About this vehicle
The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Soldier established this Master IDIQ on September 7, 2021, to procure Next Generation Integrated Head Protection Systems. Ordering authority extends through September 6, 2028—approximately 2 years and 1 month of active ordering remain. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $856.7 million.
Three contractors won awards at establishment: Avon Protection Ceradyne LLC, Gentex Corporation, and Galvion Technologies LLC. The original solicitation (W91CRB-21-R-0043) was issued on a sole-source basis under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) citing only one responsible source; however, all 17 task orders awarded through June 2025 carry no set-aside designation and represent unrestricted competition among the awardees.
Activity accelerated significantly in 2024 and 2025. After awarding one task order each in 2022 and 2023, the vehicle generated eight orders in 2024 and five through June 2025. The combined potential value across all task orders is $288.4 million, with $288.4 million obligated (100% of potential value). Avon Protection Ceradyne LLC dominates with 8 orders worth $179.7 million combined potential value, while Gentex Corporation holds 7 orders worth $104.3 million. Leading Technology Composites Inc. and a fourth iteration of Avon Protection Ceradyne LLC account for $3.1 million and $1.3 million respectively.
PEO Soldier places the vast majority of orders—15 orders worth $258.4 million. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles has placed 2 orders worth $30 million combined.
Task orders range from small design and interface work ($15,000–$50,000) to large production runs. Production orders for helmet systems typically carry values between $6 million and $42.4 million with firm fixed pricing and performance periods of 12–24 months. The most recent deliveries in June 2025 reached $32.6 million and $21.7 million respectively. All awarded orders employ firm fixed pricing.
