About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources for HGU-55/P and HGU-56/P Flyers Helmet Visors. The RFI seeks to determine the market's capability to provide various specialized helmet visors with specific part numbers and National Stock Numbers (NSNs), including gradient, neutral gray, clear, high contrast, and yellow visors. Companies responding to the RFI must provide a comprehensive capability statement addressing technical requirements, with supporting documentation demonstrating organizational and staff capabilities. The deadline for submissions is June 16, 2025, and responses should be sent via email to Lisa.Pizzo@dla.mil and Maria.Aguayo@dla.mil. Interested parties must submit a five-page response that includes company details such as CAGE code, business size, potential subcontracting arrangements, and ability to handle classified information.

No specific set-aside designation is applied to this procurement, and the NAICS code is 332721 for Precision Turned Product Manufacturing. The RFI covers multiple visor configurations for HGU-55/P and HGU-56/P helmets, with specific requirements including FAR and DFARS clauses related to inspection, quality control, and critical safety items. While no award value or specific quantity is mentioned, the procurement appears focused on complex, specialized aviation equipment. The government reserves the right to use the RFI responses for procurement method determination and may request follow-up clarifications from individual companies. Importantly, this is a market research initiative, and no Request for Proposal (RFP) currently exists, so companies are advised not to request an RFP.
