About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Analysis Center is seeking qualified sources to provide a comprehensive Armor Protection Solution for live-fire human performance trials. The procurement involves fifty 16" square freestanding armor block units that must comply with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 R12 standards, including fifteen corner assemblies, twenty-five floor mounting assemblies, and fifty 10.5 mm thick layering panel sections. The modular armor system is designed to withstand small arms systems up to .50 caliber Browning Machine Gun and must integrate with existing hardened protective infrastructure at Army Experimental Range Facilities. Interested parties are required to submit detailed responses within five business days of the posting, demonstrating their ability to meet specifications, providing business type and size classification, and describing relevant past project experience. Evaluation will focus on technical compliance, manufacturing capabilities, and the contractor's ability to deliver a fully integrated armor protection system.
The procurement is not specifically set aside for small businesses, though the Army encourages participation from HUBZone, 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned, and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses. The contract falls under NAICS code 331110 with a small business size standard of 1,500 employees, and is classified under Product Service Code 9515 for plate, sheet, and strip materials. Delivery is scheduled for June 2025 to the Army Research Laboratory site in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The total contract will consist of fifty armor block units with comprehensive mounting and layering components, designed to meet rigorous military testing standards. While specific award value is not disclosed, the technical complexity and specialized nature of the armor protection system suggest a significant investment in advanced protective infrastructure for military research and development purposes.
