Technical requirements: It is crucial that the "safeguard"system on the holsters does not change because of the "muscle memory" of the soldiers. The "muscle memory" ensures a quick response from the soldiers which in time of war can be the difference between life and death.
A change in the "safeguard system" could mean a slower response from the soldiers and an increased risk of accidental shots.
DALO has in the past purchased systems through a Framework Agreement with Safariland LLC/CT Solution.
The items from the expired agreement as well as the new agreement shall have low IR and be blood repellent. Furthermore the items shall work in extreme environments with temperatures from -40 — +50 Celcius and in salt water.
The holsters shall be available in the colors white, black or Tan and shall be available in variants with TLL (Tactical light laser) and MRDS (red dot sight).
If the holsters are bought from another supplier than Safariland LLC/CT Solution they would not be interoperable with the current system, which would mean, that DALO are forced to buy the 4 platforms as well.
The design of the system is a modular click system which means that the holster can be placed in different positions on the platforms placed on the soldier. The click system is not compatible with other systems on the market.
DALO have approximately 4 500 platforms and other accessories at our disposal which the new holsters must fit into and be compatible with.
