The Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground has a requirement for Modular Scalable Vests which provide Soldiers with a lightweight, modular, scalable, mission specific protective equipment system to maximize protection and mobility, allowing field commanders and Soldiers to select the personal protective equipment tier best suited for the planned mission. The MSV component consists of a concealable vest, which includes a cummerbund with two soft armor panels (one front and one back) covered in a camouflage cloth with hook and loop. In addition, MSV includes two side plate pockets with two side soft armor panels, and a tactical outer carrier which includes side plate pocket carriers and shoulder straps. The soft armor panels can be augmented with hard armor protective inserts or can be inserted into the tactical outer carrier that also accommodates hard armor protective inserts. The MSV is the base component of the TEP and it can be configured to provide varying degrees of Soldier protection while reducing weight to the greatest extent possible. The MSV is the basis of the TEP system Tiers 1 through 4. The scope of work for this requirement includes all procurement and production activities necessary to manufacture the carrier, soft armor ballistic package, and other materials that constitute the SPS TEP MSV.
