DLA Aviation is looking for a company to provide competition for this backpack originally manufactured by Harris, corp.  It is standard issue to carry the PRC-150 and PRC-117  high frequency radios.  The backpack is 12″ x 18″ x 3″, and is padded to prevent damage to the equipment it holds.

Currently the only supplier is Harris, corporation, selling the bags for $181.47 each in quantities from 7 to 120. DOD has an estimated unit price of $327.78, but the bags can be found online for around $90.

DLA has determined that with more competition, they could see better pricing.  As a result, they are inviting contractors to consider making these. There are no technical drawings nor data package, but DLA has samples of the bag on hand that contractors can either purchase or borrow to reverse engineer.

DLA estimates annual purchases of 1,221 units at an estimated total of $298,583.  There is no closing date for this opportunity, but other companies will try to obtain samples and quantities might be limited.
