About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security US Secret Service seeks six Vanguard-VL ballistic shields through a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued as a combined synopsis/solicitation, with quotes due August 17 at 1:00 PM EDT. This is an unrestricted (full and open competition) procurement under NAICS code 339999, but a brand name justification limits consideration to the Vanguard-VL specifically because the agency requires equipment already in use during training to ensure officers deploy under stress conditions using systems they have trained with.
Place of performance is Washington, DC. Delivery is expected 90 days from award execution to the Communications Center (UDO-Supply) at 245 Murray Lane, SW, Building T-5, Mail Stop 8509, Washington, DC 20223; ground shipments only are authorized, with freight deliveries subject to security screening at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling.
The shields must be black, measuring 21" x 36" and 0.4" thick, weighing 18.1 lbs, with a solid handle system, 3"x9" reinforced ballistic viewport, LED light with strobe mode (1200 lumens), left and right weapons index capability, and transport bag. All technical specifications in the Statement of Work must be met or exceeded. Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis via a firm fixed price purchase order to a single contractor. The PSC code is 8470 (Armor, Personal). RFQ question responses were posted August 11, 2026. The government incorporates FAR clauses applicable to commercial items through FAR Circular 2026-01 (effective March 13, 2026), including FAR 52.212-3 (representations and certifications). Submit quotes electronically to Contracting Officer Jade Gaston (jade.gaston@usss.dhs.gov) and Contract Specialist Taylor Haire (taylor.haire@usss.dhs.gov).
