About this IDV
Life Support International Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of safety and survival equipment based in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract through the Air Force's Try-Decide-Buy program on August 12, 2019, with a $950 million ceiling through August 13, 2026. The primary funding agency is the Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center, a component of the Air Force Materiel Command responsible for research, development, and testing of air platforms and associated systems. The contract encompasses a broad range of commercial items intended to rapidly equip aircrew, including apparel, optical instruments and lenses, surgical appliances and supplies, textile and rubber products, leather products, and communications and aircraft auxiliary equipment. The original solicitation, issued as a total small business set-aside with a pre-solicitation notice posted on January 25, 2019, anticipated 10-12 awards and evaluated vendors based on technical capability, risk assessments related to shipping and International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) compliance, and experience within core North American Industry Classification System codes including protective apparel, communications equipment, and related manufacturing and testing services.
Four delivery orders have been issued against this master contract vehicle to date, totaling $425,795 in ceiling value, all performed at Life Support International's facility in Langhorne, Pennsylvania on a firm fixed price basis. The delivery orders address specific aircrew safety requirements, including a $162,280 order for ACES II ejection seat survival kits (awarded September 28, 2021, completed December 2021), a $262,515 delivery order for various commercial items to support Air Force requirements (awarded February 12, 2024), an IPSAFE survival kits order with $0.00 ceiling value (awarded September 28, 2023, completed December 2023), and a $1,000 total small business set-aside order for Try-Decide-Buy post-award conference services (awarded August 22, 2019). These delivery orders demonstrate the contract's utility in providing critical safety and survival equipment across multiple Air Force aircraft programs through a streamlined procurement vehicle designed to enable rapid prototyping and experimentation.
