Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE8E920D0004

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Construction and Equipment division, has awarded a series of firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Jay Moulding Corp, a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Cohoes, New York. Under these orders, valued at over $590,000 in total, Jay Moulding Corp will provide various retro lantern kits and accessories to support military logistics, transportation, maintenance, and supply chain management activities across the DoD. The delivery orders are issued against an existing Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) held by Jay Moulding Corp, with individual orders ranging from several thousand to over $65,000. While most orders are not set-aside, the company's status as a woman-owned small business has resulted in some previous contract awards being designated as small business set-asides. The contracted products, which include National Stock Number (NSN) items such as electric lanterns, relay lanterns, battery chargers, and retro lantern kits, are critical for maintaining operational readiness and supporting DoD emergency lighting requirements worldwide.

The original contract opportunity, a 100% small business set-aside, was for the acquisition of two NSN retro lantern kits by DLA Troop Support. The solicitation anticipated multiple awards for each NSN, with the possibility of different vendors being selected for each item. This long-term contract has a base period of two years and three one-year option periods, with a total contract ceiling of $4 million. Jay Moulding Corp was one of the three approved sources of supply identified in the solicitation for both retro lantern kit NSNs, reflecting the company's established expertise and capabilities in the production of specialized military emergency lighting equipment.
