Indefinite Delivery Contract SPRDL118D0140

This federal Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command to Seiler Instrument and Manufacturing Company, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in St. Louis, Missouri. The 5-year, single-award contract has a ceiling value of $505,557.46 and covers the delivery of eyepiece assemblies, National Stock Number 1240-01-079-3036, primarily for the M1 Abrams tank program. Multiple delivery orders have been issued under this IDC, including orders for 439, 105, 100, 91, and 84 eyepiece assemblies, with firm fixed-price values ranging from $38,750 to $296,992.28. Seiler Instrument, an experienced defense contractor, has provided these specialized optical components to the Army and other government agencies through several significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) and Blanket Purchase Agreements, demonstrating its technical capabilities and reliability as a supplier of precision instruments, electronic assemblies, and fabricated parts for military applications.

The IDC aims to establish a reliable source of supply for the eyepiece assemblies, which are a critical component for the M1 Abrams tank. As a small business set-aside contract, this vehicle allows the government to leverage Seiler Instrument's specialized manufacturing expertise while supporting the participation of small businesses in federal procurements. The combination of an IDC structure and firm fixed-price delivery orders provides the Army with flexibility to meet its recurring demand for these components while maintaining cost control.
