AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Service, acting on behalf of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), intends to award a firm-fixed price, sole source contract to KDH Defense Systems, Inc. for 40 complete desert camouflage body armor vests. These vests meet or exceed the requirements of the Naval Coastal Warfare Groups and feature a unique Single Wire activation system that enables the vest to separate into no more than two pieces upon activation, allowing for reassembly in 75 seconds or less.
