Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A723D0042

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, a component of the U.S. Department of Defense, awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Honeycomb Company of America, Inc., a small business manufacturer of aerostructures and aviation components. The $1,999,999.99 IDC enables DLA to rapidly procure a variety of proprietary aircraft components and assemblies through the issuance of firm fixed-price task orders. These include structural panels, skins, fairings, trailing edges, and other critical parts to support the sustainment, repair, and readiness of military air platforms such as the B-52 bomber, KC-135 tanker, and C-5 transport. The IDC utilizes a total small business set-aside, allowing DLA to streamline procurement from this specialized small business supplier. Recent task orders issued against the IDC range from $37,455.96 to $234,099.71 for the delivery of specific structural panel components, with performance periods typically between 140 to 300 days.

The contract originated from a pre-solicitation for an Indefinite Quantity Contract to procure various B-52 aircraft parts, which was set aside for small businesses. The solicitation sought offers for a 5-year base contract period to deliver an estimated maximum of 8 aircraft components per year, with technical specifications and first article testing requirements. This aligns with the current IDC and associated task orders awarded to Honeycomb Company, demonstrating their continued role as a key supplier of specialized aerospace parts and structures to support DLA Aviation's fleet sustainment initiatives.
