The U.S. Department of Defense, through DLA Land and Maritime, is soliciting bids for 245 units of transparent vehicular armor window with NSN 2541-016706560 under a total small business set-aside, with the solicitation opening on or about May 18, 2026, and closing on or about June 19, 2026. The requirement is being processed under FAR Part 15 and is not being treated as a commercial item, as the product is specifically designed for military use. Offers must be submitted via the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) using a scanned hard copy of the SF 33 Request for Proposal, or directly via email to John McCarthy at [email hidden], with all submissions required in English and U.S. dollars. Delivery is required within 120 days to two designated locations: DLA Distribution San Joaquin in Tracy, California, and DLA Distribution New Cumberland in Pennsylvania. The item must comply with multiple approved engineering drawings and quality assurance protocols, each with specific revision levels and dates, including but not limited to drawings 19207-12600534 Rev G, 19207-12604893 Rev R, and 19207-12600041 Rev D, as well as references to QAP 16236 and associated inspection and certification standards. Performance evaluation will consider price, delivery timeliness, and overall reliability, not price alone. Although the solicitation is non-commercial, suppliers may propose commercial alternatives within 15 days of the notice, subject to approval. The contract will be awarded based on a holistic assessment of technical compliance, ability to meet stringent military specifications, and fulfillment of the required delivery schedule to the specified FOB and inspection points detailed in the solicitation.
