Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A722D5495

Beta Engineering, Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Arlington, Texas, was awarded a Total Small Business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on July 12, 2022, with a ceiling value of $249,999.99 and an ultimate completion date of July 11, 2027. The contract establishes a single-award indefinite delivery vehicle enabling DLA Aviation to issue flexible delivery orders for aviation components and fasteners, specifically post flap screws and related hardware used in military aircraft systems. The contract vehicle reflects DLA's procurement strategy to maintain a responsive supply chain for critical aviation parts through a qualified small business supplier capable of manufacturing specialized components to defense specifications.

Two delivery orders have been issued under this indefinite delivery contract: the first, awarded October 26, 2022, valued at $22,440.00 with completion by July 26, 2024, and the second, awarded September 6, 2022, valued at $17,956.00 with completion by July 19, 2024. Both delivery orders are firm fixed-price contracts for post flap screw items with performance at Beta Engineering's facility in Arlington, Texas, and neither utilized small business set-aside designations at the delivery order level despite the underlying contract's small business set-aside status. These orders demonstrate the practical application of the indefinite delivery contract vehicle, allowing DLA Aviation to efficiently procure required aviation components while maintaining cost control through firm fixed-price arrangements with an established small business supplier.
