Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A722D5327

This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to Honeycomb Company of America, Inc., a small business manufacturer of aerospace components based in Sarasota, Florida. The IDC has a ceiling value of $249,999.99 and a period of performance through April 2027. Honeycomb Company specializes in producing complex metal and composite parts for military aircraft, including structural panels, skins, fairings, trailing edges, and other critical components. Under this contract, Honeycomb will provide a range of these aircraft parts and assemblies to support DLA Aviation and other Department of Defense programs, such as the B-52 bomber, KC-135 tanker, and C-5 transport. The contract is structured as a single-award IDC, which allows DLA to rapidly procure proprietary aircraft components from Honeycomb through the issuance of firm fixed-price task orders. A recent $110,272.20 task order was issued for the delivery of 8,509 structural panels to be provided by March 2023, with no set-aside provisions applied.

This contract leverages Honeycomb's status as a small business manufacturer to support the readiness and sustainment of various military air platforms. Many of Honeycomb's previous contract awards with DLA Aviation and the Air Force Sustainment Center have utilized total small business set-asides, demonstrating the agency's commitment to engaging with small business suppliers to meet its critical aerospace component needs. The IDC provides DLA with a streamlined procurement vehicle to rapidly acquire these specialized, proprietary aircraft parts from Honeycomb to support fleet maintenance, repair, and overall military readiness objectives.
