Source: the Sourcewell contract holders’ price lists and discount schedules (#091924 body armor, and Safeware’s #080922), dated Nov 2022 to May 2026, imported 2026-09-30. The six types count armor only: pouches, patches and gear are left out. A derived price is a published discount applied to the MSRP another list prints, not a quote. Prices twice as far apart as each other usually mean two products under one code, and are marked. Confirm with the contract holder before buying. The contract, its term and its eligible buyers are on its contract vehicle page.
