Parkdale Advanced Materials, Inc.

Parkdale Advanced Materials, Inc., doing business as Parkdale Advanced Materials Inc., is a corporate entity registered to receive federal contract awards since April 2020. The company specializes in manufacturing personal protective equipment (PPE) and textiles, particularly face masks and reusable gowns, for various federal agencies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Parkdale Advanced Materials operates from its facility in Gastonia, North Carolina, leveraging its capabilities to support domestic production of critical medical supplies.

The company has been awarded numerous federal contracts, primarily from defense and civilian agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response awarded Parkdale a $187.36 million contract in February 2024 to expand domestic manufacturing capacity for man-made fibers used in PPE. Previously, the same agency contracted Parkdale for $55.25 million to produce cloth face coverings. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support issued multiple delivery orders to Parkdale for aseptic face masks, with individual orders ranging from $92,650 to $6.42 million. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) also engaged Parkdale's services, awarding a $532.2 million order for 60 million reusable gowns and an $11.25 million order for 7.5 million masks. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security placed an $88,714.50 order for cloth masks. These contracts were consistently designated under the National Interest Action Code for Coronavirus COVID-19, highlighting Parkdale's role in pandemic response efforts.

Parkdale Advanced Materials holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs). The first, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, is a single-award IDV with a ceiling value of $20.5 million for the delivery of aseptic face masks. Under this vehicle, seven firm-fixed-price delivery orders were issued between March and September 2021, totaling over $27 million. The second IDV, awarded by FEMA, has a potential value of $543.15 million for providing reusable gowns in support of the COVID-19 emergency declaration. This single-award IDV resulted in two major delivery orders: one for $11.25 million for masks and another for $532.16 million for reusable gowns. Both IDVs were utilized to rapidly procure essential PPE for federal agencies responding to the pandemic, demonstrating Parkdale's capacity to fulfill large-scale orders for critical medical supplies.
