About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command's 55th Security Forces Squadron at Offutt AFB is procuring three Mobile Response Shields (MRS) from Kontek Industries to provide ballistic protection for security personnel during high-risk incidents. The shields must provide NIJ level IV protection against incoming rounds up to 7.62mm and feature heavy-duty wheels for 360-degree maneuverability across all terrains while maintaining operability through hallways, doorways, and loading docks. Each shield must offer full body protection for average-height personnel and include collapsible side/flank shields that create an adaptable defensive fighting position while allowing operators to simultaneously return fire. This is a brand name requirement specifically for Kontek Industries products, justified through market research conducted September 3-12, 2025, which confirmed no other market alternatives meet the specific requirements. Questions are due by September 16, 2025 at 11:00 AM CST with responses available by September 17, 2025, and final offers are due September 19, 2025 at 11:00 AM CST.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) and PSC category 8470 (Armor, Personal). The procurement specifically identifies Kontek Industries as the sole source provider based on their Mobile Response Shields being the only Department of Defense approved Commercial-Off-The-Shelf items that meet the vulnerability assessment requirements. The contract calls for exactly three Mobile Response Shields to be delivered to the 55th Security Forces Squadron for gate perimeter protection and response to deadly force incidents. Performance will occur at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, with the equipment being essential for first responder operations in dynamic, fast-paced security situations. The single source justification indicates that while this procurement is reasonable, future purchases may involve additional market research to validate specifications and potentially identify alternative suppliers.
