The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has a requirement for a multi-year contract to procure Special Operations Forces Personal Equipment Advanced Requirements (SPEAR) Tactical Stand-Alone (TSA) & Modular Supplemental Armor Protection (MSAP) Hard Armor ballistic plates. The TSA & MSAP capability provides lightweight ballistic protection from prevalent validated sniper rifle and carbine threats that utilize armor piercing or armor piercing incendiary ammunition. The government intends to award a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) production contract with a two-year option period for a fully developed item to the offeror with the best value to the Government. This is not a R&D contract; the offeror must be the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and have an existing U.S. verifiable production line for any product proposed under this solicitation. The TSA & MSAP ballistic plates must meet the performance requirements as outlined in the Performance Specification and meet the requirements set forth in the Berry Amendment. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this procurement is 339999.

The acquisition is a 100% small business set aside competition. The solicitation is being released with this synopsis. The minimum contract value will be $250K and the maximum contract value will be $450M. The minimum and the maximum value may be any combination of the ballistic plates identified by the Government. Proposals shall be prepared in accordance with the mandatory, explicit, and detailed instructions contained in the RFP. Proposals will be evaluated and award made in accordance with the evaluation criteria in the RFP. Offerors will be required to submit Production Demonstration Models (PDMs) with proposal submission for evaluation. In addition, the Government may procure additional PDMs for testing purposes as part of this solicitation.

A Notice of Intent to submit a proposal will be required by all participating offerors in accordance with the solicitation instructions. Only those offerors who submit a Notice of Intent will receive the performance specification and may submit a proposal which may be considered by the agency. In addition, only those offers with a U.S. verifiable production line that are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) shall be considered by the agency. The Government point of contact for this effort is Stephanie Simpson at stephanie.simpson@socom.mil and John Helfert at john.helfert@socom.mil.
