Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7L323D61UV

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), a component of the U.S. Department of Defense, awarded Ruta Supplies Inc., a small business manufacturer, an indefinite delivery contract (IDC) valued up to $250,000 to provide a range of industrial components, hardware supplies, electronics, and vehicle parts in support of military logistics, aviation, and ground systems programs. Under this IDC, DLA has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders for fuel heaters, with a total ceiling value exceeding $25,000 to date. The delivery orders, awarded by DLA Land and Maritime, specify the provision of fuel heaters to the Dover, New Jersey area, likely to support the agency's mission of equipping U.S. armed forces. While some prior awards were set aside for small businesses, the majority of the task orders have not utilized any set-aside designations, demonstrating Ruta Supplies Inc.'s ability to compete effectively in both restricted and unrestricted federal procurement environments.

The original solicitation for this IDC was a total small business set-aside, seeking proposals for the provision of fuel heaters (National Stock Number 2910015119334) with an estimated annual quantity of 12 units and a one-year base period with the potential for a one-year option. The solicitation indicated that the resultant contract could be an automated IDC, with the contract ceiling set at $250,000. This IDC allows DLA and other DoD agencies to place orders for fuel heaters and other components on an as-needed basis to support their logistical operations worldwide.
