The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Aircraft & Commercial Enterprises, Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business in Derby, Kansas. The IDC has a potential value of $250,000 and facilitates the supply of electrical connectors, plugs, and related specialty components to support U.S. military ground vehicles, vessels, and other defense logistics programs. Aircraft & Commercial Enterprises has fulfilled several delivery orders against this IDC, providing connector plugs at firm fixed prices ranging from $469 to $502. The company has demonstrated capabilities as an approved source for these critical spare parts, which are procured without any set-aside designations. This IDC was competitively awarded in January 2021 under a small business set-aside, with a base ordering period of one year and two 365-day option periods.
The DLA Land and Maritime, which supports the acquisition and delivery of land and maritime equipment, issued the underlying solicitation for this IDC in October 2020. The solicitation sought to establish a contract to supply qualified connector plug items from approved manufacturers in various order quantities to meet DLA's annual requirements. As a small business set-aside, the contract is accessible to the eligible vendor community, enabling the DLA to leverage the specialized expertise and agile responsiveness of firms like Aircraft & Commercial Enterprises to fulfill its mission-critical supply chain needs.
