Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7L123D5007

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has awarded an indefinite delivery contract valued at $250,000 to DRS Technologies Canada LTD, a subsidiary of the Italian defense contractor Leonardo SPA, to provide non-rechargeable batteries over a three-year period. Under this contract vehicle, the agency has issued ten firm fixed price delivery orders to date totaling $30,000, with the latest orders ranging from $2,294.15 to $4,512.20 for the supply of various battery NSN stock numbers. DRS Technologies Canada LTD, a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer, will deliver the batteries from its facility in Ottawa, Canada to support the Defense Logistics Agency's mission of providing logistics support to the U.S. military and allies. No set-aside designations were used for this procurement. The agency utilizes this existing contract to efficiently obtain needed batteries without the need to re-compete each delivery order, leveraging DRS Technologies Canada LTD's status as a subsidiary of Leonardo SPA's global defense enterprise.

The indefinite delivery contract and associated task orders aim to provide the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime with a reliable source for non-rechargeable batteries required to sustain military readiness and equipment. As the original equipment manufacturer of these battery components, DRS Technologies Canada LTD is able to fulfill the agency's requirements through its Canadian manufacturing operations as a division of the larger Leonardo SPA organization. The agency's use of this IDV contract vehicle streamlines the procurement process and allows it to efficiently manage its inventory of critical battery supplies in support of U.S. Department of Defense programs.
