The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Choctaw Defense Manufacturing LLC, a Native American-owned manufacturer and subsidiary of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. The single-award contract, valued up to $250,000, covers the provision of military equipment such as thumb latches over a one-year period. Choctaw Defense, as a certified 8(a) Program Participant and HUBZone firm, has secured multiple high-value IDVs with DLA, NAVAIR and other DoD agencies to deliver a range of products and logistics solutions, including for aircraft, vehicles and maritime assets. The original solicitation, a request for quotes, sought to establish an automated IDC for the thumb latch item with an estimated 4 orders per year and a guaranteed minimum of 7. The IDV leverages Choctaw Defense's socioeconomic status to promote participation of disadvantaged firms in defense procurement. The parent company, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, is the third largest federally recognized tribe and has received substantial federal grant funding across areas such as housing, infrastructure, education, health and environmental programs benefiting tribal members and communities. As a prime contractor, Choctaw Defense has executed task orders worth over $26 million for munitions trailers and $1.7 million for tarps and accessories, demonstrating its capability to fulfill high-value equipment and logistics requirements for the military.
