About this file

This is a soft body armor requirements document for the Massachusetts Department of State Police. The procurement seeks pricing for soft body armor vests at two threat levels—Level II and Level IIIA—with an initial quantity of one vest per level for sizing purposes. Approximately 276 individuals will participate in fitting sessions to determine the final allocation of Level II and Level IIIA vests across vendors. The vendor must be present with a minimum of one to two personnel during fitting sessions scheduled for August 11-13 and August 18-20, with times ranging from 0600-1200 hours and/or 1100-1700 hours at the Supply location in Milford, Massachusetts. All vests must be delivered by October 30, 2026. The Department reserves the right to award bids as a whole or on an individual item basis based on best value to the Commonwealth.

The Point Blank product specifications include the VS5AXACS0M model for Level II vests (female/male set with two Vision Carriers and one AXII soft armor with soft trauma insert) and the VS5ABDCS0M model for Level IIIA vests (female/male set with two Vision Carriers and one AXBIIIA soft armor with soft trauma insert). Hard trauma plates are also specified, including the PLT010SCRN for females and PLT012ECRN for males. Vendors must provide detailed tracking information in Excel format prior to vest delivery, including identification numbers, trooper names, manufacture dates, front and back serial numbers, threat levels, and size designations. This information must also appear on stickers affixed to the exterior of each box. The Department reserves the right to negotiate changes to any element of contract performance or cost to achieve lower expenses or improved value.
