Aviation Devices and Electronic Components LLC (CAGE 1NPE1), a small business, has been awarded a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-quantity contract under solicitation SPE7MX25R0088 for the procurement of 53 National Stock Numbers of gaskets and packing materials. The contract has a maximum ceiling value of $32,513,828.64 and is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, specifically the Weapons Support Columbus office. The agreement spans a five-year term, consisting of a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, with a final performance completion date of March 31, 2031. The award was made on a sole-source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1, as the contractor is the only approved source capable of providing the required spare parts. This justification is supported by AMSC codes C, D, P, R, and Z, which indicate that the necessary technical data is proprietary, unavailable, or uneconomical to develop for competition. Performance will take place in Fort Worth, Texas, and the items must be form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with original parts. Price reasonableness was determined using historical pricing, the Global Index, and the Producer’s Price Index.
