The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to Echelon Supply and Service, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer, to provide nonmetallic hoses. This contract facilitates the streamlined ordering of these standardized parts to support military ground vehicle and aviation maintenance programs. Echelon, which maintains additional IDCs with DLA components, has been issued multiple fixed-price delivery orders under this contract to date, collectively valued at over $1.6 million. The orders, which do not utilize any set-aside provisions, require Echelon to deliver the specified nonmetallic hoses from its facility in Liverpool, New York by various completion dates through 2024. This contract vehicle allows DLA to readily replenish inventories and fulfill requirements without conducting new competitions.
The original market research solicitation from DLA Land and Maritime sought potential sources that could manufacture NSN 4720-01-421-0297 nonmetallic hoses. As an experienced supplier of hoses, valves, and other industrial components to the Department of Defense, Echelon responded to provide these parts in support of DLA's maintenance programs. The contract was subsequently awarded on an unrestricted basis in November 2019, enabling Echelon to fulfill delivery orders for the hoses as needed over the base one-year period.
