Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C125D0086

Aurora Industries LLC, a minority-owned and Alaska Native corporation-owned small business based in Orocovis, Puerto Rico, was awarded a Total Small Business Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract on September 9, 2025, by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles program with a ceiling value of $146.1 million and an ultimate completion date of September 8, 2030. The contract authorizes the DLA to issue multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders for the manufacturing and delivery of military apparel, specifically Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniform (IHWCU) and Army Combat Uniform (ACU) components in Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP), with all work performed at Aurora Industries' Puerto Rico manufacturing facility. The underlying solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation notice on October 2, 2024, with a due date of February 21, 2025, sought IHWCU and ACU coats and trousers in multiple variants (Type I Unisex and Class II Permethrin Treated) across four separate lots with varying small business set-aside designations, with delivery destinations in Pendergrass, Georgia and Austin, Texas, and a five-year period of performance comprising five consecutive 12-month price tiers.

As of the award date, two firm fixed-price delivery orders have been issued under this Indefinite Delivery vehicle: a $1.59 million order (awarded September 9, 2025, completion April 29, 2026) for IHWCU and ACU coats in Operational Camouflage Pattern, and a $2.55 million order (awarded September 10, 2025, completion April 27, 2026) for IHWCU trousers in Operational Camouflage Pattern. Both delivery orders carry no small business set-aside designation, despite the parent contract being designated for total small business. This procurement supports the DLA's mission of managing the global supply chain for military apparel and equipping U.S. armed forces with mission-critical combat uniforms. All materials procured under the contract must comply with the Berry Amendment, requiring domestic sourcing from the United States, its possessions, or Puerto Rico. Aurora Industries' established track record with DLA Troop Support, including a prior primary Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract valued at approximately $94 million awarded in August 2020, demonstrates the company's proven manufacturing capability and reliability as a critical supplier of military textile products.
