Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A725D0334

This Indefinite Delivery Contract, awarded to Coating Specialties, Inc. (doing business as Aero Products Co.) on August 26, 2025, is a single-award, total small business set-aside vehicle with a ceiling value of $5.1 million and a performance period extending through August 25, 2030. The contract is funded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, a defense agency component. Coating Specialties, Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Los Angeles, California, specializes in the production of specialized aviation parts and components for the United States Department of Defense. Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, the company will supply critical aviation equipment and components supporting military aircraft readiness and sustainment requirements, with the capability to deliver parachute systems, seat components, structural supports, canopy covers, weapon mounting kits, and various repair kits through task order issuance.

The original solicitation, posted March 4, 2024, sought sources for National Stock Number 1670-014111780, a parachute container assembly, under the total small business set-aside. DLA Aviation intended to evaluate capability statements to determine award strategy, with the potential for multiple awards under full and open competition or maintenance of the small business set-aside classification. Coating Specialties, Inc. was identified as an incumbent supplier, along with The Conrad Company, demonstrating the company's established performance history in supplying these critical defense components. The resulting single-award IDC enables DLA Aviation to efficiently procure specialized aviation parts on an as-needed basis through task order mechanisms, supporting the Department of Defense's operational readiness across multiple military branches while maintaining small business contracting goals.
