Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A724D0012

This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to Aerometals, Inc., a small business manufacturer of aerospace components based in El Dorado Hills, California. The $1,999,999.99 single-award IDC covers the delivery of a variety of aircraft spare parts, components, and structural items over a period ending on December 14, 2028. Under this IDC, DLA can efficiently address unpredictable maintenance demands across multiple defense platforms by issuing firm fixed-price delivery orders for items such as duct assemblies, link assemblies, torque shoes, roller assemblies, fluid dampeners, and structural supports. While the majority of delivery orders utilize small business set-asides, some unrestricted orders allow Aerometals to provide a broader scope of items in support of DLA Aviation's sustainment and maintenance programs for military aircraft.

The contract was originated from a DLA Aviation sources sought notice that identified a specific requirement for a "Spacer, Ring" with national stock number 5365-01-096-1512. The agency was conducting market research to identify qualified manufacturers, including Aerometals, that could provide an estimated annual quantity of 275 rings. The sources sought notice did not constitute a formal solicitation but indicated the requirement may ultimately be set aside for small businesses or procured through full and open competition, with the potential for multiple awards.
