About this opportunity
The United States Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Installation Contracting Agency is procuring body armor and ballistic helmets for explosive ordnance disposal teams through solicitation FA8051-25-Q-0004. The procurement includes specific brand-name items from three manufacturers: 2,400 units of Crye Body Armor across 19 part numbers, 270 units of First Spear Body Armor across 21 part numbers, and 600 units of Team Wendy Helmets across 3 part numbers. The solicitation uses a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process, evaluating proposals based on technical acceptability of the specified brand-name items and total evaluated price, with emphasis on pricing reasonableness and balance. Amendment #1, issued on July 21, 2025, updated specifications to replace a discontinued Crye Precision part number and extended delivery timelines for Crye products from 120 to 160 days due to potential delays. Electronic quotes are due by August 6, 2025 at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time.
This procurement is set aside exclusively for Woman-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) under NAICS code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. The solicitation requires firm-fixed pricing for all items, with Crye Body Armor items to be delivered within 160 calendar days after receipt of order, while First Spear and Team Wendy products must be delivered within 120 calendar days. All equipment will be delivered to the AFCEC/BARS Warehouse located at 5835 Bay Line Drive in Panama City, Florida. The Air Force intends to make a single award for this procurement, and offerors must precisely match the specified manufacturer part numbers and unit descriptions, as any deviations will result in automatic disqualification. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, and specific contract values are not disclosed as pricing will be determined through the competitive bidding process.
