This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a ceiling value of $250,000 was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, a component of the U.S. Department of Defense, to Defense Support Services, Inc. (DSSI), a certified Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small business. The contract covers a range of standard hardware items such as bolts, nuts, screws, fasteners, clamps, and turnlock fasteners, as well as more specialized aviation components. These products fall under Federal Supply Classes 53 (Hardware and Abrasives) and 46 (Pipe, Tubing, Hose, and Fittings). DSSI, headquartered in Arlington, Texas, has been awarded multiple IDCs with DLA Aviation to provide these aviation consumable items to support military readiness over the contract period, which extends to 2029. The contract is a single-award vehicle, without any set-aside designations, that enables DLA to issue firm-fixed price delivery orders for off-the-shelf parts and materials as needed. Through these long-term IDCs, DSSI positions itself as a reliable supplier for DLA's ongoing aviation logistics requirements.
The task orders reviewed indicate that DSSI has been awarded delivery orders ranging from $208 to $734 for the procurement of various National Stock Numbered clevis bolts. These orders were issued against the overarching IDC and are intended to fulfill DLA Aviation's needs for standard hardware components essential to aircraft maintenance and supply chain operations. The orders are placed on a firm-fixed price basis, with performance locations in Arlington, Texas, where DSSI is headquartered. As a certified HUBZone small business, DSSI may benefit from set-aside preferences maintained by DLA to support small business participation, even though the majority of the IDC orders reviewed did not carry a set-aside designation.
