Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A725D0347

S3 Aerodefense LLC, a small business aerospace defense contractor based in Glendale, Wisconsin, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation with a ceiling value of $2.0 million. The contract, awarded on August 22, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 21, 2028, supports the procurement of aviation spare parts, components, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for military aircraft systems. The contract was not designated as a set-aside procurement and is funded through the Department of Defense's defense agency budget. S3 Aerodefense brings extensive expertise in supplying specialized aerospace components to multiple branches of the U.S. military, including the Defense Logistics Agency, U.S. Coast Guard, Department of the Navy, and Air Force, with a proven track record of delivering complex assemblies and precision components critical to military aviation readiness.

The originating market research opportunity, issued as a pre-solicitation notice on May 13, 2025, identified a specific procurement requirement for National Stock Number 1560-003695639, a Bleed Duct Assembly for the C-5 weapons system aircraft. The sources sought notice indicated that DLA Aviation sought to expand the supplier base for this source-controlled component, which was previously sole-sourced to Arrowhead Products Corp. While the pre-solicitation notice did not specify quantities, budget values, or set-asides, the subsequent Indefinite Delivery Contract award to S3 Aerodefense demonstrates that the contractor successfully responded to the market research inquiry and was selected to provide this critical component along with related aviation logistics support. The contract structure enables flexible procurement of aircraft parts and MRO services across multiple military aviation platforms to support sustained Department of Defense operational capabilities.
