Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A625D60KY

HC Merchandisers, Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Ontario, California, has been awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period of one year through August 20, 2026. This total small business set-aside contract procures SCREW, MACHINE components with National Stock Number 5305011742708, to be distributed to various Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) DLA depots. The contract is structured as an automated Indefinite Delivery Contract with an estimated four orders annually and a guaranteed minimum quantity of 19 units. HC Merchandisers was selected as the responsible offeror through a competitive Request for Quote process that concluded on November 29, 2024, based on the most advantageous quote considering price and other evaluation factors.

This procurement aligns with the Defense Logistics Agency's broader supply chain mission to maintain critical hardware components for military operations. HC Merchandisers' award reflects the contractor's established expertise in supplying specialized aerospace and defense-related fastening hardware to the Department of Defense, a capability the company has developed through numerous prior contract awards from DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime. The firm fixed-price task order structure enables the government to issue orders for specific quantities as operational requirements dictate, while the total small business set-aside designation supports the agency's commitment to small business participation in federal contracting. The contract's guaranteed minimum quantities and estimated annual order volumes provide predictable supply planning for both the government and contractor while maintaining flexibility to respond to fluctuating defense procurement needs.
