About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) amendment for Solicitation Number 127EAT26Q0014, issued on December 2, 2025, for R5 Pacific Southwest - Law Enforcement and Investigation Vest. The solicitation seeks quotes for outer/external carrier vests for law enforcement officers, with specific requirements including custom sizing for each officer through a "Vest Sizing Chart" to be completed post-contract award. Vendors are instructed to submit a single quote, and the vests will not be one-size-fits-all but individually customized.
The accompanying images show a green law enforcement vest with front and back views, featuring multiple pockets, a badge area, and "LAW ENFORCEMENT" text on the back. The front of the vest displays a name tag (Cappelletti) and an agency badge. Vendors were encouraged to review the photo examples to confirm the style of carrier vest required, with the government emphasizing that only the outer carrier vest is being solicited at this time, not the ballistic armor itself.

Questions and Answers
127EAT26Q0014
R5 Pacific Southwest - Law Enforcement and Investigation Vest
ISSUED: December 2, 2025 9 December 2025 Amendment 0001
Question 1: Can you provide the vest sizes for this order? Will measurements need to be done?
Answer: Yes, we will provide each officer’s size once the contract is awarded. Each officer will measure themselves.
Question 2: My question is if we have to size these ourselves or will a mix of small, medium, large suffice?
Answer: Yes, whomever gets the award will provide us with a “Vest Sizing Chart” to fill out for each officer to have their vest custom made according to their size.
Question 3: Are you wanting this to be a one-size-fits-all vest, or are you requiring different sizes?
Answer: No, Not one size fit all. These will be customized.
Question 4: Will you accept multiple bids emailed separately? We may end up with two options depending on your department's needs and want to see if we can submit multiple bids.
Answer: Please submit one (1) quote that is appropriate to the solicitation. The government is only requesting quotes for outer carrier vest.
Question 5: I wanted to confirm you're only requesting pricing on the external carriers and not ballistic armor as well. If you are only seeking the carrier would you like us to send a list of compatible armor options to have on hand in the event you're looking to purchase armor down the road?
Answer: Outer/ external carrier only.
Question 6: Would I be able to send over a sample photo to confirm the style carrier is correct? This information would be proprietary information and we ask the photo not be posted on a public Q&A response.
Answer: Please see photo examples below.
Question 7: What I would like to know from you is do you have a photo of the Ballistic Carrier Vest that you are wanting manufactured or more detailed drawings of the vest you have in mind?
Answer: The government is requesting Outer Carrier Vest.
