September 9th, 2013HSGI – M24P Day Pack
September 9th, 2013
High Speed Gear has introduced their brand-new M24P Day Pack. They simplified and refined the design of the M24P from their original “moose” pack line, providing a basic but tough pack that meets the needs of professionals in law enforcement and military and civilians alike. The M24P is large enough for sustainment gear, extra ammunition, medical supplies, and other gear for a rapid deployment, yet small enough to provide versatile storage options. The MP24 is constructed of 1000 Denier nylon, and features padded shoulder straps. The internal compartment has two large mesh pockets that can fit a large armor plate. The M24P is available both with and without exterior PALS webbing, and in solid colors and camouflage patterns. The packs will be sold exclusively through SKD Tactical for a limited time.

Propper Awarded MOLLE Contract
September 9th, 2013Propper was awarded a contract to manufacture new MOLLE systems. At the last minute this procurement was switched to a reverse auction. Good thing Propper won because this could have been disastrous for the Soldier. Reverse auctions mean that your gear is literally made by the lowest bidder. In this instance, Propper is a great company with a commitment to quality. Congrats guys! But let’s hope that this doesn’t hurt them in the long run. These reverse auctions are a race to the bottom for both user and supplier.
Propper International Inc., Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, has been awarded a maximum $137,828,391 firm-fixed-price contract for modular lightweight load carrying equipment. This contract includes thirty-one contract line items with various minimum and maximum quantities for each. Location of performance is Puerto Rico, with a Sept. 5, 2014 performance completion date. Using military services are Army, and Air Force. Type of appropriation is fiscal 2014 defense working capital funds. The contracting activity is the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, Philadelphia, Pa., (SPM1C1-13-D-1062).
