Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C119D1118

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Faribault Woolen Mill Company LLC, a small business manufacturer based in Faribault, Minnesota. The single-award IDC has a ceiling value of $4,860,764 and an ultimate completion date of January 10, 2025. Under this contract, Faribault Woolen Mill Company receives firm-fixed-price delivery orders to provide various types of bed blankets to support the U.S. military. The blankets are produced at the company's facility in Faribault and delivered to the Defense Logistics Agency's distribution center. While most delivery orders do not have set-aside designations, the IDC itself was awarded as a small business set-aside contract, reflecting Faribault Woolen Mill Company's status as a small business. This long-term agreement demonstrates the government's confidence in the company's ability to meet the high standards required for military bedding supplies over an extended period.

The original solicitation, SPE1C1-18-R-0135, was issued by the Defense Logistics Agency as a total small business set-aside to procure wool bed blankets in support of U.S. military troops. The solicitation called for a single-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with a one-year base term and four one-year option terms. The blankets, which must be manufactured in accordance with specific government specifications, are to be delivered to the Travis Association for the Blind in Austin, Texas. First article testing was required, and the initial production lead time was 150 days after contract award.
