Per the JUSTICE TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION CENTER (NIJ 0101.06 Standard), "If you have identified M855 or other similarly designed steel core ammunition as a potential threat, a Level IV plate is the best choice for protection...." The SOW herein identified M855 as a potential threat, should not this requirement be for Level IV Ballistic Plates?

Can the plate be assembled in the US from imported material qualify as US MADE?

Can I please have until 25 MAY 2022?

Is it 500 plates total, or 500 sets?

Can you please find out what the End User means by “set” in section 2.6 of the SOW? Each set of rifle plates will have matching serial numbers The rest of the specs are not an issue, but the UOM for each line is “EA” with no specification on what a “set” calls out.

5.56X45 is listed twice in the specification but only one shows M193. Will this plate need to protect against M855 62gr as well?

NIJ Level 3 and .300 Win Mag? At what distance and what impacting velocity? That’s well outside of any NIJ level 3 requirement and outside of NIJ level 4 if you take kinetic energy into consideration: 7.62x51 M80 147 grain bullet at 2,780 fps develops 2,553 ft lbs. of energy (NIJ level 3 standard) 7.62x63 (30-06) M2AP 160 grain bullet at 2,880 fps develops 2,947 ft lbs of energy (NIJ level 4 standard) .300 Win Mag 180 grain bullet at 3,000 fps develops 3,558 ft lbs of energy The thickness is called out as between .55 and .75 inches. Is this an ICW solution or a standalone? No one is going to have an NIJ certified level 3 solution that can meet that requirement with the drop standard. Also, how many impacts? They don’t specify, just ’stop shots from’ How many and what bullet description? For the 7.62x39: M67, M43, BZ? For 5.56x45: M193, M855, M855A1? For 7.62x51: M80, M80A1? .300 Win Mag?? Plus, what back face signature are they asking for on the non-standard threats? Still within the 44mm proscribed in NIJ 0101.06?

'.300 Win Mag' is a non-standard threat and not tested against. Would the USG consider removing this from the requirement?

Would a 1” 3lbs plate be acceptable?

Is this ICW or STAND ALONE?

Is this 350 sets(2 ea) for a total of 700 each individual plates of Level III+ Rifle Plate Size 10”x12” or Is this 175 sets(2 ea) for a total of 350 each individual plates of Level III+ Rifle Plate Size 10”x12”? Basically are you asking for individual plate pricing or plate Set pricing? and the same for the other size Is this 150 sets(2 ea) for a total of 300 each individual plates of Level III+ Rifle Plate Size 8”x10” or Is this 75 sets(2 ea) for a total of 150 each individual plates of Level III+ Rifle Plate Size 8”x10?

Will the USG accept an NIJ-certified plate that offers in-conjunction with (ICW) protection?

QUESTION FROM SELLER: NIJ Level 3 and .300 Win Mag? At what distance and what impacting velocity? That’s well outside of any NIJ level 3 requirement and outside of NIJ level 4 if you take kinetic energy into consideration: 7.62x51 M80 147 grain bullet at 2,780 fps develops 2,553 ft lbs. of energy (NIJ level 3 standard) 7.62x63 (30-06) M2AP 160 grain bullet at 2,880 fps develops 2,947 ft lbs of energy (NIJ level 4 standard) .300 Win Mag 180 grain bullet at 3,000 fps develops 3,558 ft lbs of energy The thickness is called out as between .55 and .75 inches. Is this an ICW solution or a standalone? No one is going to have an NIJ certified level 3 solution that can meet that requirement with the drop standard. Also, how many impacts? They don’t specify, just ’stop shots from’ which is really poor wording, even for Air Marshals. How many and what bullet description? For the 7.62x39: M67, M43, BZ? For 5.56x45: M193, M855, M855A1? For 7.62x51: M80, M80A1? .300 Win Mag?? Plus, what back face signature are they asking for on the non-standard threats? Still within the 44mm proscribed in NIJ 0101.06? The difficult one is going to be that .300 Win Mag. If they take out the .300 Win Mag, then the 3810 will meet the ballistic requirement if they don’t want any of the enhanced rounds (i.e. M855A1 and M80A1), but not the thickness; it’s .95 inches. If they really want that thickness then the 4800LV will likely meet all the requirements, but I don’t have any testing data on the .300 Win Mag. It’s also a 3-shot plate for M80 and everything else. M80A1 is single shot because that is a really difficult round to defeat. Need some answers, but if they don’t have any, I’d propose the 4800LV and let them determine if it meets their specification. But, like I said we don’t have any data on the .300 Win Mag because we’ve never been asked for that threat. We can get it, but it will take some time and it will cost some money.

1st question: the call out states “side plate 8x10” this is the size of a small torso plate - can you please clarify on the call out? 2nd question: what exactly constitutes a set?

Do these plates need to be U.S made?
