Avon Rubber p.l.c. ("Avon" or the "Group")
Award of US JE-RDAP CBRNe framework contract
Avon Rubber p.l.c. is pleased to announce that it has received
confirmation from the US Department of Defense of the Group's
participation under the Joint Enterprise - Research, Development,
Acquisition and Production/Procurement contract vehicle
("JE-RDAP").
The JE-RDAP is an $8.2bn, 10 year multiple award framework
contract which establishes a group of qualified contractors to
compete for orders in relation to Chemical, Biological,
Radiological, Nuclear and Enhanced Conventional Weapons ("CBRNe")
Defense systems, equipment and material.
The JE-RDAP framework is important to Avon as it is the
procurement structure under which two CBRNe programmes, the M53A1
respirator and the M69 aircrew mask system will be purchased. These
programmes are potentially significant to the Group in the medium
term and, having secured participation under JE-RDAP, initial task
orders are expected to be received during the course of 2018.
Avon will make further announcements when the follow on task
orders are received.
