Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A725D5771

Aerial Machine & Tool Corporation, doing business as Capewell Aerial Systems, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $250,000 by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation on September 26, 2025, with a performance period extending through September 25, 2026. This Total Small Business set-aside contract procures specialized aviation life support equipment and combat-related aerial delivery systems. Based on Capewell's established product portfolio with DLA Aviation, the contract scope encompasses personnel harnesses, parachute systems and related components, deployment bags, static line extensions, flotation devices, and emergency breathing systems. These products represent mission-critical safety and survivability equipment utilized across various military aircraft platforms and aviation operations, with procurement conducted through task orders issued against the indefinite delivery vehicle.

The Capewell Aerial Systems contract aligns with the Department of Defense's established procurement patterns with this vendor, who operates as a veteran-owned small business manufacturer headquartered in Meadows of Dan, Virginia. The company has demonstrated sustained capability in supplying aviation components through multiple existing IDV contracts, including a substantially larger $49.2 million Aircrew Combat Equipment contract with Army Contracting Command-Redstone. The $250,000 DLA Aviation IDV represents a streamlined procurement mechanism enabling the federal agency to issue task orders for specialized aviation life support equipment without requiring individual competitive procurements, thereby reducing acquisition timelines while maintaining quality assurance through an established vendor relationship.
