This is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to Spares, Inc., a for-profit manufacturing company, to provide recurring aircraft parts and structural support services. The single-award IDC has a potential value of $149,999.99 and includes a partial small business set-aside. Under this IDC, Spares, Inc. has received firm fixed-price delivery orders to supply a variety of aviation components such as landing gear shafts, torque tubes, wing spar pins, shock absorber rings, and other parts to maintain operational readiness of military aircraft fleets. The work is performed primarily at Spares, Inc.'s facility in Florence, Oregon. The delivery orders summarized indicate that this IDC serves as a streamlined procurement mechanism for DLA Aviation to efficiently acquire needed aviation parts and services from Spares, Inc. on an as-needed basis.
The scope of the IDC appears to cover a broad range of aircraft and aviation-related components, with landing gear shafts being a key product. Spares, Inc. has demonstrated its capability to deliver these items on a firm fixed-price basis, both with and without small business set-asides. The long-standing relationship between Spares, Inc. and DLA Aviation, as evidenced by the multiple prior awards, suggests that this IDC is part of an ongoing effort to support DLA's logistics and supply chain management for military aviation.
