Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A726D0155

S3 Aerodefense LLC, a certified small business aerospace defense contractor headquartered in Glendale, Wisconsin, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $899,999.99 by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation on January 22, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of January 21, 2029. The contract supports the manufacture and supply of Duct Assembly, Bleed components (National Stock Number 1560-00-728-9480), along with associated component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping services. Performance locations include Los Alamitos and Valencia, California, as well as River Hills, Wisconsin. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, which operates under the Department of Defense, issued this contract to maintain flexible procurement authority for specialized aviation components critical to military aircraft maintenance and sustainment operations across multiple platforms including fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft operated by the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard.

The originating market research solicitation, posted November 4, 2025, indicated that the government sought to identify qualified manufacturers capable of full manufacturing operations with established supply chain management, logistics planning, and production forecasting capabilities. The pre-solicitation notice specified an estimated annual procurement volume of 80 units and identified that Arrowhead Products Corp. previously manufactured the component under part number 712600-59. S3 Aerodefense's award followed this market research phase and reflects the contractor's demonstrated capability to manage diminishing manufacturing sources, material shortages, and long-lead time procurement while maintaining compliance with program requirements and delivering consistent, in-scope manufacturing and logistics services to support Department of Defense aircraft readiness objectives.
