Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7L322D63NE

This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime to Southern Automotive Wholesalers, Inc., a small business manufacturer and supplier of automotive parts and components based in Pontiac, Michigan. The IDC, valued at $250,000, enables Southern Automotive Wholesalers to provide a steady supply of automotive hardware, including injector assemblies, cable assemblies, filters, hoses, and other vehicular components, to support the Department of Defense's military aviation, land, and maritime fleets over a multi-year period. Many of the individual delivery orders issued under this IDC, as well as other IDVs held by Southern Automotive Wholesalers, are firm-fixed-price contracts ranging from $1,582 to $22,939. These delivery orders are primarily for the procurement of various injector assemblies, with completion dates spanning from June 2023 to February 2024. The contracts do not utilize any set-aside designations, though Southern Automotive Wholesalers' status as a small business manufacturer is reflected in its participation in these IDVs, many of which are set aside for total small business participation. The company also maintains a $400,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Army's Contracting Command to provide cooling unit hardware for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system.
