The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center awarded multiple indefinite delivery contracts to Floats & Fuel Cells Inc. to support the C-130 fleet's fuel bladder needs over a five-year period. The original solicitation sought pre-qualified sources for the manufacture of six national stock numbers for bladder fuel cells, with estimated order quantities ranging from 2 to 200 units annually depending on the part number. The resulting IDV has a potential value of $31.2M and allows for the issuance of delivery orders 180 days after receipt for requirements through September 2026. Three delivery orders have been awarded against this IDV to date. In September 2021, a $6M order was placed for C-130 fuel bladders to be performed in Memphis through April 2025. Two additional orders valued at $612,905 and $66,560 respectively were awarded in August and December 2022 for fuel bladder and bladder cell procurement. All orders were awarded as firm fixed price contracts by the Air Force Sustainment Center, which supports the Air Force's C-130 fleet through aircraft and component sustainment programs. Floats & Fuel Cells Inc. serves as the prime contractor manufacturing and delivering the critical fuel system components to maintain the Air Force's C-130 aircraft mission capabilities.
