About this IDV
The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract valued at $17.0 million to Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense Company for the procurement of pyrotechnic detonators and associated fuzes and firing accessories designated MK 165 through MK 169 models. The contract, which commenced September 30, 2024, and extends through July 23, 2025, was awarded without set-aside restrictions and includes Government-Furnished Property transferred from a predecessor contract (N00016418DJR63). The contract requires performance at Ensign-Bickford's manufacturing facility in Simsbury, Connecticut. The original pre-solicitation, posted in November 2021, identified the requirement as a sole-source procurement under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1 authority, citing duplicate costs and unacceptable delays if procured from alternative sources. The anticipated period of performance for the requirement spans fiscal years 2024 through 2029, with delivery on a Free-on-Board Destination basis to Richmond, Kentucky.
Under this Indefinite Delivery Vehicle, two delivery orders have been issued totaling approximately $8.2 million. The first delivery order, awarded by Naval Sea Systems Command on September 30, 2024, valued at $5.4 million and due April 15, 2026, requires production of MK 166 MOD 0 detonators (MP51 variant) with additional specifications for ownership codes, project codes, special marking instructions, and updated shipping procedures. The second delivery order, issued by the Air Force on June 9, 2025, valued at $2.8 million with a completion date of October 16, 2026, calls for delivery of MP50, MP51 dual detonators and MP53, MP54, and MP55 delay detonators. These detonators support critical Navy and Air Force operational requirements and represent specialized ordnance components integral to military munitions systems and demolition applications.
