The Naval Supply Systems Command awarded a $534,152.30 firm fixed-price purchase order to ECI Defense Group, Inc., a small business defense contractor headquartered in Lawrenceville, Georgia, for the procurement of oxygen regulators. The contract, awarded on August 27, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 22, 2027, originated from a Defense Logistics Agency Aviation solicitation posted in May 2025 seeking 22 oxygen regulators for aircraft air conditioning, heating, and pressurizing equipment. The solicitation was issued under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities procedures, indicating urgency in the procurement, and required compliance with ISO 9001 quality standards and Buy American regulations. This award carries no set-aside designation, meaning it was competed among all qualified contractors.
ECI Defense Group demonstrated its qualifications for this critical safety equipment procurement through its nearly two-decade track record supplying specialized military components to the Department of Defense and its agencies. The company has extensive experience delivering oxygen regulators and related aerospace and maritime equipment, with prior awards for similar products valued at over $600,000. The firm currently maintains four active Indefinite Delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency for various military components and operates as both a prime contractor and subcontractor within the defense industrial base, supporting military logistics and maintenance programs across aviation, maritime, and ground vehicle sectors.
