About this opportunity
The Department of the Army National Guard is conducting market research through a Request for Information due July 16, 2026, for ballistic helmets and tactical headsets meeting attached specifications. This is a non-binding RFI for capability assessment; no solicitation timeline or award date is specified. No set-aside applies.
The government seeks vendors capable of providing helmets compatible with headsets, along with similar product combinations, to determine whether future procurement requires brand-name specifications or can accept equal alternatives. Responses must include company information (name, address, point of contact, Federal Cage Code, UEI, business size designation), detailed product specifications for both helmets and headsets, part numbers, and compatibility data. GSA Schedule information is requested where applicable. Interested vendors must be registered in SAM and submit responses via email to jeffrey.m.corey4.mil@army.mil; paper copies and oral communications are not acceptable.
The RFI references specifications for the Shellback Tactical Level IIIA ACH High Cut Ballistic Helmet (NIJ Standard 0106.01 Level IIIA protection, Kevlar construction, D30 7-pad suspension, 4-point retention harness, ITAR-controlled, 5-year ballistic warranty) and the EARMOR M32X headset (22 dB noise reduction, active impulse suppression above 82 dB, IPX-5 waterproof rating, dual AAA battery with 350-hour operation, four independent audio speakers, M16 helmet rail adapter compatibility via ARC mounting, CE/RoHS/ANSI S3.19-1974/EN352 compliant). All submissions become government property and will not be returned. Future solicitation announcements will be posted to sam.gov.
