AirBoss Defense Group Awarded 3-Year Boot Contract Valued at up to $82.3 Million

AirBoss Defense Group (ADG), the manufacturer of survivability solutions for the assured mobility and chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN) communities, has announced that the U.S. government selected the ADG Molded AirBoss Lightweight Overboot (MALO) for its CBRN overboot program contract.

The three-year contract “is expected to be worth up to an aggregate amount of $82.3 million,” the company reported in a media release.

ADG has supplied overboots to the U.S. Military for over 20 years. The company has held the contract on this for many years and is “proud to have been again selected as the supplier of choice for this critical personal protective equipment (PPE) item for American warfighters,” said the company in a media release.

CBRN overboots are in continuous demand by the Department of Defense—the MALO design offers “superior protection against chemical and biological threats while providing optimal fit and comfort.” The MALO is the “incumbent program overboot in over sixty countries, with over 6.1 million pairs sold to date,” the company reported.

“Our company is pleased to continue providing unique protective and survivability solutions to support American warfighters,” said John Johns, President of ADG. “The MALO is a key component of CBRN protection systems procured by the Department of Defense, and we look forward to providing this protective gear to ensure the safety of our warfighters in critical mission environments and challenging conditions.”

ADG has supported the CBRN and PPE needs of the Federal Government for over two decades and continues to actively assist the Department of Defense in building a stable, secure and resilient supply chain for high-quality PPE.

ADG provides military, law enforcement, medical providers, industrial providers, and first responders with a diverse portfolio of protective equipment that spans the entire survivability spectrum. AirBoss Defense, an ADG brand, is recognized for rapid deployment, negative pressure isolation shelters, CBRNE protective equipment, medical protective equipment, and personal respiratory protective products. AirBoss Defense’s emergency response and personal protective equipment is used by the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of State, FEMA, CDC, other government agencies, and private companies.
