Ishpi Information Technologies Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Suffolk, Virginia, was awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract by the U.S. Coast Guard under the 8(a) Sole Source set-aside on April 24, 2014, with a ceiling value of $3,909,542.72 and an ultimate completion date of April 23, 2019. The contract procures aircraft maintenance services for the H-65 helicopter platform, incorporating Service Contract Act wage adjustments. Performance is conducted at Elizabeth City, North Carolina, a major Coast Guard Air Station facility that operates and maintains H-65 rotorcraft for search and rescue and law enforcement missions. The Indefinite Delivery Contract structure provided the government with flexibility to issue task orders and delivery orders against the ceiling throughout the five-year contract period, enabling responsive procurement of ongoing maintenance and related support services.
The contract was executed through seven separate delivery orders spanning the base year through option year four, with individual order values ranging from $10,181.95 to $802,485.21, collectively totaling approximately $3.76 million in funded amounts. All delivery orders were structured as Firm Fixed Price arrangements and incorporated provisions for deobligation of unused funds upon completion or modification of task order scopes. The contract documentation indicates that all services rendered were fully billed and utilized, with contract closeout activities completed by April 23, 2019. The sustained procurement of aircraft maintenance services under this sole source vehicle reflects the Coast Guard's reliance on Ishpi's technical capabilities and the contractor's established performance record in supporting critical rotorcraft maintenance operations essential to the agency's search and rescue mission.
