About this IDV
Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense Company was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract by the Program Executive Office Ammunition, a subordinate organization of the U.S. Army, on September 29, 2022, with a ceiling value of $35.1 million and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027. The contract encompasses the supply of specialized detonating cord products in multiple configurations: M456 Detonating Cord Type 1 Class E, M456 Detonating Cord Type 1 Class M, and M458 Detonating Cord Type 1 Class E Inert, identified by their respective National Stock Numbers. The contract was awarded without set-aside restrictions, allowing open competition in the federal marketplace. This IDV was established pursuant to a pre-solicitation notice posted in June 2021 by the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command, which sought proposals for multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts covering a five-year period for various detonation cord products in standard, reinforced, and inert configurations.
Under this IDV, four delivery orders have been issued totaling approximately $49.98 million in cumulative value, exceeding the original contract ceiling and indicating growth or repricing activity. The delivery orders include a $37.5 million order awarded on the same date as the IDV (September 29, 2022) for M456 detonating cord to be performed in Simsbury, Connecticut; a $5.17 million firm fixed-price order awarded August 22, 2024, for M456 Type 1 Class E cord with delivery completion by June 30, 2026; a $1.49 million order awarded August 26, 2024, for both M456 Type 1 Class M Reinforced and M458 Type 1 Class E Inert cord with completion by November 30, 2025; and a $5.8 million order awarded August 21, 2025, for detonator cords with performance in Graham, Kentucky and completion by April 30, 2027. All delivery orders are structured as firm fixed-price contracts without set-aside designations and support the broader defense infrastructure requirements of the U.S. Army.
