Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE8E920D0002

The U.S. federal government's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to U.S. Pioneer, L.L.C., a certified Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small business manufacturer. The IDC, valued up to $1,168,680.80, facilitates the procurement of various electrical and navigational components to support the U.S. Department of Defense's (DoD) global operations. Under this IDC, the DLA has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders for the supply of retrofit lantern kits, a critical product used by the DoD. The delivery orders, valued from $3,417 to $128,408.64, were awarded without any set-aside designation, allowing the DLA to efficiently obtain these essential items from the HUBZone-certified small business contractor. The contract work is performed at U.S. Pioneer's facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the delivery orders have completion dates ranging from 2021 to 2025.

The original DLA Troop Support solicitation for these retrofit lantern kits was a 100% small business set-aside, indicating the government's intent to support small and disadvantaged businesses in providing critical supplies to the DoD. The solicitation anticipated multiple awards for the two National Stock Numbers (NSNs) covering white and red retrofit lantern kits, with an estimated annual quantity of over 17,000 kits and a maximum contract value of $4 million. The solicitation required vendors to submit a Source Approval Request if proposing an alternate product, ensuring the kits met the DoD's technical requirements.
