Revised Guidelines Ceiling for Advanced Combat Helmet

Federal Prison Industries (FPI) has revised its authorized sales ceilings for the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) following a decision by the Army to transition from the Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT) Helmet to the ACH, resulting in increased material costs. The Board of Directors approved these increased sales ceilings primarily to accommodate the higher material expenses, without anticipating any change in the volume of helmets produced by FPI. This adjustment is not expected to negatively affect the private sector, as production quantities remain steady. The primary customer for these helmets is the Department of Defense, and all activities related to this contract are managed by FPI under the Department of Justice. Stakeholders or interested parties are encouraged to direct inquiries or correspondence to the Chief of the Strategic Business Development and Marketing Branch at FPI, located in Washington, DC. The point of contact for this notice is Roger M Martineau, who can be reached via email or phone. The solicitation is identified as SBDM-16-2008 and falls under the NAICS code 339113, covering the manufacturing of the specified helmets.
