Buyer questions

Is this shield NIJ certified?

No. It is tested, not certified. Level III+ is a manufacturer rifle-threat description, not an NIJ certification category for ballistic shields. Procurement should rely on the manufacturer's test documentation for the exact model.

Are viewport versions available?

Yes, selected sizes are offered with or without viewports.

How should an agency request pricing?

Submit an RFQ with the exact variant SKU, quantity, destination and required delivery date.
