The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, a component of the U.S. Department of Defense, awarded an indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Adept Fasteners Inc., a for-profit aerospace fastener provider. The single-award IDC, valued up to $250,000, enables the DLA to efficiently procure critical aviation supplies including self-locking nuts, shear bolts, turnlock receptacles, and other specialized aerospace hardware as needed through firm-fixed-price delivery orders. Adept Fasteners Inc. holds multiple active IDCs with the DLA Aviation, collectively valued up to $2.4 million per contract, to support military aircraft maintenance and readiness. The IDCs have performance periods spanning 1-5 years, and the company has received several delivery orders against these contracts for the supply of standard and customized aviation fasteners and components. These awards, which are typically not set aside, demonstrate Adept Fasteners' established role as a prime contractor providing mission-critical parts to the U.S. Department of Defense.
Under this specific IDC, the DLA Aviation has issued multiple delivery orders to Adept Fasteners for the supply of self-locking nuts, with individual order values ranging from $1,081.50 to $3,952.50 and performance periods ending between January 2024 and July 2024. The company will fulfill these orders from its facility in Valencia, California. While the delivery orders are not designated as set-asides, Adept Fasteners qualifies as a for-profit small business and has received some DLA Aviation awards under total small business set-asides in the past, demonstrating its ability to compete for and execute a range of federal contracts.
