Indefinite Delivery Contract SPRDL120D0112

This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to Ruta Supplies Inc., a small business manufacturer based in New Jersey, provides a three-year vehicle for the procurement of various industrial components, hardware supplies, electronics, and vehicle parts to support military logistics, aviation, and ground systems programs. The $458,881.20 IDC enables DLA and other DoD agencies to issue task orders for a wide range of items such as metallic tubes, brake drums, vehicle horns, shock absorbers, hose assemblies, and other mechanical and electrical components as needed, with a minimum order quantity of 2 and a maximum of 53. The initial $16,995.60 firm fixed price delivery order against this IDC was issued by the Army Contracting Command to fulfill a requirement for 2 carrier assemblies, national stock number 2520-01-167-8054, to be delivered to the Army in Dover, New Jersey by December 2020. The IDC was awarded on an unrestricted basis, allowing for full and open competition, and has a period of performance through July 2023.

The original pre-solicitation notice indicated that this IDC would be restricted to Dana Commercial Vehicle Products, LLC or an approved distributor for the procurement of the specified carrier assembly. However, the actual award was made to the small business prime contractor, Ruta Supplies Inc., which has demonstrated its capability to provide a diverse array of critical components supporting military programs through multiple previous contract awards, some of which were set aside for small business participation.
