The contract, which included several delivery orders, was primarily for the provision of Second-Generation D5 Rail Cars in support of the Trident II (D-5) Sea-Launched Ballistic Missile, a major defense program. Some of the delivery orders were set aside for Total Small Business. The rail cars were delivered to the Department of Defense (DOD) - Navy, the sole customer for this contractor. In addition to the rail cars, the contractor has also begun supplying Thermoking Generators to the DOD - Navy under separate contracts. The contract work was performed in West Seneca, NY.

The IDV award and associated task orders demonstrate the government contractor's ability to fulfill large, high-value contracts for critical defense equipment. The consistent award of delivery orders to this small business manufacturer indicates the DOD - Navy's confidence in the contractor's ability to meet the government's requirements for the Trident II (D-5) program. The use of set-asides for Total Small Business further highlights the agency's commitment to supporting small businesses in the defense industrial base.
