The U.S. Army Central Command awarded a $96,231 firm fixed-price purchase order to Astrea General Trading, a Dubai-based supplier, on September 30, 2025, for the procurement of industrial hygiene exposure monitoring equipment supporting the Army Support Group-Kuwait. The contract fulfills solicitation W912D125QA011, which sought specialized scientific monitoring equipment including color LED light meters, noise dosimeter kits, air sampling pump calibrator kits, indoor air quality meters, digital laser range finders, asbestos bulk sampler kits, protective coveralls, datalogging thermal anemometers, air flow capture hoods, and photoionization detector kits. This equipment is essential for verifying occupational and environmental health hazards in compliance with OSHA regulations and Department of Defense occupational safety and environmental health requirements applicable to military personnel and DOD civilians stationed in Kuwait.
The contract is not designated under a small business set-aside, allowing Astrea General Trading to compete in an open market procurement. Ultimate delivery is required by December 31, 2025, with initial shipment to Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina before final transportation to APO AE 09366 in Kuwait. Astrea General Trading brings significant experience supporting U.S. Department of Defense operations throughout the Middle East region and maintains two substantial Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with the Air Force Central Command valued at approximately $6.5 million, covering infrastructure and construction services as well as office furniture and equipment procurement across military installations in the region.
