Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A726D5128

Bourdon Forge Co Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Middletown, Connecticut, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation division on February 2, 2026, with a ceiling value of $350,000 and an ultimate completion date of February 1, 2030. This contract does not utilize a set-aside designation and represents DLA Aviation's procurement vehicle for specialized forged metal components critical to military aviation and airborne operations. Bourdon Forge specializes in the production of high-precision forged metal components for aerospace and defense applications, with particular expertise in manufacturing parachute and cargo hardware components including ejector snaps, snap hooks, ring assemblies, shackles, and static line snaps. All work is performed at the company's manufacturing facility in Middletown, Connecticut, with products distributed to various DLA Distribution centers domestically and internationally. The company has been an active federal contractor since 2002 and maintains established procurement relationships with the Department of Defense through multiple active Indefinite Delivery Contracts.

Under this contract vehicle, the DLA Aviation will issue firm-fixed-price delivery orders as operational requirements dictate to maintain adequate inventories of these mission-critical components throughout the military supply chain. Bourdon Forge's established track record with DLA includes a comparable $250,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for ring assembly VEE components awarded in February 2024, demonstrating the contractor's sustained capability to meet DLA Aviation's specialized component requirements. Individual delivery orders under Bourdon Forge's existing DLA contracts typically range from approximately $2,000 to $239,000, reflecting the variable nature of operational demand for these critical parachute and cargo hardware components. The contractor's competitive positioning in both restricted and unrestricted procurement environments, combined with its specialized manufacturing capabilities and established quality performance, supports DLA Aviation's defense industrial base requirements for reliable supply of these mission-essential components.
