About this opportunity
The 48th Contracting Squadron at RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom, is conducting market research and seeking sources for JLTV Overhead Gunner Protection Kits, with responses due by July 20, 2026, 13:30 London Time. This is an RFI for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal request for proposal or quote.
The kit must comprise a reinforced overhead structural cage and restraint system with three 12-inch by 12-inch windows fitted with transparent ballistic glass, designed to bolt rigidly to the JLTV's pre-existing structural frame to ensure gunner safety in rollover scenarios. The protection kit must remain completely unobtrusive, with no obstruction to the weapon system, the gunner's freedom of movement, or access to critical equipment. All required high-strength, vehicle-grade mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions must be included.
Delivery is coordinated with the 48 Security Forces Squadron S4 Warehouse, Building #1027, RAF Lakenheath, Brandon, Suffolk, IP27 9PN.
Respondents should provide company willingness and capability to deliver the kits, descriptive literature available to the general public, firm contact information including CAGE code and Unique Entity Identifier, the calendar days required to respond to a future Request for Quote, and feedback on any ambiguous or confusing language in the attached Salient Characteristics document (Revision 0001, dated July 13, 2026).
