Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A219D5076

The federal contract IDV award from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI), doing business as Unicor Metal Products Division, provides for the manufacture and supply of specialized aviation components, including cable assemblies, power equipment, and cable-periscopes. FPI, a wholly-owned government corporation that employs inmates within the Federal Bureau of Prisons system, holds several significant indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts with DLA Aviation, with a combined potential ceiling value of up to $15.6 million. These IDVs enable DLA Aviation to issue delivery orders as needed to support its global defense supply chain responsibilities across Department of Defense aircraft and weapons systems. The task orders awarded under these IDVs, valued from a few thousand dollars to several hundred thousand dollars, leverage FPI's inmate workforce and factory facilities to manufacture and deliver the required aviation components in a timely manner.

The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations, as FPI is considered a mandatory source under the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act AbilityOne program. The work is primarily performed at FPI's facility in Marion, Illinois. The delivery orders issued to FPI are firm fixed-price contracts, with the most recent award valued at $4,383.46 for cable assemblies. The period of performance for the overall IDV contract runs through August 2024, with individual delivery orders having their own completion dates.
