The Department of the Air Force awarded a single award indefinite delivery contract set aside for small businesses to AC Inc., doing business as Southern Permanent Awning Co Inc., to procure standoff precision guided munitions shipping containers. The contract has a potential value of $27.4 million with a period of performance from July 2020 to July 2025. Under the contract, the Air Force has issued three firm fixed price delivery orders to Southern Permanent Awning for specialized shipping containers in support of munitions programs. The containers valued at $1.986 million, $2.068 million, and $5.265 million respectively, have a period of performance of one year each for delivery to Huntsville, Alabama by 2023. The originating pre-solicitation sought reusable containers estimated at 2,400 units annually able to withstand various environmental conditions for transporting munitions, consistent with military packaging standards. The Air Force aims to procure an estimated 12,000 containers over five years to safely ship precision guided munitions. The Department of the Air Force has long relied on specialized packaging solutions from contractors like Southern Permanent Awning to efficiently and securely transport munitions. The awarded contract and associated delivery orders indicate the service is continuing efforts to containerize precision guided weapons using reusable solutions meeting military requirements for environmental protection and transport survivability. The period of performance spanning into 2025 under the IDV suggests the Air Force anticipates container needs for munitions programs to continue in the coming years.
