- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Solicitation number is W91RUN-9212-7001. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Offerors are responsible for monitoring this site for the release of any amendments or other pertinent information. This is a request for quotation (RFQ). This acquisition is unrestricted. The Kentucky National Guard is soliciting for Training Small Arms Protective Inserts (SAPI) plates and Training Vest Inserts. Potential offerors are to review the specifications that follow: Item #1 - Training Small Arms Protective Inserts (SAPI) plates must closely replicate the size, shape, and weight of actual SAPI/ESAPI. Plates will approximate the curvature and dimensions of a medium-sized SAPI plate with a thickness of one inch, size dimensions of 9.5 X 12.5 inches, and weight of 4.0 lbs. Surface finish will be moderately rough to simulate the real SAPI. Plates will be extruded from impact resistant polyvinylchloride (PVC) and will contain no filler materials. Training plates made by this process and material will be highly robust and able to accommodate rough handling while providing excellent resistance to temperature and humidity fluctuation. Plates will be light in color, either beige, tan, or natural with color infused throughout the material. Plates will not be painted or otherwise tinted. Visual characteristics should be present to aid in the identification of the plate as a training device only. This configuration will discourage co-mingling of training devices with functional SAPI. Item #2 - The insert kits will consist of three sections that replicate the ballistic panels within an Outer Tactical Vest. The material must be resilient, match the approximate weight and feel of the original panels and provide air circulation to minimize Soldier discomfort during training. Panels will be manufactured as follows. Material: Prime flexible polyvinyl chloride plastic, UL rated HB (horizontal burn, self-extinguishing), lead free, with ultraviolet weathering package. Durometer: 70 Shore A, 15 second delay. Standard. Durometer may be adjusted upward to meet customer requirements to match stiffness of Kevlar inserts Color: Plastic standard colors Size: Custom sizes upon request to match size, weight, stiffness, and form of OTV Kevlar inserts. Training vest insert, while closely matching real ballistic panels to support effective Soldier training, will maintain a noticeable tactile distinction to aid in the identification of the vest as a training device only. This configuration will discourage co-mingling of training devices with functional OTVs. Delivery requirement is 4-6 weeks to Guard Material Management Center (GMMC) 5751 Briarhill Road, Lexington, KY 40516-9721.
