Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A720D0062

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded Honeycomb Company of America, Inc., a small business manufacturer of aerospace components, an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $862,143.12 to provide structural panels and other critical aircraft components to support military aircraft fleet sustainment, repair, and readiness. The contract utilizes a total small business set-aside and has an ultimate completion date of December 22, 2024. Under this IDC, DLA Aviation has issued several firm fixed-price delivery orders to Honeycomb for the production and delivery of specific aircraft parts, including skin panel assemblies for the B-52 bomber, structural panels for the KC-135 tanker, and components for the C-5 transport. The delivery orders range in value from $26,813.94 to $114,952.32 and specify performance timelines from 140 to over 300 days, depending on the complexity of the components. These task orders enable DLA Aviation to rapidly procure proprietary aircraft parts from the small business prime contractor to fulfill its mission of global logistics readiness for the U.S. military.

The original solicitation for this IDC was a pre-solicitation for an Indefinite Quantity Contract to procure structural panels for the C/KC-135 aircraft, with an estimated annual quantity of 24 panels. The contract was set aside for total small business participation, and the final award decision was based on a combination of price, past performance, and other evaluation factors. The solicitation included provisions for export control, configuration control, and government first article testing, as the parts being procured are critical applications for military aircraft.
