We still have some hope on the BCS
We still have some hope on the BCS The Government BCS design is intended to function as an armored Army Combat Shirt (ACS). The non-ballistic materials used in the torso and sleeves are equal to the ACS in weight and functional characteristics, including flame resistance and moisture wicking. The deltoid and upper thoracic portions of the BCS contain soft armor that provides protection from fragmenting munitions. The deltoid portion of the BCS utilizes three (3) separate ballistic inserts that are layered to form an articulating shoulder that does not impede the normal upward motion of the arm at the shoulder joint.
This RFI is to gather information specific to producing the BCS. Currently the Government has a valid requirement for at least 1,060,000 BCSs that will be produced as part of the follow-on five (5) year multi-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract. Specifically, this RFI seeks information on the construction of and production capabilities related to the BCS. The BCS shall meet the Material Systems Requirement and Performance Requirement of the BCS Purchase Description (PD), AR/PD 15-06 Rev C, Amendment 1 dated 21 August 2018 (attachment). Patterns are available but can only be viewed with ACCUMARK, please request and verify ITAR compliance. https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/ballistic-combat-shirt-rfi-ballisticcombatshirtrfi
