About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force, United States Air Forces in Europe–Air Forces Africa, seeks 47 Overhead Gunner Protection Kit systems (25 Green and 22 Tan) to outfit Joint Light Tactical Vehicles at RAF Lakenheath, with proposals due September 16, 2026. This is a Request for Quote for commercial products under FAR Part 12, firm fixed price, with no set-asides due to the overseas location.
Place of performance and delivery is RAF Lakenheath, Brandon, Suffolk, UK. The kits must be designed as aftermarket protective systems installable on existing Gunner Protection systems mounted on Oshkosh Defense JLTVs. Salient characteristics require a reinforced overhead structural cage and restraint system constructed from a minimum of 3/8-inch steel, with two 12-inch by 12-inch windows fitted with transparent ballistic glass. The system must rigidly bolt to the JLTV's pre-existing structural frame and include all necessary high-strength mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions. The design must remain completely unobtrusive with no obstruction to the weapon system, gunner freedom of movement, or access to critical equipment.
NAICS code is 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing); PSC is 2355 (Combat, Assault, and Tactical Vehicles, Wheeled). Delivery is required within 120 calendar days from award. Technical documentation must not exceed 20 pages. Questions are due August 10, 2026 by 15:00 BST. Award will be made on best value basis considering price and technical capability. Vendors must have active SAM registration and provide CAGE or NCAGE codes.
