The contract was awarded on December 4, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of December 16, 2029.

The scope includes manufacturing of carriers, soft armor ballistic packages, and related materials constituting the Soldier Protection System Tactical Equipment Program Modular Scalable Vest. The original solicitation, posted January 8, 2020, sought approximately five firm fixed-price indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contracts with a base year plus two one-year options, with subsequent delivery orders to be competed under fair opportunity procedures. All manufacturing and performance occurs at Bethel Industries' facility in Jersey City, New Jersey, and all procured items must comply with the Buy American Act.
Under this master contract, Bethel Industries has received nine delivery orders totaling approximately $144.9 million as of July 2025, demonstrating substantial government utilization of the contract vehicle. Delivery orders have ranged from a $2,000 First Article Test order for the MSV Generation II Law Enforcement Variant (awarded January 2024) to a $27.99 million order for 60,200 complete MSV Generation II systems (awarded September 2023). Additional significant orders include $23.16 million for complete MSV Generation II systems (July 2024), $18.19 million for MSV Generation II systems (August 2024), and $25.79 million for modular scalable vests (August 2022).
