CAIMAN MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, AND REFURBISHMENT

The Department of State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS/PSP/DEAV) issued this Request for Information to gauge market capability for “CAIMAN” helmet maintenance, repair, and refurbishment services. The Government seeks firms that can inspect, refurbish, and re‑certify ballistic helmets to a factory‑new condition, meet NIJ Standard 0106.01, and reset the warranty to seven years. Required deliverables include a detailed project plan, market‑research and technology reports, test plans and schedules, procurement and execution of testing on government‑approved samples, comprehensive test reports, and a final recommendation report. Performance standards call for accurate schedules, weekly status briefings to government staff, and documentation that supports decision‑making; verification will occur at DS/PSP/DEAV facilities in Springfield, VA. The effort is anticipated for a one‑year base period with four one‑year options. Respondents must submit a capabilities statement and narrative (up to 20 double‑spaced pages in .doc or .pdf) by 2:00 PM January 15 2026, including vendor name, GSA MAS contract number, size/socio‑economic status, point‑of‑contact, and answers to the listed questions. Submissions are to be emailed to Wanda Cruz (cc Richard Crum); all costs of response are borne by the respondent. The solicitation is for information only and does not obligate the Government to award a contract.
