Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A520D0028

L.P. Aero Plastics, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of specialized aviation components based in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, has been awarded a Single Award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The IDC has a ceiling value of $250,000 and is set aside for small businesses. Under this IDC, DLA Aviation issues delivery orders to L.P. Aero Plastics to provide various aircraft components, such as window panels, plastic windows, lenses, lights, and other optical parts. These orders, valued from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, support the maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities for military aircraft fleets and ground vehicles operated by the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. L.P. Aero Plastics also holds multiple other IDCs with DLA Aviation, collectively valued between $250,000 to nearly $1 million each, to deliver a range of specialized aviation parts and materials on an as-needed basis through 2028. The flexibility of these IDC vehicles allows DLA Aviation to efficiently procure critical spare parts from L.P. Aero Plastics to sustain military aviation operations.

The contract IDV and associated delivery orders reviewed show that DLA Aviation awards firm fixed price contracts to L.P. Aero Plastics for the supply of various aircraft lighting components, including lens lights. While the original IDV contract was designated as a total small business set-aside, the individual delivery orders issued against it generally do not utilize set-aside preferences. L.P. Aero Plastics' aviation components are manufactured and delivered from its facility in Jeannette, Pennsylvania to support DLA Aviation's mission of providing logistics support for the Department of Defense's military aircraft and ground vehicle fleets.
