NTE Capacity Expansion for Surgical Mask Production

This undefinitized contract action, awarded by the Department of Defense's AFLCMC WN/LP, provides funding for the capacity expansion of surgical mask production to support the COVID-19 response priorities of the Joint Acquisition Task Force and the Department of Health and Human Services. Due to unusual and compelling urgency, the contract was not awarded competitively and was instead granted to Crosstex International, Inc. under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(2). The agreement involves a 3.5 million dollar award intended to expand the domestic production of FDA 510(k) cleared surgical masks. The primary objective of this effort is to increase the annual production capacity by at least 100 million masks to address the critical needs brought on by the pandemic. The action is categorized under NAICS code 339113 and was managed through Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
