--Modification to Purchase Order No. W91CRB-05-P-0204 to add to the quantity.

The Government plans to negotiate exclusively with Point Blank Body Armor, Inc., the current holder of Purchase Order W91CRB-05-P-0204, to increase the quantity by 10,000 Returned Interceptor Body Armor Outer Tactical Vests intended for retrofit, reconditioning, and conversion. Despite this, the solicitation remains open to all responsible vendors who submit quotations by noon on April 21, 2006, ensuring fair consideration of timely bids. This modification is part of a contractual adjustment under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the office located in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The solicitation, identified as USA-SNOTE-060414-002 and posted on April 14, 2006, falls under NAICS code 315999, which relates to apparel and accessory manufacturing. While it aims to expand the existing purchase order, no specific set-aside type or special acquisition designation is indicated. The contract maintains an open competitive posture despite being focused on a preferred vendor, reflecting procedural requirements for procurement transparency within government operations.
