Pip Manufacturing, Inc.

Pip Manufacturing, Inc., doing business as Honeywell Safety Products, is a manufacturer of biosafety level 4 encapsulating suits, personal protective equipment, and specialized safety products that operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) supplying the Defense Health Agency, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and other federal agencies on a full-and-open basis. Pip Manufacturing is a child entity of Protective Industrial Products, Inc., headquartered in Latham, New York, and competes across NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC 4240 (Safety and Rescue Equipment) without set-aside designations.

Pip Manufacturing's capability portfolio centers on biosafety level 4 positive pressure encapsulating suits with Tygon hosing for high-containment laboratory research and biodefense applications. Representative prime work includes a $1.4 million firm fixed-price contract with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded September 13, 2024, for BSL-4 positive pressure suits supporting Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, with a base period plus four option years running through March 31, 2029; multiple delivery orders from the Defense Health Agency totaling over $500 thousand for custom and standard encapsulating suits delivered to Frederick, Maryland and Charlotte, North Carolina between 2023 and 2026; and a $247.9 million purchase order from NIAID in January 2023 for 60 BSL-4 suits with Tygon hosing. The vendor also holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Defense Health Agency awarded September 3, 2025, with a $2.5 million ceiling extending through September 2, 2030, for positive pressure encapsulating suits. Secondary work includes fall protection and safety awareness training delivered to the United States Mint ($14.3 thousand combined across two awards, 2022–2023) and laboratory supplies to the CDC Pittsburgh facility.

Customer concentration is heavily tilted toward Defense Logistics Agency sub-offices and the Defense Health Agency. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 49% of awards, led by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (80 awards, $2 million potential value), DLA Troop Support Medical (62 awards, $2.9 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (51 awards, $813 thousand). By dollar value, GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks highest with five awards totaling $5.3 million, followed by the Defense Health Agency (12 awards, $4.9 million) and NIAID (15 awards, $3.3 million).

Activity has remained flat to modest over the past five years—four awards in 2022 and 2024–2025, seven in 2023, and three through May 2026—with combined potential value across 482 prime and sub awards of $1.26 billion and obligated dollars of $244.2 million (19% of combined potential value). Pip Manufacturing subcontracts as a supplier to Battelle National Biodefense Institute on the Department of Homeland Security's National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center FFRDC contract for BSL-4 protective suit supply, and to Triad National Security, LLC at Los Alamos National Laboratory for personal safety and protection line items.
