Amended 01 Hybrid Enhanced Ballistic Protection System BPA

PEO Aviation is procuring replacement Hybrid Enhanced Ballistic Protection System (HEBPS) components under a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement to maintain mission-critical ballistic protection for CH-47 Chinook helicopter crews. These components are essential for restoring damaged or non-functional HEBPS kits to full operational readiness, ensuring deployable units remain in Condition A during combat operations. The procurement is justified under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii) due to the unique and highly specialized nature of the components, which are manufactured exclusively by The Protective Group (TPG). TPG has officially certified Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (ADS) as its exclusive authorized distributor, with no direct sales to the government allowed, making ADS the sole viable source for these parts. The amended BPA, identified by solicitation number 47QSWC22A0010, is managed by the General Services Administration’s Assisted Contracting Branch B in Washington, D.C., with performance centered in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The contract falls under NAICS code 332999 and is not subject to any set-aside requirements. Primary point of contact is Rodney Johnson, with Melissa Salvatore as secondary, both reachable through listed phone numbers and email addresses. The sole-source determination is supported by TPG’s formal certification and the absence of any alternative suppliers capable of meeting the technical and operational demands of the HEBPS components.
