Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A723D0129

This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to American Fuel Cell And Coated Fabrics Company, LLC (doing business as Amfuel), a manufacturer of aviation fuel system components. The single-award IDC, with a ceiling value of $1,999,999.99, covers the procurement of NSN 1680-01-524-1063: CELL, FUEL, AIRCRAFT for a 5-year base period. Amfuel, a subsidiary of the aerospace company Zodiac SA, specializes in producing fuel cells, fuel tanks, baffles, and other critical aircraft parts for the U.S. Department of Defense and its contractors. The IDC allows DLA Aviation and other military customers to place task orders against the established agreement to replenish aircraft fuel system stockpiles and meet recurring demands. This contract award follows a sources sought notice issued by DLA Aviation to identify potential suppliers capable of manufacturing the specified fuel cell component, which may be set aside for small businesses or procured through full and open competition.

The DLA Aviation's market research, as outlined in the sources sought notice, aims to secure the services of a contractor that can provide the new manufacture of the aircraft fuel cell, including component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping. The contractor is also expected to manage the supply chain, logistics planning, forecasting, and address issues related to diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages. This IDC award to Amfuel demonstrates the company's extensive experience as a prime contractor with DLA and other military agencies, delivering a diverse array of aircraft fuel system components to support aviation readiness.
