About this award
The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract to Gentex Corporation for the procurement of helmets and accessories, with a ceiling value of approximately $661K. The contract was awarded on August 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 15, 2026, and will be performed in Carbondale, Pennsylvania. This contract represents a continuation of Gentex's established role as a critical supplier of advanced protective equipment to the Department of Defense, leveraging the company's core competencies in helmet system design, production, and integration of associated accessories including liners, visors, chin straps, and communication components. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating open competition in the federal marketplace.
Gentex Corporation, headquartered in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, is well-positioned to execute this requirement given its extensive history supplying protective equipment to military and government agencies since 2002. The company holds multiple significant indefinite delivery vehicles with RDECOM and other defense agencies, including a $1.8 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with RDECOM for Next Generation Integrated Head Protection System (NG-IHPS) helmet systems, which provides relevant context for this procurement. Gentex's established supply chain, technical capabilities, and demonstrated performance across Defense Logistics Agency, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Special Operations Command programs position the company to meet RDECOM's helmet and accessory requirements within the contract timeline.
