REQUIREMENT: ICE SOFT BODY ARMOR KITS

REVISED Statement of Work (SOW) dated 10/4/22

SCOPE

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has a requirement for highly expandable NIJ Certified Level soft body armor kits for use by Special Agents and other designated armed personnel during the performance of their duties.

Offerors shall have the ability to manufacture a minimum of 3,500 sets of Level IIIA Soft Body Armor KITS per calendar year at the offeror’s manufacturing facility to satisfy ICE’s requirements.

In pursuit of their duties, DHS ICE personnel may be involved in high threat assignments, both within the United States and overseas, where they face violent confrontations which may necessitate the use of deadly force. The protection afforded DHS ICE Special Agents and other designated personnel by NIJ Certified Soft body Armor Kits is paramount to ones survival in the execution of these required duties. These NIJ Certified Soft body Armor Kits will be stored, carried and worn in a variety of environmental conditions.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

1. Armor

1.1 All body armor shall be certified by NIJ to have met or exceeded the Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor Standard 0101.06 for Level IIIA.

1.2 All body armor shall meet/exceeded the FBI Ballistic Resistance requirements for Standard Level IIIA.

1.3 The armor panel pattern shall approximate the current NIJ sizing schematic C1 – C5.

1.4 Body armor shall be gender specific and include both “Male” designated planar (or non-structured) ballistic panels and “Female” designated non-planar (or structured) ballistic panels. A “Unisex” classification may be substituted for “Male” as long as the panel is non-structured or planar; however, a separate “Female” designated armor model must be included. Armor models do not need to be identical in build specifications; however, armor models are required to be of the same ballistic material construction.
