Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7L123D61AX

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued up to $250,000 to Houston Drive Train Vehicle Component Sales, Inc. (HDT Vehicle Component Sales, Inc.), a small business prime contractor based in Houston, Texas. The IDC facilitates the procurement of universal joint spiders, a critical automotive component used to maintain the readiness of military ground vehicles, aircraft, and maritime vessels. Under this IDC, DLA has issued several firm fixed-price delivery orders to HDT Vehicle Component Sales, Inc., ranging from $1,454.72 to $9,637.52, for the delivery of these universal joint spider components. The contracts typically have a one-year term with estimated annual order quantities and guaranteed minimum order requirements, demonstrating HDT Vehicle Component Sales, Inc.'s role as a trusted supplier of automotive spare parts to the DLA. The majority of these delivery orders do not have set-aside designations, though the underlying IDC was awarded as a total small business set-aside. The contracted items will be delivered to various DLA depots, both within the continental United States and overseas, in support of the agency's maintenance, repair, and overhaul programs for military transportation fleets.

The original solicitation for this IDC was a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of NSN 2520016578029 SPIDER,UNIVERSAL JO. The solicitation was set aside for total small business participation and aimed to establish a one-year IDC with a ceiling value of $250,000 and an estimated 9 orders per year. The guaranteed minimum quantity was 26 units, with delivery required within 69 days of order. This IDC, along with several other similar contracts held by HDT Vehicle Component Sales, Inc., enables the DLA to efficiently re-supply critical automotive components to support the operational readiness of the U.S. Department of Defense's vehicle fleets.
