Indefinite Delivery Contract W912CH25D0029

Butler Parachute Systems, Inc., a Hispanic American-owned small business based in Roanoke, Virginia, was awarded a five-year, firm-fixed-price, multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by Air Mobility Command (ACC) Warren effective April 23, 2025, with a ceiling value of $276.9 million and ultimate completion date of March 24, 2030. The contract is set aside for total small business and covers the procurement of G-16 cargo parachutes and spare parts. The originating solicitation, initiated by Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal in April 2023, represented early market research to identify qualified sources capable of producing 16 National Stock Number items within the G-16 cargo parachute and supplies family, with responses due by May 2023. G-16 cargo parachutes are critical components in military logistics operations, enabling the safe delivery of supplies and equipment via air transport across Department of Defense operations and training exercises.

Under this IDIQ contract, task orders are issued by authorized government entities to procure specific quantities of G-16 cargo parachutes and associated components as needed. One notable delivery order issued against this contract was awarded to Butler Parachute Systems by the U.S. Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command on April 23, 2025, valued at $8.85 million with an ultimate completion date of October 16, 2026, performed at the contractor's Roanoke, Virginia facility. The multiple-award structure of the IDIQ allows various military commands and federal agencies to issue task orders for specialized aerial delivery systems and components, including personnel parachute harnesses, oxygen kits, cargo deployment bags, and ground training units, establishing Butler Parachute Systems as a strategic supplier of critical aerial delivery equipment across the Department of Defense.
