Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7L420D61BA

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Southern Automotive Wholesalers, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Pontiac, Michigan. The IDC, valued up to $250,000, enables Southern Automotive Wholesalers to provide a steady supply of automotive parts and components to DLA over a multi-year period. The contract primarily supports the DLA's logistics programs for military aviation fleets, land vehicles, and maritime vessels. Under the IDC, Southern Automotive Wholesalers has received a series of firm-fixed-price delivery orders to supply engine regulators, filters, and other standard automotive hardware. Many of these orders were placed without set-aside provisions, though the IDC itself was awarded under a total small business set-aside. The contracted items are intended to maintain readiness and operational capabilities across the Department of Defense's vehicle and equipment inventories.

The original solicitation was an electronic request for quote (RFQ) for National Stock Number 2920009007993 REGULATOR,ENGINE GE, with an estimated 11 orders per year and a guaranteed minimum of 6 units. The solicitation indicated the procurement could result in an automated IDC with a one-year base period and a $250,000 ceiling. All responsible small business sources were invited to submit quotes, which would be evaluated for award of the single-award IDC to the successful offeror.
