The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Safran Power USA, LLC, a subsidiary of the French aerospace and defense company Sagem SA, to provide a wide range of electrical components including circuit breakers, electromagnet relays, sensitive switches, push buttons, and toggle switches. The single-award IDC has a ceiling value of $1,028,000 and a period of performance through August 2024. Under this contract, DLA has issued firm fixed-price delivery orders for the procurement of specific national stock numbered items, such as push switches, to replenish inventory levels at DLA distribution points both domestically and overseas. These critical spare parts and components support military readiness across various ground vehicles, maritime vessels, and aviation platforms. Safran Power USA, as a prime contractor and manufacturer of goods, has a history of fulfilling similar IDCs and delivery orders for DLA to enable the flexible provisioning of standard electronics to maintain logistics supply chains.
The original solicitation was issued under FAR Subpart 13.5 for simplified acquisition of certain commercial items with no set-aside designation, allowing for full and open competition. The contract aims to procure two national stock numbered push switches with an estimated annual demand of 2,596 and 176 units, respectively. The final award decision weighed factors such as price, delivery, and past performance in addition to the overall value proposition. The contract enables DLA to efficiently manage inventory and supply chain logistics through the continuous supply of these electrical components from an approved source.
