Indefinite Delivery Contract W15QKN20D5033

The U.S. Army Reserve Command awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Shield Services LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, for snow and ice removal services at the U.S. Army Reserve installation in Edgemont, Pennsylvania. The single-award IDC, valued at up to $636,010, has a period of performance through May 7, 2025. Under this IDC, the Army Reserve Command issues firm fixed-price delivery orders to Shield Services for recurring snow and ice removal, including plowing, salting, sanding, and ice melt application. The delivery orders range from around $7,000 to over $130,000 and cover base year and option year requirements. While some of Shield Services' task orders have been set aside for small businesses, the specific delivery orders summarized were not designated with a set-aside. The contracted services support facilities operations and maintenance at the Army Reserve installation to ensure year-round accessibility and operational readiness.

The original market research notice issued by the Army's contracting office indicated the intent to award a single firm-fixed-price requirements contract for snow and ice removal services at the Edgemont location. The notice, posted in January 2020, sought to identify qualified sources, including small businesses, capable of providing the necessary personnel, equipment, and materials to fulfill the Performance Work Statement. The contract ultimately awarded to Shield Services LLC was not subject to a small business set-aside, but the company's minority-owned and small disadvantaged business status contributed to its selection as the prime contractor.
