Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A718D0332

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Airborne Systems North America of CA Inc., a subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated, for the procurement of personnel parachute systems, harnesses, and related aerial delivery equipment. The $5.67 million single-award IDC has an ultimate completion date of September 12, 2023. Under this contract, DLA has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to Airborne Systems, valued at over $3.6 million in total, for the supply of personnel parachutes, harnesses, and spare components. The delivery orders specify performance at Airborne Systems' facility in Santa Ana, California, and support DLA Aviation's mission to provide equipment and supplies in support of the Department of Defense's national defense needs. Airborne Systems is a global manufacturer of military parachutes, ejection seat parachutes, and aerial delivery systems, with extensive experience as both a prime contractor and subcontractor for the DOD and NASA.

The IDC and associated delivery orders allow DLA to efficiently obtain personnel parachute systems, spare parts, and related services on an as-needed basis to support ongoing military operations, training, and space exploration initiatives. Airborne Systems' existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the Army and DLA for items such as the MC-6, T-11, and RA-1 parachute systems likely serve as the basis for this IDC award. No set-aside designations were used for the IDC or the delivery orders issued to date.
