Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C120D1290

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Hu-Friedy Mfg. Co., LLC as the prime contractor. Two firm fixed price delivery orders totaling $924,030 were issued to procure approximately 923,940 American Dental brand surgical masks. The masks will be provided from Hu-Friedy's Chicago, Illinois facility by January 2021 under the first order of $473,940, and by September 2020 pursuant to the second order valued at $450,090. Both delivery orders cite the Coronavirus COVID-19 national interest and aim to increase the stockpile of personal protective equipment for Department of Defense personnel in response to the pandemic. No set-asides or major subcontractors are associated with the orders awarded without competition by the Agency, which supports the armed forces by providing essential supplies during national emergencies.

The indefinite delivery contract establishes Hu-Friedy Mfg. Co., LLC as a prime contractor eligible to receive follow-on orders to address the Defense Logistics Agency's requirements for surgical masks and other textile products. The initial two delivery orders indicate that additional quantities of American Dental brand masks may be ordered through January 2022 to sustain military and frontline personnel as the COVID-19 response continues. The contract structure provides flexibility to procure needed supplies while leveraging Hu-Friedy's domestic manufacturing capabilities and past experience serving the Agency's clothing and textiles demands.
