Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A723D0156

This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to Sarco Inc., doing business as Sarco, a for-profit small business. The IDC, valued up to $1,999,999.99, facilitates the efficient procurement of industrial components and accessories aligned with Sarco's manufacturing capabilities. Under this contract, Sarco has received multiple delivery orders to provide bladder accumulators, a critical spare part used to support the maintenance and repair of military aircraft. The delivery order values range from $47,439 to $216,864, with performance occurring at Sarco's facility in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. These awards are not set aside and are part of DLA Aviation's broader efforts to ensure a steady supply of parts and equipment to maintain the military's aviation assets. As the Department of Defense's primary logistics agency, DLA Aviation manages the global supply chain, procuring aircraft spares and other related items to support major weapons systems for the armed services.

The original solicitation was a sources sought notice issued by DLA to identify potential suppliers capable of manufacturing bladder accumulators. While the notice indicated the requirement may be set aside for small businesses or procured through full and open competition, the resulting awards to Sarco did not include any set-aside designation. The sources sought notice provided details on the specific part number, estimated annual quantity, and technical requirements, though it noted that drawings were not available. The notice also outlined the government's evaluation criteria, which focused on the supplier's capacity, financial and technical resources, project management capabilities, and experience delivering similar services under a performance-based contract.
