Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE8EJ21D1031

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support awarded an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract with a potential value of thirty-three billion dollars to W S Darley & Co. of Itasca, Illinois under the Special Operations Equipment Tailored Logistics Support program. The contract is set aside for total small business and provides for worldwide logistical support for special operations equipment requirements of military and federal customers globally. Task orders awarded against the contract include deployable soft sided expeditionary shelters, Bear power units, environmental conditioning equipment, and various construction and equipment items to support expeditionary basing and logistics operations. Delivery orders issued from June 2022 through June 2025 have a total awarded value of approximately six hundred million dollars for work performed at the prime contractor's facility.

The original solicitation sought proposals to provide total logistics support for special operational equipment and related supplies and services. Requirements included survival gear, tactical equipment, diving gear, communication devices, air crew support items, and mountain climbing equipment. Evaluation was to be based on a best value tradeoff source selection with non-price factors significantly more important than price. The agency intended to make multiple awards against the total small business set-aside contract to contractors who could provide the best value through superior non-price factors and reasonable pricing. The potential contract value was thirty-three billion dollars over a ten-year period to support Defense Logistics Agency customers worldwide.
