Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C123D0023

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Clothing and Textiles division awarded a $26 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Aurora Industries LLC, a subsidiary of Sitnasuak Native Corporation, an Alaska Native Corporation. The contract is for the delivery of various military uniforms, textiles, and personal protective equipment, including Navy Working Uniform (NWU) Type III parkas, cold weather gear, combat shirts, and duffel bags. Aurora Industries, a minority-owned and small disadvantaged business, operates a manufacturing facility in Camuy, Puerto Rico and has secured numerous federal contracts and grants, demonstrating its capability to support critical national defense supply chain needs. The original solicitation was a pre-solicitation notice for the manufacture and delivery of NWU Type II and Type III parkas, set aside 100% for small businesses, with a potential four-year ordering period and total contract values up to $112 million.

The IDC has a base year plus three one-year option periods and is primarily being executed through firm-fixed-price delivery orders. The contract does not have specific set-aside designations, but Aurora Industries' status as an Alaska Native Corporation-owned, minority-owned, and small disadvantaged business has positioned the company competitively in the federal contracting landscape. The contracted products and services support the DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles mission to provide essential military uniforms and equipment to the U.S. Department of Defense.
