Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A220D0013

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a ceiling value of $382,914.18 to Eaton Corporation, a major defense industrial base supplier, for the delivery of aircraft air seals, shaft seals, gaskets, and other mechanical seal components. The contract, which runs from January 17, 2020, to January 23, 2025, allows DLA Aviation to issue individual firm-fixed-price delivery orders for specific quantities of these critical parts as needed to support the operational readiness of the military's air fleet. Eaton Corporation, operating through its Eaton Division and doing business as Centurian Mechanical Seals, has received over 30 delivery orders under this IDC, ranging from $4,000 to over $100,000 in value. The company has also served as a subcontractor to Honeywell International Inc., providing various seal components for integration into larger aviation system assemblies. No small business set-asides were used for these prime contract awards, reflecting Eaton's status as a leading supplier of specialized aerospace components to the U.S. Department of Defense.

The original pre-solicitation notice from DLA Aviation indicated the agency was preparing to solicit an IDC for the procurement of NSN 2840-00-429-2770 aircraft air seals, with Eaton Corporation and General Electric identified as the current approved sources of supply. The agency invited interested parties to contact the contracting officer by October 15, 2019, to express their interest in providing offers for this upcoming solicitation. The resulting IDC awards to Eaton Corporation, valued up to $2.4 million across two contracts, demonstrate the company's ability to reliably fulfill the government's requirements for these critical aircraft components.
