The US Secret Service is procuring brand name Ultra-Low Visible Ballistic Body Armor Plates through a simplified acquisition procedure under FAR Part 13.5. The requirement specifically calls for Polyethylene Gen IV Ultra Low Vis Ballistic Rifle Plates capable of stopping multiple rounds of 5.56 and 7.62 rifle ammunition, designed to fit precisely in Velocity Systems Ultra Low Vis Carrier Gen 2 in white color to maximize agent concealment. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products classified under NAICS code 315990 (Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing) and PSC code 8470 (Armor, Personal). Vendors must submit quotations using the attached Request for Quotes 70US0925Q70092360 and include the provided pricing sheet. The original solicitation was amended on August 4, 2025, to address vendor questions and extend the quote submission deadline to 3:00 PM EST on August 5, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside, meaning only quotes from certified small business concerns will be accepted for evaluation. The solicitation does not specify award values, quantities, or identify any incumbent contractors in the available documentation. Performance will take place in Washington, DC 20223, which aligns with the Secret Service's operational requirements for protective equipment. The emphasis on "Ultra-Low Visible" and form-fitted design specifications indicates this procurement supports the agency's protective mission while maintaining operational discretion. The brand name requirement for Velocity Systems products suggests a sole-source or brand-specific need based on compatibility and performance standards already established by the Secret Service.
