Agency applications

Relevant procurement uses include SWAT/tactical head protection and law-enforcement helmets requiring model-specific ballistic, fragmentation and trauma-reduction documentation. The manufacturer's broader AS-223 family includes multiple cuts and component configurations; do not assume that options on other AS-223 pages are included with this particular SKU.

Buyer FAQs

Is the AS-223 identical to the AS-200?
No. ArmorSource positions the AS-223 around additional reduced-trauma testing; compare the exact models and current reports, not just their Level IIIA descriptions.

Does “NIJ Level IIIA” mean NIJ-certified helmet?
No. It describes a manufacturer-reported helmet performance level. NIJ CTP certification is for eligible torso-worn armor models; verify the specific helmet test results.

Can department size runs be quoted?
Yes. Provide head sizes, cut, required mounts/rails, color, quantities, delivery deadline and requested test documentation in the department RFQ form.

Is this SKU currently on GSA?
Eligibility must be checked against the current awarded catalog and the exact configured item; do not assume this SKU is available under the GSA contract.
