Armor for NPS Police officers

The National Park Service is soliciting quotations for ballistic protection equipment, specifically External Vest System (EVS) components from Angel Armor's RISE brand product line, to support newly hired law enforcement officers attending the NPS Bridge Class training program. The procurement includes 24 Ranger Green Flex Carriers (standard IIIA), 1 Ranger Green 2XL Flex Carrier, 25 Black Stealth Carriers, 25 Universal ID Placards, and 25 Small Name Strips. Vendors must be authorized resellers of Angel Armor products and able to meet the stringent technical requirements, including compatibility with NPS-issued NIJ-compliant ballistic panels, durability standards for intensive law enforcement training, and the patented 360-degree tensioning system unique to Angel Armor's design. Evaluation will be conducted using a lowest price technically acceptable method, and quotations must be submitted by January 15, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. The contract will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price purchase order with delivery required by January 12, 2026.

This is a total small business set-aside procurement with no incumbent contractor identified, as the requirement is specifically tailored to Angel Armor's proprietary system. The estimated total contract value is $29,827.76. The requirement specifies a total of 50 units of various vest carriers and accompanying components, with a standard 30-day delivery timeline after receipt of order. Partial deliveries are acceptable if coordinated with the government, but all items must arrive prior to the start of the Bridge Class training cycle. Performance of delivery will take place at the Horace Albright Training Center in Grand Canyon, Arizona, with the contracting officer point of contact being Richard Burns at Richard_burns@nps.gov.
