Ballistic Shield

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal (ACC Rock Island) is seeking sources for a Ballistic Shield procurement under a pre-solicitation notice. The contract opportunity focuses on military armored vehicle components, specifically within the Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing NAICS category. Vendors interested in this opportunity must be registered in the Joint Certification Program (JCP) and include their CAGE code when requesting additional documentation. Potential contractors are required to submit a fully approved DD Form 2345 directly to meredith.s.blocker.civ@army.mil for expedited approval. Detailed drawings for the ballistic shield can be accessed through www.sam.gov, and interested vendors should carefully review the attached Quality Assurance Provisions (QAP) and associated technical specifications.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, suggesting the opportunity is open to a broad range of qualified vendors. While specific award values are not disclosed in the notice, the procurement is categorized under Combat, Assault, and Tactical Vehicles, Tracked product service code (PSC 2350), which implies a potential significant contract value. The short timeline between the posted date (March 24, 2025) and the due date (March 26, 2025) suggests this is a time-sensitive procurement process with an accelerated evaluation period. The contract appears to be a defense-oriented procurement targeting specialized manufacturers capable of producing sophisticated ballistic shield components for military applications. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate technical capabilities, manufacturing expertise, and compliance with military specification requirements.
