Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A718D0398

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has awarded a series of firm-fixed-price delivery order contracts to G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., a woman-owned small business located in Hauppauge, New York. These orders, valued at over $2.1 million in total, are for the procurement of aircraft air duct assemblies in support of the agency's requirement for frequently purchased items. Several of the orders were placed against an existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle held by G.S.E. Dynamics, which facilitates efficient ordering over an extended period. G.S.E. Dynamics is a manufacturer of aerospace and defense components, and has a history of providing various aircraft spare parts, maritime equipment, and related repair services to the Department of Defense through both set-aside and unrestricted prime contract awards.

The original solicitation for this requirement was issued by DLA Aviation as a 100% small business set-aside to establish an IDIQ contract for the air duct assemblies, with a 1-year base period and four 1-year option periods. The solicitation indicated that the government intended to negotiate with only one or a limited number of sources under the authority of FAR 6.302. Based on the task orders awarded, G.S.E. Dynamics was selected as the prime contractor to deliver the air duct assemblies, which are used on the C-130 aircraft. The government's evaluation criteria likely considered a combination of price, past performance, and other factors as described in the original solicitation.
