- The United States Army Contracting Command (ACC-APG) intends to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a firm-fixed price (FFP), commercial contract utilizing Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 13.5. This requirement is in support of the US Army PM Soldier Protection & Equipment (PM SPE) and is a request for ballistic and stab testing on Type 1 and Type 2 Concealable Body Armor (CBA) vests. The main objective of this testing is to evaluate Key Performance Parameters (KPP) and Vest Characterization of each type vest (Type 1 / Type 2). 1. Testing must be conducted in a National Institute Justice (NIJ) certified laboratory. 2. Testing must be conducted in a lab certified by ATC. 3. The contractor shall provide certifications upon request. 4. The Government will furnish Type I and Type II vests, Knife Blades, Spikes, and Composite Backing Material. 5. The Contractor shall be required to furnish all labor, materials, ammunition and equipment necessary to provide testing in the following format: Type I Vest: 1. NIJ Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor Standard-0101.06 (July 2008) for both Type IIIA and Type III Projectiles. (Variables: shot locations, velocities, and conditioning requirements (pre-conditioning, tumbling, and hot and cold conditioning). 2.

NIJ Stab Resistance of Personal Body Armor Standard-0115.00 (Sept 2000) Level III / spike / edge blade. 2. Additional iterations of the protocol will be conducted on vests conditioned for hot and cold. Vest Characterization: Tests will be conducted to examine vest ballistic / stab / spike performance in additional situations. Additional environmental subtests, different caliber weapons, and additional levels of stab / spike energies will be tested over and above the KPP and Additional Performance Attribute requirements. The anticipated date of issue for the RFQ is on or about 29 April 2011. POC for this action is Karen Gibson, karen.gibson2@us.army.mil.
