This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, in conjunction with FAR 13.5, and as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is 1069-5Z7152 and is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 01-27. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 421610 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. This requirement is unrestricted and only interested offerors may submit a quote. The solicitation pricing on www.FedBid.com will start on the date this solicitation is posted and will end on Thursday, September 29, 2005 at 11:00:00 Eastern Time or as otherwise displayed at www.FedBid.com. FOB Destination shall be Springfield, VA 22153 The Department of State requires the following items, EXACT MATCH ONLY, to the following: LI 001, Gentex TBH (Tactical Ballistic Helmet) - GT-2000 NIJ 0106.01 Level 3A The TBH offers the following advantages when compared to the current MICH Ballistic Helmet. The TBH also meets or exceeds the US Military Standard (17 grain FSP) V50 2150 FPS., 150, EA; LI 002, M16/AR15 Front Sling Thing For Dovetails The new GG&G Sling Thing For Dovetails provides the flexibility to mount the front sling attachment anywhere on the tactical foregrip rails that meet the mission requirement. As with all of our "Sling Things", this latest addition to the product line provides a lightweight, durable, easy-to-install and inexpensive method for front sling attachment. Manufactured from tough 7075 billet aluminum, black hard-coat anodized, meets MIL-STD-1913, 100% American Made. GGG-1203 BattleLab CG Sling The CG Sling is simple but effective. It has a quick release, single point attachment and is designed to be used with single point attachment plate. Model # BLPF-36, 50, EA; LI 003, BattleLab CQB Duty Belts This ultra rigid duty belt will serve as a solid platform for your drop leg rigs and primary LBE kit. Model # BLPF01, 50, EA; LI 004, F.O.G. ? Fast-Rope/Operator Glove? Designed to get you down the rope and straight to guns, the F.O.G. provides exactly the protection you need while allowing you to maintain dexterity. Transitioning will never be a problem from this point on! The F.O.G. features a Nomex/Kevlar? construction and provides four times the cut-resistance of leather, as well as heat and flash protection to 800?F (427?C). The entire glove is sewn with non-melting nylon thread. Water resistant kangaroo leather palms provide superior abrasion and cut resistance. Cut-ring stitching allows optional removal of the index finger for trigger control, without unraveling the remaining edge. The ergonomic fit, tactile sensation and features found in the F.O.G. are the same found in the SOG glove and are unmatched. An elasticized wrist keeps the F.O.G. taut, while the elasticized wrist strap keeps out foreign objects (sand, dirt, etc.), prevents snagging and adds support to the user?s wrist. A second layer of leather in the palm provides additional protection and is ergonomically cut to prevent bunching while clenching objects. Foam padding in the heel of the palm cushions the shock of firearm recoil. Posi-Grip? non-skid material in the cradle of the hand provides a confident grip when using weapons or tools. The key feature of the F.O.G. is the replacement gloves for fast-roping. Each pair of F.O.G.?s can be fitted with a set of replacement fast-rope over-gloves. This over-glove technology allows the operator to simply replace the leather instead of replacing the entire glove as the leather wears down. Each over-glove features an elastic back and adjustable backhand strap for a more comfortable fit. Model # SOG-F15, 50, EA; LI 005, PVS-14 NVG Mount The PVS-14 NVG Mount is an adapter/mounting system that allows mounting of the AN/PVS-14, AN/PVS-7, MUM-14, TAG-7 or TAM-14 to the PASGT "Kevlar" helmet. This mount features fine vertical (Pitch) and eye releve adjustment and allows the NVG to be quickly and securly swung up and out of the users line of sight when the NVG is not in use. The quick release allows the adapter and or NVG to be stowed without removal of the mount. Model #A3256368., 50, EA; LI 006, R.B.V.-"Predator? Ballistic Vest Adjustability ? The Shoulders are adjustable with hook and loop and the cummerbund is adjustable in 1" increments to give fit and form to the operator. This allows for easy adjustment when going into different environments or carrying different loads on the vest platform. An optional concealable carrier is available to match the ballistic package in the vest. This allows the wearer to have a dual purpose ballistic vest and cuts down on the weight that the operator carries in his kit. Model #RBS/DS, 50, EA; LI 007, R.B.V. Victory The Victory is a basic version of the Predator. With no load bearing platform, the Victory Armor vest is very conducive to separate load bearing vest over the top. Utilizing both interior and exterior cummerbunds, the vest is well fitting and allows maximum mobility. With adjustable shoulder straps and side cummerbunds, the Victory has proven to be a highly comfortable armor vest. Rounding out the Victory design, like other Predator-based models, is the integrated drag handle that has been tested to over 350 lbs. without tearing out. Model #: RBV-V, 100, EA; LI 008, R.C.V. ? Concealable Vest The Diamondback Tactical R.C.V. was designed with the operator and officer in mind. This 6 point adjustable vest has the same level 3A ballistic package as the R.C.B.V. and R.B.V. Predator vests. We wanted to offer our customers two vests in one. The ballistic panels that are in our tactical packages are interchangeable with the concealable carrier. What this means is a cost savings to the end user and less gear to haul around. When designing this concealable vest, we wanted to serve two distinct purposes. The first was to offer our customers an extremely lightweight, low cost level 3A ballistic vest and the second, to work interchangeably with our tactical vests, again saving money for our customers. Made of a washable 65/35 poly-cotton blend, the R.C.V. will hold up very well under adverse conditions. The R.C.V. can utilize any one of three type III-A offerings. All our ultra high performance ballistic packages are certified to N.I.J. Standard 0101.04. Model # GPA-3A-1, 150, EA; LI 009, DBT Ultra Concealable Level 3+ Stand Alone Ballistic Rifle Plate This highly concealable plate was designed to defeat today?s current threat while giving the operator the ability to wear a concealable lightweight ballistic plate. As you can see in the image, this multi-hit plate defeated 2 hits of M855 Green Tip at 3000 ft. per second, and 2 hits of M193 5.56 Ball at 3300 ft. per second. You can?t go wrong with this plate for both tactical or concealable use. Threat Level: III + 5.56 x 45 ? M193 Ball 5.56 x 45 ? M855 NATO Green Tip 5.45 x 39 ? Soviet Ball AK-74 7.62 x 39 ?
