Eleven delivery orders totaling approximately $25,986.04 in cumulative value have been issued under this indefinite delivery contract between December 2018 and August 2023, demonstrating consistent utilization of the vehicle for aviation maintenance and supply needs. Individual task order values have ranged from $1,478.76 to $6,487.20, with completion dates typically scheduled within four to nine months of award.
