The Office of Naval Research awarded a $247,980 firm fixed-price purchase order to The Filtrex Corporation, a woman-owned small business, on June 6, 2013, for HEPA filter replacement services. The contract was performed in Essex, Maryland, with an ultimate completion date of August 5, 2013. No set-aside designation was used for this award. The Filtrex Corporation specializes in air filtration products and related facility services, bringing relevant expertise to support naval research operations and infrastructure maintenance.
This purchase order reflects the Navy's ongoing facility management requirements and the importance of maintaining critical air filtration systems that support research activities and operational readiness. The Filtrex Corporation's background in supplying pleated air filters and pre-filters to federal agencies, particularly the National Institutes of Health, demonstrates its capability to deliver the high-performance filtration products required by the Office of Naval Research. The firm fixed-price structure and compressed project timeline indicate this was a straightforward replacement project to address immediate facility needs.
