Helmets Supply

The contract is for the supply of combat helmets that meet or exceed ballistic and impact protection standards equivalent to PASGT, ACH, or ECH models, specifically for use by the Kenyan military. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under a Small Business Set Aside, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to bid, and the award is reserved entirely for such entities. The North American Industry Classification System code 339999 indicates the work falls under miscellaneous manufacturing, which encompasses the production of protective gear not covered by more specific categories. The contract was posted on August 7, 2026, with a response deadline of August 20, 2026, at 5:00 PM. Although the contracting agency is listed as the U.S. Army Contracting Activity under the Department of Defense, the helmets are intended for foreign military use in Kenya, suggesting this may be part of a larger U.S. foreign military sales or security assistance program. The place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified, and bidders are expected to review the official SAM.gov listing for full technical specifications and submission requirements.
