The federal contract IDV award SPE4A724D0256 was made by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to PPG Industries, Inc. Aerospace Division, doing business as Pinetree Consulting. This single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) has a ceiling value of $749,999.99 and runs through August 2027. Under this IDC, DLA Aviation and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command will issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for the procurement of aircraft transparency components such as windshield panels, window panels, shim kits, and radar absorbent materials. These critical aviation parts support the maintenance and modernization of various Department of Defense (DoD) aircraft fleets. PPG Aerospace, a global supplier of paints, coatings, and specialty materials, leverages its expertise to provide these essential products, primarily from its facility in Huntsville, Alabama. The initial delivery order SPE4A724F008K, valued at $70,413.00, is for the procurement of a specific glass assembly component.
The original federal contract opportunity, a pre-solicitation notice, sought qualified parties to support the manufacture and delivery of several National Stock Numbers (NSNs) related to aircraft windshield and side glass panels. The opportunity aimed to identify potential sources capable of furnishing the labor, materials, and logistics required for the new manufacture and supply of these critical aircraft transparency components. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 336413, and the government plans to evaluate respondents' capabilities to support a performance-based service acquisition contract.
