About the company
Gentex Corporation, a Carbondale, Pennsylvania-based manufacturer of military protective helmets, optical systems, and associated equipment, operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal procurements, with 100% of recent awards as prime contracts across defense agencies. The company competes without set-aside restrictions in the commercial competitive marketplace.
Gentex manufactures specialized protective equipment spanning flight helmets (HGU-56/P, flyer's helmets), ballistic helmets (FTHS systems, lightweight variants, ground troop helmets), integrated head protection systems, helmet components (liners, visors, chin straps, retention assemblies, shock absorbing linings, earcups, maxillofacial shields), communication interfaces, and optical protection equipment. Representative work includes a $129.137 million single-award IDIQ from the Marine Corps (awarded April 2026, through April 2031) for integrated helmet system parts and materials; a $44.756 million single-award IDIQ from Army PEO Soldier (awarded May 2026, through May 2031) for flyer helmets and spares in support of Air Warrior; a $27.198 million delivery order from Defense Logistics Agency Clothing and Textiles (June 2026) for ground troop helmets under the NG-IHPS parent; and a $6.617 million delivery order from DLA Clothing and Textiles (October 2025) for advanced communication helmets.
Customer concentration is extreme. The top five funding agencies account for 58% of recent awards by count and 30% by combined potential value. DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles dominates both rankings—2,075 awards carrying $1.31 billion combined potential value. Army PEO Soldier anchors most of the dollar value (36 awards, $981.3 million combined potential). Marine Corps (137 awards, $384.3 million) and SOCOM (253 awards, $244.7 million) round out the major customers. The Air Force (262 awards, $956 thousand combined) and Naval Air Warfare Center (38 awards, $75.4 million) complete the active set. DLA Clothing and Textiles and Army PEO Soldier are the recompete flashpoints: the vendor faces $193.5 million in combined potential value from awards completing in the next twenty-four months.
Gentex holds multiple parent vehicles. The top five task-order IDIQs account for 1,557 task orders: Law Enforcement & Security Services (620 task orders, $14 million combined potential value); Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C114D1078 (273 task orders, $43.5 million); Indefinite Delivery Contract H9240319D0003 (248 task orders, $55.6 million); Indefinite Delivery Contract SP010006D4151 (240 task orders, $27 million); and Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM1C113D1008 (176 task orders, $24.8 million). Gentex also holds GSA Multiple Award Schedule positions and single-award BPAs with DLA Aviation ($350 thousand ceiling, five-year term through November 2030) and DLA Land and Maritime ($350 thousand ceiling, through February 2027) for cable assemblies and retaining straps respectively.
Activity has been sustained: 249 awards in 2024, 217 in 2025, and 144 through mid-September 2026 year-to-date. Over 5,140 total awards span 125 customer agencies, with $10.07 billion in combined potential value; $1.53 billion (15%) has been obligated. The vendor's award portfolio is dominated by purchase orders and delivery orders under parent IDIQs rather than large master contracts—breadth over concentration at the customer level masks deep, narrow exposure to DLA and Army streams.
Gentex subcontracts minimally. Identified sub work includes personal protective equipment supply to Booz Allen Hamilton on EDITS (Engineering Development Integration and Technology-Based Solutions); F-35 Helmet Mounted Display System visor and ballistics testing to Rockwell Collins under NADHYA/HMDS; Apache support materials to Defense Systems and Solutions under ASPI; and research and development collaboration with TDA Research on laser eye protection lens development. These four named primes anchor a sub footprint of 22 awards—negligible compared to the prime portfolio.
Named subsidiaries include Intersense LLC, Interactive Safety Products Inc., and two entities named Gentex Corp. The corporate structure signals capability in optical systems (Intersense) and specialized protective products (Interactive Safety Products) beyond core helmet manufacturing, though award history does not separately itemize work by subsidiary.
Gentex competes on technical merit and pricing across all PSC categories tied to protective equipment: Specialized Flight Clothing and Accessories (1,949 awards), Clothing, Special Purpose (1,124), Individual Equipment (392), Armor, Personal (277), and Safety and Rescue Equipment (184). NAICS concentration aligns: Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (756 awards), Other Apparel Accessories (702), and All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (607) dominate the vendor's volume.
