About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is conducting market research to identify potential contractors capable of supplying components for the Integrated Helmet Protection System (IHPS). The procurement covers three specific items: IHPS Brackets (Generation 1), IHPS Brackets (Next Generation), and IHPS Rail Assemblies, all classified under NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing). This is a sources sought synopsis intended to determine the most appropriate procurement method, and interested parties are requested to submit organizational information and tailored capability statements demonstrating their technical and organizational capacity. No formal evaluation criteria have been outlined in this pre-solicitation notice, as the government is still in the market research phase and has not yet issued a formal solicitation. The deadline for interested parties to submit capability information is March 24, 2026, with no questions or feedback being accepted via telephone inquiry.

This pre-solicitation notice does not employ a set-aside designation, meaning the procurement will be open to all eligible contractors regardless of small business status or other socioeconomic factors. No incumbent contractor or current contract holder is identified in the notice, and no specific award value or budget range has been disclosed at this stage of the market research process. The notice does not specify quantities for the required items or establish a definitive timeline for contract award and performance. Organizations interested in pursuing this opportunity must understand that submission of capability information is entirely voluntary and carries no financial obligation for the government, which assumes no responsibility for any costs incurred by respondents in preparing their submissions.
