About this IDV
Gentex Corporation was awarded a multiple-award Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) by the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) on December 21, 2018, with a ceiling value of $4.5 million. This IDV supports Phase 2 activities encompassing beta prototype delivery and design and engineering efforts related to Head-mounted User Display (HUD) systems. As a non-set-aside contract, this award reflects Gentex's competitive standing in the federal marketplace and its established capability as a prime contractor for advanced protective equipment and integrated head protection solutions. The contract leverages Gentex's core competencies in helmet system design, optical protection technologies, and integrated communication interfaces—capabilities that have positioned the company as a critical supplier across multiple defense agencies including the Defense Logistics Agency, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Special Operations Command.
The Phase 2 effort focuses on advancing prototype development and detailed design and engineering work for HUD integration within protective headgear systems, building upon prior developmental phases. This work aligns with the U.S. Army's modernization objectives for soldier equipment and situational awareness capabilities. Gentex's existing portfolio of Indefinite Delivery Vehicles—including agreements with the Naval Air Warfare Center and prior contracts for Next Generation Integrated Head Protection System (NG-IHPS) helmets—demonstrates the company's track record in delivering sophisticated protective technologies and research and development services to the Department of Defense. The $4.5 million ceiling provides the government with flexibility to issue task orders for continued prototype refinement, engineering support, and technical demonstrations throughout the contract period.
