The contract, identified as SPE1C1-24-C-0016, was awarded to Vinyl Technology for a fixed quantity of 140 units requiring Engineering Source Approval from Robbins Air Force Base. The suits must be manufactured according to specific specifications, including HSW AT AGS-OO Rev. D and 40470G-01KX-0 Rev. B, with strict adherence to applicable drawings.

There is no specific set-aside designation for this contract, which suggests it is open to all qualified contractors. The modification to the original contract will add specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for each suit size, facilitating inventory management and procurement tracking. The contract is clearly focused on supporting military aviation personnel with high-performance protective equipment, emphasizing precision manufacturing and strict quality control standards.
