About this opportunity
The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has issued a sole source justification for a 10-month extension of the Family of Tactical Helmet Systems (FTHS) contract with Gentex Corporation under existing IDIQ contract H9240319D0003. The extension covers continued procurement of ballistic and non-ballistic helmet systems, including helmet shells, suspension systems, chinstrap/retention systems, Visual Augmentation System (VAS) shrouds, accessory rails, and multicam helmet covers. The sole source justification is based on market research conducted in March 2024 that confirmed Gentex Corporation remains the only vendor capable of meeting USSOCOM's specialized helmet system requirements. The contract extension maintains the existing $95,000,000 ceiling and will enable USSOCOM to continue acquiring current helmet systems until at least April 2026 while simultaneously developing next-generation helmet systems through prototype projects. A Sources Sought notice posted on SAM.gov on June 18, 2025, failed to identify any alternative vendors capable of meeting the specialized requirements, supporting the continued sole source procurement from Gentex Corporation.
