Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A621D5AAV

The federal contract IDV awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to Southern Automotive Wholesalers, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Pontiac, Michigan, is for the delivery of various automotive parts and components to support the U.S. military's aircraft and vehicle fleets globally. The $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) allows Southern Automotive Wholesalers to provide a steady supply of standard commercial off-the-shelf items such as cable assemblies, filter elements, preformed hoses, drag link-tie rods, speedometers, and other vehicular components over a multi-year period through 2026. Additionally, the contractor holds a $400,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Army's Contracting Command to deliver cooling unit hardware for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system.

The task orders issued under this IDC include firm fixed-price delivery orders for incandescent lamps valued at $3,120 and $5,600, with performance periods through May 2024 and January 2023, respectively. These orders are part of DLA Aviation's supply chain management and logistics programs to efficiently acquire lighting components and replacement parts for military aircraft and vehicle fleets. Many of Southern Automotive Wholesalers' federal contract awards, including this IDC, have been set aside for total small business participation, reflecting the agency's goal of supporting small business involvement in government procurement.
