The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (DLA Aviation) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Washington Foundries Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer, for the supply of various bearing, washer, and thrust components. The single-award IDC, valued at up to $250,000, has an ultimate completion date of February 11, 2025. Under this IDC, DLA Aviation has issued multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders to Washington Foundries for the procurement of National Item Identification Numbers (NIINs) such as 8508794246, 8508728488, and 8508555034. These standard bearing and thrust parts are critical to maintaining the operational readiness of military aircraft, vehicles, and equipment managed by DLA Aviation on behalf of the Department of Defense.
As the primary logistics provider for spare parts, DLA Aviation relies on contracts like this IDC with Washington Foundries to ensure a steady supply of necessary hardware components. While no small business set-asides were applied to the individual delivery orders, Washington Foundries' status as a woman-owned small business, Asian-Pacific American owned, and self-certified HUBZone joint venture likely contributed to its selection as the prime contractor. The delivery orders specify performance at Washington Foundries' facilities in Santa Fe Springs, California and Lindenhurst, New York, with the most recent award occurring in April 2024. This long-term IDC and associated task orders allow DLA Aviation to efficiently acquire these critical bearing and thrust components through a trusted small business supplier.
