Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A725D0316

GA Richards & Co Inc., a Subchapter S Corporation based in Westbury, New York, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $2.0 million by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, a defense-focused federal agency, on July 29, 2025. This Total Small Business set-aside contract carries an ultimate completion date of July 28, 2030, establishing a five-year performance period. The contract leverages an indefinite delivery vehicle structure, which allows DLA Aviation to issue delivery orders for standardized aviation parts and components as operational requirements dictate. GA Richards & Co Inc. specializes in manufacturing and distributing critical aviation hardware, including control assemblies, structural supports, hinges, linkage assemblies, rod end bearings, aircraft frames, cargo tie-downs, and specialized fittings. These components are essential to the maintenance, logistics, and fleet sustainment programs supporting military aircraft operations across the Department of Defense.

The indefinite delivery contract mechanism provides DLA Aviation with procurement flexibility to satisfy recurring demand for standardized National Stock Number (NSN) items critical to military aviation asset sustainment. GA Richards & Co Inc. has demonstrated consistent capability in fulfilling similar agreements with DLA Aviation, with prior delivery orders ranging from approximately $2,000 to $35,000 in value. By consolidating procurement authority under this single-award IDV rather than issuing individual purchase orders, the contracting officer reduces administrative burden while ensuring continuous supply of aviation components to support Department of Defense fleet maintenance operations. The Total Small Business set-aside designation reflects the contractor's qualification as a small business concern and ensures the award advances federal small business contracting objectives while maintaining the technical capability required for defense aviation logistics support.
