- This is announcement for an Industry Day on behalf of Program Manager Special Operations Forces - Survival, Support, and Equipment Systems (PM-SOF SSES) to discuss a potential upcoming requirement for a new Aviator Body Armor Vest (ABAV). PM-SOF SSES is looking for a modular ABAV system capable of being configured for operations from USSSOCOM specific airframes that operate over land and water. The personnel requiring the use of a new ABAV system includes pilots and crew of these airframes. Natick Contracting Division (NCD) and PM-SOF SSES are conducting market research in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10 in advance of a potential solicitation for a new ABAV system. The Industry Day is open to both Small and Other Than Small Businesses who are either Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) or Integrators of vests, plate carriers, their components, or similar systems. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 314999 - All Other Miscellaneous Textile Manufacturing. This is an opportunity for vendors to ask questions and view various airframes and crew positions in those vehicles. Questions will be answered regarding the various crew positions within the aircraft, and how any potential ABAV submitted to the Government in response to a future solicitation will be evaluated. Industry Day Dates: 15 - 16 March 2017 Location: Ft. Campbell, KY There is a limit of three people per vendor, however this number may be cut down to two people per vendor if space becomes limited. Every effort will be made by the Government to notify vendors as soon as possible if this becomes the case.
