Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A624D5175

This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to Aeropanel Corporation, a small business manufacturer of aviation components, on November 29, 2023, under a Total Small Business set-aside. The contract has a ceiling value of $250,000 and extends through November 28, 2028. Aeropanel Corporation, located in Boonton, New Jersey, specializes in manufacturing critical aircraft components and panels, including indicating panels, light transmitters, navigational lights, information panels, control panels, and bezels. The IDC serves as a blanket purchasing agreement enabling DLA Aviation to issue delivery orders for these aviation components on an as-needed basis to maintain operational readiness across the Department of Defense's aircraft fleet. The contract structure reflects DLA Aviation's supply chain management strategy of establishing relationships with qualified small business suppliers capable of providing specialized cockpit and avionics equipment that support military aircraft maintenance and readiness operations.

Under this IDC, task orders have been issued for specific aviation components, exemplified by a delivery order awarded on August 22, 2025, for $5,292 (firm fixed-price) for an indicating panel, with completion scheduled by October 31, 2025. Task orders under the IDC have historically ranged from $2,429 to $15,475, demonstrating the variable nature of ordering requirements under the indefinite delivery vehicle structure. All work is performed at Aeropanel's facility in Boonton, New Jersey. Aeropanel Corporation has held multiple single-award IDCs with DLA Aviation since 2001, positioning the company as an established and reliable source for specialized aviation components within the Defense Logistics Agency's supplier network. The small business set-aside designation ensures that this contract vehicle supports the federal government's procurement objectives of fostering competition among and promoting opportunities for small businesses in the defense industrial base.
