Next Generation Advanced Bomb Suit Contract ModificationThe U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal intends to modify the sole-source, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract W91CRB-23-D-0021 awarded to QinetiQ Incorporated for the Next Generation Advanced Bomb Suit (NGABS), a critical Acquisition Category IV program designed to replace the aging Advanced Bomb Suit. The NGABS provides EOD soldiers with comprehensive 360-degree ballistic and blast protection, integrating the Soldier Protection System including the IHPS Gen I helmet, MSV, and VTP hard armor plates, while significantly enhancing mobility, survivability, and mission tailoring for global operational environments. The system includes advanced technological features such as the Modular Sensor Suite and Heads-Up Display, which deliver fused day/night vision, infrared, and visible spectrum data directly to the soldier, dramatically improving situational awareness in low-visibility conditions. The current contract covers procurement, production, and delivery of the complete NGABS ensemble, including the bomb suit, soft armor, helmet cooling, integrated lighting, communications, computing systems, and software, all aligned with Purchase Description GL/PD 23-03. The proposed modification will restructure the contract’s line-item numbering to allow the NGABS Bomb Suit component to be procured separately from the MSS Electronics Kit containing the Heads-Up Display, enabling greater operational flexibility and logistical efficiency. This change supports tailored procurement based on immediate mission needs without requiring full system acquisition. The modification is being pursued under statutory authority for unavoidable delays in fulfilling urgent requirements, with award anticipated in August 2026. No formal solicitation is being issued; instead, the government is seeking voluntary capability submissions from interested parties by August 3, 2026, to assess whether competition would be in the government’s best interest. Responses must be submitted electronically to designated point of contacts, include proof of capability to deliver the required systems, and incur no cost or obligation to the government. Verbal submissions are not accepted, and the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition.
