Request for Information for Development and Integration of Armored System Solutions

The United States Secret Service intends to solicit industry information regarding capabilities to design new armor systems, modify existing armor designs, and integrate approved armored solutions for automotive transportation and non-military specialty vehicles, with responses due January 8, 2027. This is a Request for Information only; no contract will be awarded and all response costs are the sole responsibility of the respondent.

The USSS seeks vendors capable of designing armor systems, modifying existing designs using government-approved materials, and integrating solutions into designated vehicles. Non-negotiable requirements include armor materials with validated performance and documented lifecycle (minimum ten years for opaque solutions, five years for transparent solutions with two-year warranty); armor solution samples validated to DOD Mil-Specs, ASTM, UL, and NIJ standards; commercial armored vehicle fabrication capability; comprehensive fabrication procedures and installation instructions for sport utility vehicles; obtaining or being willing to obtain DCSA SECRET-level facility and personnel clearances; transferring full usage rights to the government upon contract completion; and providing a history of previously supplied commercial vehicles.

Respondents must submit unclassified PDF responses not exceeding thirty pages electronically to melissa.chabot@usss.dhs.gov and jade.gaston@usss.dhs.gov. Submissions should include company information, Dun & Bradstreet number, CAGE Code, primary NAICS Code, and small business status designations. All submissions become government property and will not be returned. Failure to respond does not preclude participation in a potential future RFP.
