Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A725D0236

Aerometals, Inc., a small business aerospace component manufacturer located in El Dorado Hills, California, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on May 27, 2025, with a ceiling value of $1,999,999.99 and an ultimate completion date of May 25, 2030. The contract establishes a total small business set-aside vehicle for the procurement of heat shields for non-aircraft applications, as indicated by the National Stock Number classification 4610121704. The underlying solicitation, posted April 9, 2025, specifically sought heat shields for UH-60 Series helicopters (National Stock Number 2835-011197426) manufactured according to drawing NR 78286 70303-03023, Revision AE, with an estimated annual quantity of 60 units and delivery required 300 days after order receipt. The contract represents DLA Aviation's effort to establish a flexible procurement mechanism for critical aerospace components supporting military helicopter sustainment operations.

To date, two firm fixed-price delivery orders have been issued under this Indefinite Delivery Contract, totaling $215,280.00, both awarded on May 27, 2025, with completion dates of July 1, 2026. The first delivery order carries a ceiling value of $71,760.00, and the second $143,520.00, both for heat shield production with place of performance at Aerometals' El Dorado Hills, California facility. These delivery orders do not carry specific small business set-aside designations, indicating they may be executed outside the original set-aside parameters while remaining under the parent contract's vehicle. The contract structure enables DLA Aviation to issue task orders flexibly to address unpredictable maintenance demands across military aviation platforms while maintaining established pricing and terms through the prime contractor relationship.
