Gentex Corp

Gentex Corp Gentex Corporation-Mht Division manufactures specialized protective equipment and communication components for the U.S. federal government, operating as a Manchester, New Hampshire-based subsidiary of Gentex Corporation (Carbondale, Pennsylvania) and competing as a prime contractor without set-aside designations across full-and-open procurement channels. The division holds a 100 percent prime contracting footprint—792 of 795 total awards—with three minor subcontract engagements, reflecting its position as an integrated manufacturer rather than a systems integrator or teaming partner.

Gentex Corporation-Mht's capability portfolio centers on microphone adapters, microphone booms, capacitive microphones, cable assemblies, mask light assemblies, light assemblies, communication interface units, headset assemblies, bracket components, and electronic test sets. These products serve military audio, aviation, and protective systems applications. Representative recent prime work includes a $274,431.60 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard (June 2026) for headset electrical components performing through November 2027; a $248,826.66 purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (February 2026) for 167 mask light assemblies (NSN 6220016201410) delivering to DLA Distribution San Joaquin; a $1,253,450.00 purchase order from DLA Troop Support (November 2024) for 250 NRP Argonaut Boom H equipment units performing at the Manchester facility through December 2025; and a $217,722.33 firm fixed-price delivery order from DLA Aviation (November 2024) for communication interface units under a $1,995,707.76 single-award IDV extending through August 2026.

Customer concentration is highly fragmented across DLA's four operating divisions and the Coast Guard. The top five customers by award count account for 85 percent of recent awards but split across distinct product lines: DLA Land and Maritime leads in order volume (261 awards, $9.7 million potential value), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment anchors the dollar value ($14.1 million across 88 awards), DLA Aviation holds 184 awards valued at $13.3 million, and the Coast Guard accounts for 127 awards and $11.8 million. The two rankings align—Troop Support and Aviation dominate both volume and dollars—but Land and Maritime's high order count reflects recurring small-value delivery orders against the $1.2 million microphone adapter IDV rather than larger discrete procurements.

Gentex Corporation-Mht seats on five named parent vehicles, all single-award IDCs with DLA. The $1,204,284.00 DLA Land and Maritime IDV for microphone adapters and booms (running through October 2028) generates frequent delivery orders; the $1,995,707.76 DLA Aviation IDV for communication interface units (through August 2026) has placed multiple orders including the recent $217.7 million delivery order; a $250,000 DLA Aviation cable assembly IDC (awarded October 2024, running through October 2025) and its predecessor $250,000 vehicle (expired February 2023) show recurrence in the aviation cable procurement line. IDC 70Z04020D57250B00 carries 12 task orders and $4.0 million in combined value, and SPE4A614D0167 carries 11 task orders and $387 thousand. All IDCs are non-set-aside and reflect the division's established vendor status with DLA across multiple supply categories.

Activity has remained steady but compressed in recent years. The five-year trend shows 49 awards in 2022, declining to 28 in 2023, rising to 58 in 2024, then moderating to 42 in 2025 and 8 awards through June 2026. Only five awards (combined potential value $643 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in the near term. The three subcontract awards on file are minor: components for the F-16 Scorpion Helmet (Orbital-Based Inertial Tracker) delivered to Thales Defense & Security Inc. (May 2024) and Day Visor Assembly parts to the same prime (October 2025 and January 2026), representing less than one percent of the portfolio.

Gentex Corporation-Mht's capability framing derives entirely from the named work rather than vendor claims. Award descriptions consistently reference NAICS 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), NAICS 335999 (Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment Manufacturing), and product service codes covering headsets and microphones (PSC 59-P and 62-P). The vendor holds no government-wide acquisition contracts, GSA schedules, or published IDIQs; all vehicles are single-award DLA contracts. The division maintains firm fixed-price pricing across all awards and competes in unset-aside full-and-open procurements, indicating stable, competitive-win positioning with the Defense Logistics Agency and Coast Guard rather than growth through special designation or vehicle concentration.
