The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center is soliciting bids for brand-name body armor and ballistic helmets for explosive ordnance disposal teams under solicitation number FA8051-26-Q-4003. The procurement requires three specific manufacturers' products: Crye Precision Body Armor, First Spear Body Armor, and Team Wendy Helmets, all of which are commercial off-the-shelf items. Contractors must propose exact manufacturer part numbers and unit descriptions as specified in the solicitation attachments, with all items delivered within 120 calendar days after receipt of order. The government will evaluate offers using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, with technical compliance as the first factor requiring acceptable offers to meet exact brand name and manufacturer specifications, and price as the second factor calculated as a firm-fixed price total evaluated price including all discounts and shipping costs. Interested vendors must submit questions by March 26, 2026 at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time, and proposals are due by April 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM CST.
This solicitation is set aside exclusively for Woman-Owned Small Business concerns with a small business size standard of 750 employees under NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing). No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the solicitation notice, as this represents a one-time purchase order for standardized equipment.

All items are funded through Operations and Maintenance appropriations on a firm fixed-price basis, with delivery required to the AFCEC/BARS Warehouse located at 5835 Bay Line Drive, Panama City, Florida 32404. The government anticipates that future acquisitions for fiscal years 2027-2030 will utilize an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract vehicle.
