Amended 01 Hybrid Enhanced Ballistic Protection System BPA

PEO Aviation is seeking a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement for replacement components of the Hybrid Enhanced Ballistic Protection System (HEBPS), which are vital for maintaining the operational readiness and ballistic protection of CH-47 Chinook helicopters. These components are essential for restoring damaged or non-functional HEBPS kits, ensuring that deployable units maintain 'Condition A' status for effective protection of pilots and soldiers during combat missions. The procurement is justified under a specific government acquisition regulation, which allows for sole source procurement when only one source can provide the specialized products required. The Protective Group (TPG) manufactures the unique HEBPS components but does not sell directly to the government; instead, Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (ADS) is their exclusive authorized distributor both on the open market and under Schedule contracts. This exclusivity is formally documented by a letter from TPG certifying ADS as the sole authorized distributor, making ADS the only capable vendor to fulfill this requirement. The contract, identified by solicitation number 47QSWC22A0010, is administered by the General Services Administration’s Assisted Contracting Branch in Washington, DC, with the place of performance in Virginia Beach, VA. Primary contacts for this contract include Rodney Johnson and Melissa Salvatore at GSA.
