About this IDV
Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense Company, a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Simsbury, Connecticut, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with a $25 million ceiling by Naval Special Warfare Command on September 27, 2018, with an ultimate completion date of July 23, 2025. The contract procures MK 165/166 detonators, MK 167/168/169 delay detonators with integral firing devices, and includes Government Furnished Property (GFP) transfers. This IDV was established to provide mission-critical detonation devices supporting specialized operations and munitions programs across multiple Department of Defense agencies. The contract was not subject to any set-aside designation, allowing open competition in the federal marketplace. The original pre-solicitation opportunity was posted on October 26, 2017, with a due date of June 13, 2018, and ultimately resulted in the award to Ensign-Bickford based on their established expertise in specialized ordnance manufacturing.
Seven delivery orders have been issued against this IDV totaling approximately $18.7 million, with performance locations in Simsbury, Connecticut and Graham, Kentucky. Task orders include procurements for MK 165 MOD 0 detonators ($2,976,809 awarded to Air Force in December 2022), MK 166 MOD 0 detonators ($3,873,357 awarded to Air Force in February 2022), non-electric dual detonators ($6,634,071 awarded to Naval Sea Systems Command in March 2019), MK 167 MOD 0 detonators ($1,300,366 awarded to Air Mobility Command in September 2018), and additional variant detonators supporting Navy and Air Force munitions programs with completion dates ranging from 2019 through 2024. These delivery orders employ firm fixed price contracts and do not utilize subcontractor set-asides, reflecting the prime contractor's vertical integration and manufacturing capability. The distributed task orders across multiple military branches demonstrate the detonators' critical role in supporting diverse defense applications, from air force ordnance systems to naval weapons platforms and special operations requirements.
