Moldex-Metric, Inc.

Moldex-Metric, Inc., doing business as Moldex Metric Inc., manufactures and supplies respiratory protection masks, hearing protection plugs and earplugs, and related personal protective equipment to the federal government as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) competing in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-asides. The Culver City, California-based for-profit manufacturer has generated $143.4 million in combined potential value across 360 awards since 2002, with $92.3 million obligated to date.

Moldex-Metric's federal customer base is deeply concentrated in the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical, which accounts for 186 awards totaling $225 thousand in combined potential value and represents 67% of all recent awards by count. The top-five customers by award count are DLA Troop Support Medical (186 awards), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (34 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration (8 awards), the Department of the Army Materiel Command (8 awards), and the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (6 awards). By potential value, however, the concentration shifts dramatically: the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response leads with $51.3 million across 2 awards (pandemic-era supply contracts), followed by the GSA Federal Acquisition Service at $46.9 million across 5 awards, HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration at $9 million, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick at $3.7 million. The gap between these two rankings reflects Moldex-Metric's dual footprint: frequent small purchase orders from DLA for routine medical supply needs, offset by high-value pandemic-related contracts and GSA vehicle work for civilian and defense agencies.

Moldex-Metric holds a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (effective March 27, 2024, through March 26, 2029, with a $475 thousand ceiling) covering Special Item Numbers 339112 (breathing air equipment, inhalator devices, and respiratory protection products) and 339920 (hearing protection devices). The GSA schedule has generated 117 task orders totaling $19 million in combined potential value since award. Recent representative prime work includes a $61.9 thousand delivery order from the Indian Health Service in August 2021 for COVID-19 emergency procurement of N95 respirator masks under the GSA schedule, a $4,089.49 delivery order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment in June 2025 for air filtering masks, and recurring purchase orders from DLA Troop Support Medical ranging from $200 to $6,722 for earplugs, ear plug tips, and respirator masks. The source references prior pandemic-related work including a $3.7 million delivery order from the Department of Veterans Affairs for N95 respirators and a $49.9 million contract from the Department of Health and Human Services for over 38 million NIOSH-approved respirators, as well as a $20.1 million award from the Air Force to increase N95 respirator production capacity.

Activity has declined year over year — 41 awards in 2022 declining to 8 awards in 2026 through April — reflecting a post-pandemic normalization of procurement patterns. Federal category concentration is acute: Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (240 awards) and All Other Rubber Product Manufacturing (81 awards) account for 321 of 360 total awards. By PSC code, Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (214 awards) and Safety and Rescue Equipment (115 awards) comprise 329 of 360 awards. Moldex-Metric subcontracts as a medical and surgical equipment supplier to Cardinal Health 200, LLC on six sub-awards (TRBO Region 1 medical/surgical equipment or supplies), with the most recent sub-award in October 2025. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements; no small business set-asides appear across the prime footprint.
