Mission Ready Awarded US DLA Contract Valued at up to $200 Million

  • Contract Description: Indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (“IDIQ“) contract to facilitate the delivery of products through the Company’s vendor network in support of the United States Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA“) Troop Support Clothing & Textiles (“C&T“) supply chain
  • Contract Value: Up to USD $200,000,000 (the “Ceiling“)
  • Product Description: Commercial off-the-shelf (“COTS“) Shelter Systems
  • Performance Period: Initial 1-year base ordering period (Dec. 2/21 through Dec. 1/22) and three 1-year option periods (the “Term“)

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA – DECEMBER 3, 2021 – Mission Ready Solutions Inc (“Mission Ready” or the “Company“) (TSX-V: MRS) (OTCQX: MSNVF), a provider of comprehensive government contracting solutions, is pleased to announce that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unifire, Inc. (“Unifire“), the Company has been awarded a contract for COTS – Shelter Systems (SPE1C1-22-D-1506) (the “COTS Contract“) in support of the DLA C&T supply chain, with a Ceiling of USD $200,000,000 (CAD $256,000,000 using a USD-CAD exchange rate of 1.28) over the Term of the Contract.

“We proudly welcome this contract award and the opportunity to provide additional support to the DLA in their efforts to source quality items,” said Skip Church, President of Unifire. “This contract reinforces Unifire’s ability to respond to the demand and to bid accordingly while highlighting our robust network of product manufacturers and vendor partners.”

“The team at Unifire has put a tremendous amount of time and energy into this solicitation, having been in active discussions since May 2020, and we are extremely pleased to see their efforts coming to fruition,” said Buck Marshall, President and CEO of Mission Ready. “As we continue to advance, we are confident that our vision and ambitious strategy will successfully position the Company for growth and allow us to further build shareholder value that will reflect in the coming quarters.”

 

DLA COTS – Shelter Systems Program (the “Program”)

 The COTS – Shelter Systems program is a multiple-award, prime vendor contract, that is structured to accommodate the addition of products through the life of the contract. The Program’s supply chain, at present, offers military tents, parts, and support equipment.

 

COTS Contract Terms

The IDIQ contract – with an initial 1-year base ordering period and three 1-year option periods – calls for the supply of COTS – Shelter Systems in support of the United States DLA Troop Support Clothing & Textiles supply chain, and specifies a maximum dollar value of USD $200,000,000.

 

The COTS Contract follows the Company’s May 2, 2020 response to Solicitation number: SPE1C1-18-R-0003.

 

IDIQ Contracts

In U.S. Federal government contracting, an IDIQ is a type of contract that provides for an indefinite quantity of supplies or services during a fixed period of time. IDIQ’s are also sometimes called “Task Orders” or “Delivery Order Contracts.”

 

Gross Margins, Anticipated Revenue and Accounting Treatment

Pursuant to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), revenues generated through the COTS Contract, as applicable, will not be finalized until the transaction relative to each purchase order has been completed. Consequently, revenues may be reported on a gross or net basis and some portion(s) may be deferred to future accounting periods. The gross margin on revenues generated pursuant to the COTS Contract is not expected to differ materially from the Company’s historical gross margins relative to its government contracting operations.

 

Due to the nature of IDIQ contracts generally, the Company is unable to estimate with any degree of certainty, the frequency, volume or value of purchase orders (also referred to as delivery orders) it may or may not receive in relation to the COTS Contract during the initial 1-year term or any extension thereof.

Mission Ready Newsletter | November 2021 Infrastructure Package and Order of Operations

Fellow Shareholders,

Late Friday evening, U.S. Congress passed a bill containing an infrastructure package with $1.2 trillion to be injected into America’s infrastructure.

But how does this affect your Company? The bipartisan infrastructure package includes, notably, a version of the “Make PPE in America Act” co-sponsored by Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) and Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), to help rebuild a domestic supply chain for PPE production and reshore an industrial base of US PPE manufacturers by guaranteeing long-term federal contracts and expanding Berry Amendment requirements for agencies including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Health and Human Services (HHS) and Veterans Affairs (V.A.).

The successful passage of the infrastructure package, scheduled to be signed into law in the coming days, also represents a critical step in our nation’s plan to replenish the Strategic National Stockpile by incentivizing our industrial base to create a robust domestic supply chain, fostering long-term investments to expand existing capabilities and maximize capacities knowing that the government will support those investments in its efforts to reinforce the importance of U.S. Made PPE.

The Company is also confident that through more than $500 billion of new investments in infrastructures, including roads, bridges, water, and energy systems, our demonstrated ability to source and deliver products needed when needed, and our host of government contracting vehicles, including our GSA Schedules with critical schedules such 51V: Hardware Store, Home Improvement Center, or Maintenance, Repairs and Operations (MRO), will enable the Company to position itself favorably as a core provider of products and solutions to support the government and its blueprint to rebuilding America.

Friday also marked the announcement of another important step in the Company’s financial progress, through the negotiation of a debt settlement for liabilities previously accrued pending the outcome of this claim and included as part of the Company’s balance sheet. The team successfully negotiated terms that will allow Unifire to repay the principal amount while minimizing the impact on our cash flow and liquidity and, importantly, retain our ability to invest in the future growth of our operations. In simple terms, amortizing the outstanding principal over 60 months with a maturity of 24 months results in a reasonable monthly payment while allowing us to continue improving our working capital and liquidity ratios. We have structured the arrangement to effectively align the collective interests of the Creditors, the Company and our shareholders by ensuring that the financial prosperity of the Company is accretive to all parties in that the Creditor receives payment as agreed during the term, and the Company and its shareholders receive the economic benefit of moving a portion of short-term payables to long-term, while mitigating the need to issue Company shares in connection with the arrangement.

Though it is not our intention or expectation that any portion of the debt settlement amount be paid in shares of the Company, the equity-based security component serves to provide economic value to both the Creditor and Company by introducing a predetermined and mutually agreeable remedial arrangement in the event of a payment default by the Company.

This last year saw us make great strides in building a financially viable and cash flow positive company, making forward progress by significantly reducing liabilities, building solid relationships with our vendors and partners, and allowing us to secure favorable terms, achievements that result in a foundational fortitude to weather storms and help positively position us for what is coming.

While our primary focus remains Government contracts domestically, we have expanded our ability to generate revenues through non-government agencies, mainly commercial customers and we are actively working on bringing the core products we manufacture in-house, as well as the numerous items through our vendor network, to the retail market. This is another step in our vision to build the foundation on principals of business, diversified revenue streams, and a culture that moves Mission Ready forward. I referenced order of operations when sharing the vision for the Company during my first few months, and each step we take in the correct order will build shareholder value, but it takes time. I am grateful for those who have been with the Company for the long haul, and I am excited as we continue to forge new relationships with both retail and institutional investors.

Sincerely,

(Signed “Buck L. Marshall”)

Buck L. Marshall
President, CEO and Director

Mission Ready Newsletter | October 2021 Corporate Overview and Discussion on Growth Opportunities

Fellow Shareholders,

October marks the beginning of the new fiscal year for the US Government. And with this new year come many questions surrounding the budget and an opportunity to provide a corporate overview and discuss growth and strategy.

Mission Ready’s goal is to provide turnkey solutions to the United States Government in response to the challenges they face. Accordingly, we have supported law enforcement, military, government, and other agencies throughout the years by manufacturing and sourcing various products and services needed to accomplish their duty, including Personal Protective Equipment. More recently, as part of our commitment to provide solutions, we have successfully provided PPE to the Defense Logistics Agency in their initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to assist in the efforts to respond to this evolving situation and have reiterated our strategic commitment to provide critical supplies and solutions through the recent announcement of a $3.8 million order placed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) using Unifire’s GSA schedules. Importantly, we have validated our contracting infrastructures and showcased our ability to rapidly source and offer an extensive inventory of quality products, including disaster response.

Our position as an industry leader has led our team to increase engagement with various government bodies and agencies in planning activities where officials and key industry players joined to create a dialogue on needs and opportunities. Being engaged with decision-makers on the frontside of innovation allows us to see the potential for growth and identify three major areas of potential; Cybersecurity, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (“CBRN”), and Information Technology. As a result, we have been proactive in allocating additional resources that will help us capitalize on those verticals encompassing R&D funding, large contracts, and sales & services opportunities they represent. 

Protect The Force, and Unifire Inc continue to be engaged in DHS R&D-funded efforts in order to advance first responders technologies. Both companies have submitted white papers, which have materialized in invitations to provide full proposals for potential 2022 funding.

We had anticipated that the government would increase its spending by the end of the fiscal year to leverage its 2021 budget. Though this was not the case during the 2021 fiscal year, the government’s capacity to allocate significant resources to the space in which we operate remains strong, and several vehicles exist that would allow the government to spend with limited time constraints. We are confident that Unifire GSA schedules, recent Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), coupled with our demonstrated ability to provide the government with the products they need when they need them, will be significant factors in our continued success.

We have worked diligently on realigning our financial resources while bolstering our human resources by notably strengthening our sales team, who has worked tirelessly on submissions currently in various stages of the solicitation process while actively onboarding new vendors and reinforcing existing relationships that are the keystone to our success and help us retain our favorable positioning as an industry leader. As recently evidenced by the Department of Homeland Security, we have focused on generating sales through our reinvigorated efforts related to our GSA Schedules and continue to receive a sustained flow of orders that maintains our cash positive position.

The positioning of Advanced Tech Rescue has also allowed us to allocate resources to better represent our legacy products, where Unifire has worked since 1987 to set the standard in critical life-saving products and enhance our sales efforts to advance opportunities for high-performance rescue equipment that have undergone thousands of hours of real-life emergency situations while maintaining their durability and resilience.

Even as Government spending is off pace with our expectations, we have been active in mitigating the lull in awards by increasing our manufacturing capabilities through investment in equipment that will improve our processes and efficiencies and open up the door to new revenue opportunities. And with global supply issues being discussed worldwide, we have positioned ourselves favorably, obtaining payment terms from key vendors and suppliers to ensure our ability to meet anticipated demand. We have also been proactive in securing Berry compliant and 510(k) certified suppliers to meet the highest standards of future contracting opportunities.

While our focus remains on protecting those who protect us by providing our country with the products and services they need, we continue actively working with our partners to explore opportunities and use those relationships as a force multiplier.

Internally, our team of innovators and experts – whose depth of knowledge and industry relationships have successfully materialized in groundbreaking solutions, patented innovations, and ongoing discussions with advanced technology pioneers – are committed to proactively championing Unifire’s catalog of disruptive solutions to all levels of the US Government.

Our Board of Directors and Advisory Committee are comprised of leaders and luminaries in their respective fields, who have not only inspired changes across the military, law enforcement, fire and rescue, banking, and apparel industries but have also given rise to new opportunities that are well within our colloquial ‘wheelhouse’ as a comprehensive government solutions provider.

Finally, our team continues to be committed to building shareholder value through ongoing discussions with institutional groups and communications initiatives that will help Mission Ready support and inform its shareholder base while bringing awareness to the story you all came to know, but that remains largely untold.

 

Sincerely,

Buck Marshall

Mission Ready Announces US$3.8 Million Purchase Order from United States Department of Homeland Security

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA – SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 – Mission Ready Solutions Inc (“Mission Ready“) (TSX-V: MRS) (OTCQX: MSNVF), a provider of comprehensive government contracting solutions, today announced that it had received, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unifire, Inc. (“Unifire“), a US$3,800,000 (C$4,800,000 at USD-CAD exchange rate of 1.27) purchase order (the “Purchase Order“) through the United States General Services Administration (GSA) to supply personal protective equipment for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of the Chief Readiness Support Officer (OCRSO).

Following a successful solicitation response submitted by the Company (one of numerous current submissions in various stages of the solicitation process), the Purchase Order calls for the delivery of surgical masks (the “Product“) to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as part of the US Governments COVID-19 pandemic response.

The Company will facilitate the Purchase Order fulfillment within the 60-day performance period through its partner, Altor Safety, who will ship the Product directly to the government agencies. Delivery of the Product is scheduled to commence immediately and be completed no later than November 27, 2021.

“This order is an excellent example of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes,” said Buck Marshall, President and CEO of Mission Ready. “Unifire’s team has worked diligently over the past year to strengthen our vendor network and position the Company in a way that responds to the needs of our customers.  The often-overlooked hours of work put in by our front-line support team to enhance our relationships and provide value add is the keystone to our success.”

“Unifire strength lies in its relationships; Our ability to promote vendors’ products and services and our relationships with the customers to which we provide our solutions,” said Skip Church, President of Unifire. “The past performance on large contracts, the continued flow of orders, and our capacity to be on-time and in good standing is the foundational trust Unifire strives to build with its vendors and customers.”

The US GAAP treatment for the anticipated revenue from the purchase order will not be finalized until the order transactions have been completed. Consequently, the revenue may be reported on a gross or net basis and some portion may be deferred to future accounting periods.

Mission Ready Solutions Announces Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Award for Support of Afghan Refugees and Extension of Cold Weather BPA

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA – SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 – Mission Ready Solutions Inc. (“Mission Ready” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: MRS) (OTCQX: MSNVF), a provider of comprehensive government contracting solutions, proudly announces that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unifire, Inc., (“Unifire”) the Company has been awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (the “BPA”) by the United States Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textile Supply Chain (the “DLA”) as part of the agency’s response to support Afghan refugees.

Along with one other awardee, the Company will provide the DLA with commercial commodities used for housing, including blankets, pillows, sheets, and sets of those items for an initial total of 6 Contract Line Item Numbers (each one, a “CLIN”) with a maximum quantity of 99,999 for each CLIN, with the potential for additional CLIN to be added in the future. The BPA is for a duration of 1 year, renewable yearly within 30 days of the expiry.

The Company will facilitate the fulfillment of delivery orders primarily through its established network of Berry-compliant (Made in America) product manufacturers and vendor partners.

In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that the DLA has awarded, to Unifire, a 3-year extension to a previously-awarded Blanket Purchase Agreement for the procurement and supply of cold weather equipment (the “Cold Weather BPA”) Initially awarded to Unifire in 2019, the 2-year, USD $4,601,364 Cold Weather BPA has now been extended through April 17, 2024.

“Following the successful delivery of all PPE orders in support of the DLA’s response to COVID-19, the Afghan Support BPA further validates our contracting infrastructure and demonstrates Unifire capabilities as a provider of government solutions, including disaster response,” said Skip Church, President of Unifire. “We are actively working on supplementing the items under both BPA’s and maximizing our potential to earn new revenues.”

“Unifire’s proven history of quality items delivery, extensive product inventory, and capacity at rapidly sourcing needed items with our robust vendor relations continue to make us stand out amongst our peers in the government contracting process,” said Buck Marshall, President and CEO of Mission Ready. “The two currently active BPA’s showcase the Company’s ability to quickly react to meet time-sensitive government procurements requirements, and we are grateful for the DLA’s continued confidence in our ability to provide them with the products they need, when they need them.” Mr. Marshall continues “Given DLA’s evolving requirements in support of the Afghan Refugees – and the nature of Blanket Purchase Agreements generally – minimum, estimated and maximum dollars values are not provided to the awardee(s) within the BPA. As such, we are unable to provide an accurate estimate as to the frequency, volume or value of delivery orders we may receive on the BPA during the 1 year term or any extension thereof.”

 

About Blanket Purchase Agreements

A blanket purchase agreement (BPA) is an acquisition method that allows government and agencies to fill anticipated repetitive needs for various supplies or services through a virtual line of credit with a trusted supplier. The key difference between BPA and GSA Schedules lies in the ability for the agencies to buy a variety of supplies or services that would typically require the agency to purchase through multiple GSA schedules or contracts. BPAs are negotiated on an individual agency level, and generally, only a small number of agency offices can place orders on them. Sales conditions are agreed upon ahead of BPA awards and include details of supplies or services needed and the price for each of them. As a comparison, GSA Schedules are negotiated directly and only with GSA and, once awarded, allows any federal agencies to purchase directly from them. BPA orders also often have an acquisition threshold where GSA Schedules do not.
