Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A720D0175

The contract IDV and associated task orders illustrate Coating Specialties, Inc. (doing business as Aero Products Co.), a woman-owned small business manufacturer, as a key supplier of specialized aviation parts and components for the U.S. Department of Defense. Aero Products holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, with potential values ranging from $250,000 to over $2.5 million and performance periods extending through 2026-2028.

Through these IDCs, Aero Products provides a diverse array of critical items for military aircraft, including parachute systems, seat components, structural supports, and various repair kits. The IDCs allow DLA to issue firm-fixed price delivery orders for Aero Products' goods on an as-needed basis, supporting the Department of Defense's aviation readiness and sustainment requirements across all U.S. armed forces branches. The original small business set-aside solicitation by DLA Aviation sought to establish an Indefinite Quantity Contract for parachute container assemblies, with a base period and four option years, to meet an estimated annual demand of 377 units.
