About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement was awarded to Gentex Corporation on July 21, 2008, for the supply of HGU-56/P rotary-wing aviator helmets through the General Services Administration's Federal Supply Schedule program. The BPA established a ceiling value of $482,664.00 with an ultimate completion date of July 20, 2010, operating under a multiple award structure with no small business set-aside. Gentex Corporation, a Pennsylvania-based manufacturer of advanced protective equipment, was selected based on its established capabilities in designing and producing sophisticated helmet systems and associated accessories for military aviation applications. The rotary-wing aviator helmet represents a critical piece of personal protective equipment for Army aviation personnel, integrating communication interfaces, ballistic protection, and specialized optical systems required for helicopter operations.
The executed task order under this BPA, dated November 24, 2008, demonstrates the operational application of the agreement through a delivery order valued at $6,435.52 with firm fixed pricing. This task order required delivery of helmets to support aircrew personnel stationed at Houston, Texas, specifically for individuals enrolling in the flight mechanic syllabus and current operational aircrew members. The task order emphasized the administrative requirement for contracting officials to maintain a roster of personnel names corresponding to helmet issuances, reflecting the individual nature of these protective equipment allocations. The rapid execution of this task order—approximately four months following BPA award—underscores the practical utility of the blanket purchase agreement mechanism in meeting immediate Defense Logistics Agency requirements for rotary-wing aviation helmet systems.
