Description of Service:

The Naval Postgraduate School is developing a lightweight concealable armor system for support of different end users. The NPS has successfully developed a system incorporating encapsulated ceramic spheres backed by an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). Contractor support is required to complete the final body armor system.

The contractor shall receive a quantity of 48 panels from the NPS. The panels will consist of a total of 5 different shapes and a total of 8 plates within an individual body armor system (total of 6 body armor systems). Two of the panels are single plates and the remaining three armor panel parts consist of qty 2 for inserts on the left and right side of the body. The dimensions of the panels include: qty 6 11.5” x 7”, qty 6 11” x 10”, qty 12 5” x 5”, qty 12 7” x 9”, qty 12 7” x 8”. The panels will require a backing material of 50 layers of HB212 initially pressed into contoured shapes (molds will be provided) at 5000 psi. Once pressed the vendor will apply an adhesive to bond the UHMWPE to the back of the ceramic sphere system. The final process will incorporate a nylon wrap to the entire system.
