About this IDV
The Aviation branch of the Department of Defense awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Ara, Inc. (doing business as Aerospace Research Associates) on March 30, 2026, with a ceiling of $350,000 and an ultimate completion date of March 29, 2031. No set-aside was used; the contract is open to full-and-open competition.
Ara, Inc. is a veteran-owned small business based in San Dimas, California, that manufactures specialized aerospace components and aircraft maintenance parts. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontracting footprint and holds no presence on government-wide vehicles or GSA Schedules.
Work is performed at the contractor's San Dimas facility. The solicitation seeks aircraft seat cushions, resilient weapon mounts, helical torsion springs, mechanical fasteners, and related airframe components—the core of Ara's focused aerospace manufacturing capability.
The contract runs from March 30, 2026, through March 29, 2031, as a five-year base term with no option periods stated in the source. The $350,000 ceiling represents a non-set-aside vehicle and reflects Ara's established supply relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency's Aviation branch, which accounts for the majority of the company's contract portfolio by both volume and dollar value.
