Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A724D5081

Aiw-Alton Inc., a small business manufacturer headquartered in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division on December 13, 2023, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period extending through December 13, 2027. The contract, set aside for total small business participation, authorizes the procurement of tension plates for parachutes and related aviation components for Department of Defense applications. Aiw-Alton's established expertise in manufacturing specialized military components, combined with its Subchapter S corporation status and continuous registration in the System for Award Management since 2001, positions the company as a qualified supplier for this critical parachute system component.

Under this Indefinite Delivery Vehicle, the Defense Contract Management Agency issued a Firm Fixed Price Delivery Order valued at $33,550 on January 25, 2024, requiring completion by April 16, 2024, for the production of tension plates for parachutes with performance to occur in Torrington, Connecticut. This delivery order represents an initial task order executed under the parent Indefinite Delivery Contract and demonstrates the contracting agencies' utilization of the established vehicle to procure these specialized aviation components on an as-needed basis. The structure allows for continued ordering of parachute tension plates throughout the contract period without exceeding the overall $250,000 ceiling, enabling the government to maintain supply chain continuity for critical aerospace safety equipment while leveraging the small business set-aside benefits.
