Oxygen Mask Consolidation Memo Redacted.pdf

This is a Consolidation Determination and Findings document for a federal contract opportunity issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support.

The solicitation consolidates procurement of three related National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for Gentex Oxygen Mask components: the Mask Light Assembly (NSN 6220-01-620-1410), External Assembly (NSN 6220-01-621-4540), and Internal Assembly (NSN 6220-01-620-1407). The acquisition will be conducted as a single award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) long-term contract (LTC) with a firm-fixed, five-year base period and three one-year option periods. The contract value is estimated between $10 million and $100 million. Gentex Corporation is the only approved source for these items, having been validated through a J&A (Justification and Authorization) approved by the Competition Advocate's Office on January 8, 2026. A Sources Sought Notice was published on SAM.gov on August 6, 2025, for 30 days.

The document evaluates three contracting approaches: (1) Individual one-time large procurements annually; (2) Separate LTCs for each NSN; and (3) the proposed single consolidated LTC. The consolidation analysis demonstrates that the single award LTC approach provides substantial cost savings exceeding 10% of estimated contract value compared to alternative approaches, reduces administrative lead times, enables more efficient production planning and material forecasting, and eliminates duplicative pre-award and post-award processing. The consolidation requires fewer government personnel for acquisition management and is justified under FAR 2.101 and RFO 7.107-2. The determination was signed by William J. Kenny, Executive Director of Troop Support Contracting and Acquisition Management, on July 8, 2020.
