The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (DLA Aviation) awarded Dircksen & Associates, Inc., a small business manufacturer, a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to provide various aircraft strut valve assemblies on an as-needed basis. The IDC has a potential value of $1,674,660. Under this IDC, DLA Aviation has issued firm fixed-price delivery orders for valve assemblies with part numbers 8509766019, 8509763874, 8508335702, and 8507510763. The delivery orders have a total potential value of $0 and require Dircksen & Associates to deliver the parts to Columbus, Ohio by specified completion dates. These contracts support DLA Aviation's mission to procure critical aircraft components for the U.S. military. Dircksen & Associates, with its expertise in manufacturing specialized industrial parts, has an established history as a prime contractor providing electromagnetic relays, contactors, and other assemblies to DLA and other Defense Department agencies under small business set-aside contracts. The IDC and associated delivery orders demonstrate DLA Aviation's ongoing need for aircraft strut valve assemblies to maintain and repair military aircraft fleets. Dircksen & Associates, as the prime contractor, will leverage its manufacturing capabilities to fulfill these requirements on a firm fixed-price basis. The lack of set-aside provisions on the recent delivery orders suggests DLA Aviation may have used the single-award IDC vehicle to acquire these parts efficiently, while Dircksen & Associates' small business status likely contributed to its selection as the prime contractor for the original IDC award.
