Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4AX18D9433

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded an indefinite delivery contract, SPE4AX18D9433, to the Bell Boeing Joint Project Office, a joint venture between Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. and The Boeing Company. The contract, valued at up to $1 billion, is for the procurement of various aircraft sensors, components, spare parts, repair services, upgrades, and capability enhancements for the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft operated by the U.S. Department of Defense.

As the original equipment manufacturer and lead systems integrator for the V-22 program, the Bell Boeing Joint Project Office is the sole source provider for many V-22-specific items. The contract includes firm fixed-price delivery orders for the supply of specialized components such as wiring harnesses, bushings, panels, and structural fittings. These orders, ranging from several thousand to several hundred thousand dollars, support the operational readiness and enhancement of the V-22 fleet. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations, leveraging Bell Boeing's unique position as the OEM for the V-22 Osprey. The delivery orders are typically issued by DLA Aviation, with some also coming from the Naval Supply Systems Command, under the overarching indefinite delivery contract.
