The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Air-Lock, Incorporated, a subsidiary of David Clark Company Incorporated, for the development and delivery of specialized spacesuit components and related hardware to support NASA's human spaceflight programs. The $6.5 million single-award IDC has an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2023. Under this IDC, NASA has issued multiple firm fixed price delivery orders to Air-Lock for items such as Orbital Crew Survival System (OCSS) suit components, Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (xEMU) connectors, Hard Upper Torso (HUT) assemblies, and large habitat structures. These awards, ranging from $201,040 to $1.67 million, provide critical life support equipment and facilities to protect astronauts and enable long-duration space exploration missions. As both a prime contractor and subcontractor, Air-Lock's expertise in manufacturing specialized aerospace hardware, including pressurized modules, valves, and quick disconnect couplings, has made it a key supplier for NASA's ongoing programs. Additionally, Air-Lock's parent company, David Clark Company Incorporated, holds several Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime for the provision of communication equipment, acoustic headsets, and other specialized products to support military logistics and readiness. These IDVs, valued up to $14 million, allow the DLA to issue multiple delivery orders for David Clark's specialized offerings, demonstrating the company's diverse capabilities in serving both civilian space exploration and defense-related government needs.
