Supply Tactical Vests, Placards and Plates to Lake Mead NRA (NV)   2

Background
This procurement is initiated by the National Park Service (NPS) for the Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NRA) to acquire replacement tactical vests for law enforcement officers.

The NPS Law Enforcement Policy (RM-9 Ch 29) mandates that tactical body armor, including vests, placards, and plates, must be manufactured by Angel Armor, LLC. The total anticipated cost for this procurement is $66,060.01.

Work Details
The contract involves the supply of tactical vests, placards, and plates specifically manufactured by Angel Armor, LLC.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on the fact that Angel Armor is the only approved manufacturer for these items at this time. Market research indicated that while tactical vests are available through a single GSA vendor, placards and bullet-proof plates are not listed and must be ordered directly from Angel Armor. This process would require multiple administrative actions which are deemed inefficient compared to a direct order from the manufacturer.

Place of Performance
Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NV)

Bidder Requirements
Only Angel Armor, LLC is recognized as an approved manufacturer for the required tactical safety equipment. No other vendors can fulfill this requirement as per NPS policy.
