NIGP 25724: Bomb Protection Devices and Supplies

NIGP 25724 Bomb Protection Devices And Supplies is an Item code covering specialized protective equipment and systems used by law enforcement bomb disposal and emergency response units. State and local governments currently procure under this code complete EOD suits with integrated helmets and audio systems, helmet packages, battery units with chargers, and associated spare parts kits—all specified to meet National Institute of Justice standard 0117.01 for fragmentation protection, integrated hearing protection, LED lighting, and environmental awareness capabilities. Issuing bodies include county law enforcement agencies (police and sheriff departments) and state public safety departments, with procurement driven primarily by equipment replacement cycles and operational readiness needs rather than routine replenishment.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in the Southeast and Northeast. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an IFB for six line items of EOD 10E bomb suits and helmet packages with delivery to the Police Department (due July 24, 2026), and the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services procured one EOD 9N bomb suit with integrated helmet system through RFQ for the Department of Public Safety (due March 4, 2026). The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property included body armor and bomb suits as one of ten categories in its statewide law enforcement firearms and equipment procurement (T0106, Bid Solicitation #26DPP01214, due March 26, 2026), extending availability to more than 2,800 cooperative purchasing participants. Procurements typically use IFB or RFQ notice types with firm, fixed pricing and F.O.B. destination delivery requirements; awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all technical specifications. No set-aside or preference programs appear in the bomb suit solicitations themselves, though statewide frameworks may offer SBE or DVOB considerations at the ordering stage.
