Indefinite Delivery Contract FA851723D0003

The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command (AFLCMC) awarded a $72.8 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Ciqima Federal Services LLC, an Alaska Native Corporation-owned small disadvantaged business, for Third Party Equipment Purchasing (3PEP) services. Under this IDC, Ciqima will source, acquire, and manage the delivery of a broad range of national stock numbered support equipment, such as aircraft fixtures, tools, maintenance equipment, and testing devices, primarily to support sustainment and logistics programs at Robins Air Force Base and in Alaska. The IDC was awarded in November 2022 and runs through November 2032. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, though Ciqima leverages its SBA 8(a) and other small business certifications to compete effectively. Ciqima has also been awarded a $93.9 million single-award IDC with the Defense Health Agency for clinical workflow support services, demonstrating the company's expertise across both logistics and healthcare domains.

The task orders reviewed indicate Ciqima is providing firm fixed-price 3PEP services valued from a few thousand to several million dollars per order. These services include sourcing, acquiring, and delivering a variety of national stock numbered support equipment to meet the Air Force's requirements. The original solicitation sought responses from 8(a) small businesses for a follow-on 3PEP program to provide supply chain management, electronic order management, quality assurance, and on-time delivery of expendable, recoverable, and reparable national stock number items under a potential 10-year, $547 million multiple-award contract.
