This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to Defense Support Services, Inc., a minority-owned small business certified as a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) firm and Small Disadvantaged Business. The $250,000 ceiling value contract covers the delivery of various aviation consumable items, spare parts, and hardware, such as eyelets, turnlock fasteners, nuts, bolts, screws, and other components across Federal Supply Classes 53 and 46. This single-award IDC enables DLA Aviation to issue task orders over a performance period extending to 2029, supporting ongoing military aircraft maintenance and supply chain operations. While most task orders are not set aside, Defense Support Services has secured some awards through total small business or HUBZone set-asides, leveraging its socioeconomic certifications.
The sample task orders provided demonstrate firm fixed-price deliveries of eyelet and turnlock fastener hardware, ranging from $2,718.76 to $10,504.30, with ultimate completion dates from 2022 to 2024. The awards cover National Stock Numbers for various aviation-specific components required by DLA Aviation. As a prime contractor, Defense Support Services fulfills these requirements from its facility in Arlington, Texas without major subcontractors. These task orders are placed against the overarching IDC to provide DLA a streamlined procurement mechanism for essential maintenance and logistics support items needed to sustain military air operations.
