Indefinite Delivery Contract N6893620D0022

The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Rickard Metals, Inc. for metals procurement. The multiple award IDC has a potential value of $5M over five years and was set aside for small businesses. It allows the Naval Air Warfare Center to issue delivery orders for specialty metals to support its naval aviation research, development, test and evaluation missions. Delivery orders issued to date have procured various metal alloys, including aluminum, steel and titanium, in different specifications and forms. Orders under the contract have ranged from $3,725 to $27,900 for materials to be delivered to the contractor's Ontario, California facility.

Separately, the Naval Air Warfare Center issued a solicitation seeking multiple metal suppliers for an indefinite delivery contract with a projected five-year term and $750,000 maximum value. The solicitation anticipated awarding firm-fixed price contracts for aluminum, steel and other alloys in various specifications, shapes and sizes to support the Center's aircraft, engines, avionics and launch/recovery systems work. Rickard Metals was subsequently awarded delivery orders as the prime contractor against the IDC to provide specialty metals for these purposes.
