Purchase Order SPE8E522P0713

This federal contract award to Gentex Corporation, a manufacturer of protective gear solutions, was issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Construction and Equipment. The $101,437.20 firm fixed-price purchase order is for the delivery of microphone adapters, capacitor microphones, microphone booms, electronic test sets, cable assemblies, interface units, aviation modification kits, and other audio equipment in support of military logistics, aviation, and combat operations. This appears to be a standalone contract award, as no set-aside designation is noted. Gentex has previously received other indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) from DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Aviation, and the U.S. Coast Guard for the provision of communication parts, systems, and related equipment over multi-year periods. The parent company, Gentex Corporation, has a history of supplying protective gear solutions such as flight helmets, ballistic helmets, and dual visor assemblies to various Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security agencies.
