Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A621DC138

The federal contract IDV award was issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to Honeywell International Inc., doing business as Grimes Aerospace Company, to provide aircraft landing lights and related components. As a prime contractor, Grimes Aerospace will deliver these parts to support DLA Aviation's procurement of aviation supplies and equipment for the Department of Defense. The initial delivery orders are valued at $507,542 each, with a firm fixed price structure and place of performance in Urbana, Ohio. This IDV award is part of a larger $144 million, 10-year hybrid IDIQ contract that enables DLA Aviation to issue delivery orders for Grimes Aerospace to provide sole source spare parts and supply chain management services across various military aircraft platforms, including the C-130, F-15, F/A-18, B-52, C-5, E-3, P-3, UH-60, and H-53. This comprehensive contract underscores Grimes Aerospace's role in supporting and maintaining a wide range of U.S. military aircraft through the supply of essential components and logistical services.

The original federal contract opportunity was a sources sought notice issued by DLA Richmond to identify qualified parties that could provide the landing light components. No set-aside was used, and the procurement method was left open to potential full and open competition or small business set-aside based on the market research results. The notice outlined the government's objectives to secure a contractor capable of new manufacturing, component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping, as well as supply chain management responsibilities.
