment. The $49 million IDC has a 3-year ordering period ending in June 2028 and is for the production of the RR-202/AL chaff countermeasure, a specialized product used for aircraft self-protection. The contract was awarded sole-source to Armtec under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 due to the highly specialized nature of the requirement. Under the IDC, an initial $10.1 million firm-fixed-price delivery order was issued for the purchase of RR-202/AL chaff, with performance to occur at Armtec's facility in Coachella, California. The IDC does not utilize any set-aside designations, indicating Armtec competes for these awards on an open, unrestricted basis. This contract demonstrates Armtec's strategic importance as a supplier of critical aircraft survivability equipment to the U.S. military. The original solicitation was a pre-solicitation for the 3-year RR-202/AL chaff IDIQ contract, which included first article testing and production, as well as production orders over the ordering period. The total estimated ceiling value was $49 million. The NAICS code is 325920 - Explosives Manufacturing, and the PSC code is 1370 - Pyrotechnics, indicating the specialized nature of the chaff countermeasure product. All responsible sources were invited to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations, which would be considered by the agency.
