Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4AX19D5013

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (DLA Aviation) awarded a series of firm fixed price delivery order contracts to Clark Brothers Instrument Co., a small business manufacturer of instrumentation and measurement devices, for the supply of temperature indicators and related aviation products. These orders, valued at up to $54,124 each, were issued under the company's existing portfolio of seven active indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with DLA Aviation. The IDCs, which have a combined potential value up to $557,075 and performance periods extending through 2028, allow DLA Aviation to procure a range of aviation-related instrumentation such as pressure dial gauges, liquid level indicators, temperature transmitters, and other sensor and measurement equipment from Clark Brothers Instrument Co. to support aircraft maintenance, logistics programs, and operational needs across military branches. While some of the IDCs utilized small business set-asides, the specific delivery orders summarized were open market procurements. Clark Brothers Instrument Co., a for-profit manufacturer organized as a Subchapter S corporation, will perform all work at its facility in Utica, Michigan.

The temperature indicators provided under these delivery orders are critical components used to monitor aircraft systems and maintain readiness. By procuring these products through an experienced small business supplier like Clark Brothers Instrument Co., DLA Aviation is able to efficiently fulfill its mission of supplying parts and equipment to U.S. military aviation units. The firm fixed price contract structure and use of existing IDC vehicles provide DLA Aviation with a streamlined procurement mechanism to acquire these specialized instrumentation items as needed to sustain its aviation maintenance and logistics programs.
