Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A723D0302

This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to Safran Landing Systems, a prominent manufacturer of aircraft landing and braking systems, provides a wide range of aircraft components and spare parts to support maintenance and repair programs for U.S. military aircraft fleets. The contract, which has a ceiling value of $750,000 and a period of performance through August 15, 2028, enables DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime to efficiently procure recurring requirements for aircraft hardware such as nuts, screws, seals, retaining rings, pins, hydraulic pistons, and other spare parts through firm fixed-price task orders. The task orders, typically valued between $12,000 and $60,000, help sustain the readiness of DoD aircraft platforms worldwide by ensuring a steady supply of critical components. This IDC is part of DLA's broader efforts to manage its aviation supply chain and support the maintenance and repair of various military aircraft through strategic sourcing contracts with industrial suppliers.

The original solicitation was a sources sought notice issued by DLA Aviation to identify qualified manufacturers capable of providing new production of specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for pins, shoulder pins, and retaining rings used on military aircraft. The market research aimed to determine the appropriate procurement method, which could include establishing Safran Landing Systems, a for-profit organization based in France with operations in Kentucky, as an "approved source" for these aviation parts. The resulting IDC and associated task orders awarded to Safran Landing Systems do not utilize any set-aside designations, with all performance occurring at the contractor's facilities in France.
