Armor, transparent, v

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA) is seeking to procure transparent armor through a small business solicitation with Contract Opportunity ID 21c9207484c045008c15019362d9034e. The procurement involves two specific line items: Line 0001 requires 971 units of NSN 2541011899748 ARMOR,TRANSPARENT,V to be delivered to W1A8 DLA DISTRIBUTION within 90 days after order (ADO), and Line 0002 requires 1 additional unit with the same delivery parameters. This solicitation, posted on March 12, 2025, is open to all responsible sources who can submit electronic quotes by the due date of March 19, 2025. The procurement falls under the Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing NAICS category (336211) and the Vehicular Equipment Components PSC category (25-P), suggesting these are specialized component parts for military or defense vehicles. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the notice, the electronic quote submission process implies a streamlined procurement approach.

The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, which means only small businesses are eligible to compete for this contract. The procurement appears to be for military-grade transparent armor components, likely for use in military vehicles or protective equipment. The relatively small quantity (972 total units) and short delivery timeline (90 days ADO) suggest this might be a targeted replacement or supplemental order rather than a large-scale procurement. The place of performance is specified as W1A8 DLA DISTRIBUTION, indicating the delivery and potential manufacturing location. Though the exact contract value is not specified, the specialized nature of transparent armor and the military context suggest this could be a high-value procurement despite the modest unit quantities. The tight timeline between posting (March 12, 2025) and response deadline (March 19, 2025) indicates an expedited procurement process typical of urgent military equipment needs.
