About this IDV
Essex Industries, Inc., operating through its Essex Industries Division and doing business as The Respiratory Group, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $250,000 by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on March 11, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of March 10, 2026. This Total Small Business set-aside contract is designated for the procurement of training unit soft goods, which are specialized textile and non-rigid components used in emergency response and military training applications. The contract is performed in Affton, Missouri, and represents Essex Industries' established capability as a manufacturer of aerospace and defense products with particular expertise in emergency breathing equipment, respiratory protection systems, and associated training materials. The firm fixed-price contract structure provides DLA Aviation with flexible ordering capability to procure critical training equipment required for military readiness and sustainment operations.
Under this Indefinite Delivery Contract, Essex Industries has fulfilled nine delivery orders between March 2021 and September 2025, with individual task order values ranging from $10,639.20 to $24,029.55, reflecting consistent demand for training unit soft goods across the contract performance period. All delivery orders have been issued on an unrestricted basis without additional set-aside designations, indicating broad utilization of the contract for DLA Aviation's operational requirements. The recurring nature of these orders—typically awarded every three to six months with completion periods of 30 to 60 days—demonstrates the contract's role in supporting ongoing military training and equipment maintenance programs. This contract complements Essex Industries' broader portfolio of Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation, which collectively provide emergency rescue units, emergency medical equipment, and training materials valued at approximately $50 million through 2027, positioning the contractor as a strategic supplier for defense logistics and aviation sustainment initiatives.
