The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded an indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Champion Aerospace LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transdigm Group Incorporated, to procure various ignition system components such as gas turbine igniters, spark plugs, power supplies, and other critical aviation spare parts. The single-award IDC has a ceiling value of $749,999.99 and a period of performance through June 2027. Under this contract, DLA Aviation has issued multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders to Champion Aerospace, a manufacturer of proprietary aerospace components, to support military fleet sustainment programs. These delivery orders, valued between $21,000 and $60,000 each, have tasked Champion Aerospace to deliver specific quantities of NSN-coded ignition system parts to be used in aircraft, vehicles, and vessels across the Department of Defense. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations, as Champion Aerospace is the sole-source approved manufacturer for these specialized aviation components. Performance on the delivery orders occurs at Champion Aerospace's facility in Liberty, South Carolina. The original market research conducted by DLA Aviation sought to identify potential sources capable of manufacturing and delivering the required gas turbine igniter components, which are currently sole-sourced from Pratt & Whitney. While no formal solicitation was issued, DLA invited vendors to submit capability statements to be considered for this requirement. Based on the responses received, DLA determined that Champion Aerospace, as the original equipment manufacturer, would be the most suitable contractor to fulfill these critical spare parts needs through an IDC contracting approach.
