The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) intends to award a sole-source extension for the Family of Tactical Helmet Systems (FTHS) to Gentex Corporation, located in Simpson, Pennsylvania. This action extends the ordering period of the current Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract, H9240319D0003, for up to 12 months, shifting the expiration date from August 11, 2026, to August 10, 2027. The Program Executive Office-Special Operations Forces Warrior Program Management Protection and Integration requires this extension to maintain supplies while completing an ongoing competition for prototype ground ballistic helmets. USSOCOM cites the duplication of costs and unacceptable delays associated with a competitive interim award as the basis for this sole-source justification.
The scope of this procurement is classified under NAICS 339999 All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing and PSC 8465 INDIVIDUAL EQUIPMENT. This special notice, identified by solicitation number H92403_FTHS_Ballistic_Helmets, serves as a notice of intent rather than a request for competitive proposals. The performance of these requirements will occur in Simpson, Pennsylvania.
Responses to this notice are due by June 24, 2026. Submissions and inquiries are directed to the primary point of contact, Carlos Cotto, and must be sent in writing via email. While there are currently zero attachments associated with this notice, the extension is intended to provide administrative bridge coverage until a successful performer is selected under the separate 10 USC 4022 Other Transaction Authority prototype project competition for follow-on production.
