Tailored Armor Carrier

The District of Columbia Government, specifically the Office of Contracting and Procurement acting on behalf of the Department of Corrections (DOC), is seeking a contractor to provide custom-fitted concealable soft body armor for approximately 650 correctional officers. This procurement opportunity focuses on acquiring tailored armor carriers that are specifically designed to meet the protective equipment needs of correctional staff. The solicitation requires a vendor capable of delivering individually fitted body armor that ensures maximum protection and comfort for each officer. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided information, the procurement appears to prioritize precise sizing, quality of protective materials, and ability to meet the department's specific protective requirements. The contract opportunity was originally posted on August 25, 2006, with an unusual due date of December 30, 1899, which suggests there might be an error in the original document's date entry.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate any set-aside designations or specific restrictions on respondent organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure, or technology integration requirements. The document lacks details about potential award values or budget ranges for the armor carrier procurement. Given the scope of outfitting 650 correctional officers with custom body armor, the contract would likely represent a substantial investment for the District of Columbia Government. Potential vendors would need to demonstrate capabilities in manufacturing, measuring, and delivering precisely fitted protective gear for law enforcement personnel, with a focus on meeting the specific protective needs of correctional officers.
