About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles has issued a sole source justification to modify contract SPE1C1-21-D-1500 for the procurement of HGU-55/P Helmets with MBU-20/P High Speed and Standard Visors from Gentex Corporation. The modification adds 5,000 helmets to the existing contract, comprising 4,450 units with High-Speed Visors priced at $1,148.54 each and 550 units with Standard Visors at $1,173.77 each, bringing the total contract value to $26,969,834.28. The sole source procurement is justified because Gentex Corporation is the only manufacturer capable of producing these specialized helmet/visor systems that meet the Air Force's stringent safety requirements for high-G environments, including windblast testing at 450 knots for Standard Visors and 600 knots for High-Speed Visors. The government lacks the technical data rights necessary to competitively procure these critical safety items, and the modification is needed to sustain protective equipment requirements until a new long-term contract is awarded in March 2027. This procurement falls under the authority of 10 USC 3204(a)(1) for situations where only one responsible source exists to meet the government's specific technical requirements.
