Mission Ready Solutions Inc. (“
Mission Ready” or
the “
Company”) (
TSXV: MRS) is
pleased to announce that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Unifire, Inc., the Company has been awarded a total of 7 government
contracts – for personal protective equipment consisting of
disposable level 2 and level 3 isolation gowns (the
“
Products”) – with an estimated value of
$127,878,307 and a maximum value of $435,723,020 (the
“
C&T Contracts”) to be
fulfilled over a 12-month period.
As part of its COVID-19 pandemic response, the
Contracts were awarded to the Company through the United States
Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing & Textiles
(“DLA C&T” or the
“Contractor”) supply chain to facilitate the
delivery of the Products to the United States Department of Health
and Human Services (“HHS”) for the Strategic
National Stockpile (“SNS”).
Fulfillment of Delivery OrdersThe Company will
facilitate the fulfillment of delivery orders through its
established network of Berry-compliant (Made in America) product
manufacturers and vendor partners (“Suppliers”) –
The Products will ship directly from the Suppliers to HHS.
Prior to being awarded the C&T Contracts,
the Company conducted extensive due diligence to source, vet and
verify the proposed Suppliers and their respective products to
ensure full compliance with the terms of the Contracts upon award.
The Company is confident in the ability of its Suppliers to fulfill
the Contracts in accordance with the forecasted production
requirements and anticipated delivery schedules. During the
solicitation stage, the Company submitted proposals in response to
individual government solicitations
(“Solicitations”) relative to each contract that
it was awarded. Pursuant to the requirements of each Solicitation,
the Company’s proposals included detailed information related to
the Product specifications, Product availability, track-record of
the Product manufacturers, delivery timeframes, among other
criteria in support of the Company’s ability to meet the
Solicitation requirements. Upon validation of the Company’s
proposals by DLA C&T, on September 14, 2020, the Company was
awarded the C&T Contracts. The Company will commence
fulfillment of the C&T Contracts immediately upon receipt of
the initial purchase order(s) (“Delivery Orders”)
which, pursuant to the terms of the C&T Contracts, will be
submitted to the Company on or before October 8, 2020.
Value of C&T ContractsMaximum -
$435,723,020The maximum value of the Delivery Orders that may be
submitted to the Company during the 12-month term (the
“Term”) is set at $435,723,020 (the
“Contract Ceiling”).
Estimated - $127,878,307The estimated value of Delivery Orders
to be submitted to the Company during the Term is equal to
$127,878,307 (the “Estimated Value”).
For clarity, the Contract Ceiling represents the maximum value
of Delivery Orders that may be issued to the Company pursuant to
the C&T Contracts. The Estimated Value is based on the
Contractor’s estimate of the Delivery Orders to be issued to the
Company during the Term. Though the Company is prepared to
facilitate the fulfillment of Delivery Orders in quantities up to
the Contract Ceiling, there can be no assurance of the actual value
of Delivery Orders to be received by the Company during the
Term.
Gross MarginsThe gross margin on revenue generated pursuant to
the Contracts is not expected to differ materially from the
Company’s historical gross margins relative to its government
contracting operations.
Delivery TimelineAll delivery orders pursuant
to the Contracts are to be fulfilled between September 2020 and
September 2021.
Payment TermsNet 30 – The Defense Logistics
Agency will remit payment to Unifire within 30 days of delivery of
the products pursuant to each delivery order.
The Company’s ability to demonstrate adequate
capital availability to fulfill delivery orders continues to
contribute to its success in winning contracts. The Company will
utilize commercially-competitive-rate financing provided by its
existing capital partners to facilitate fulfilment of the delivery
orders.
Marcus Treiber, Chief Operating Officer of
Mission Ready, states, “We are humbled to receive these significant
awards, and honored to contribute meaningfully to the pandemic
response, helping to safeguard the lives of our fellow citizens.
Additionally, we are thrilled to be exceeding our growth
projections and delivering on our commitment to build sustainable
value for our shareholders.” Treiber continues, “Though we are
excited to continue leveraging our status as a Special Operations
Equipment Tailored Logistics Support prime vendor, Unifire
continues to demonstrate its ability to win significant awards
through unrelated avenues – these sizeable contract awards and the
recently announced FEMA award being prime examples – which really
is a testament to the vastness of the opportunities within the
world of government contracting.”
