Subject: FY 2005 BVP Award Announcement
Congratulations! The Office of Justice Programs' Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) has
completed processing your application for FY 2005 SvP funds. The complete list of FY 2005
awards can be viewed at http://vests.ojp.gov ,
In upcoming weeks you will receive instructions for submitting direct, online payment
requests for BVP funds. Until then, please review carefully the latest information below
regarding body armor teating, as well as a special solicitation to help agencies with
their vest replacement reeds. Should your FY 2005 BVP application include requeets for
vests containing Zylonle BJA will assist you in determining which type of armor vest will
best suit your jurisdiction's needs, to ensure that each armor vest obtained through the
program meets the NIT requirements.
NOTICE TO BVP GRANTEES
Since 1999, over 11,500 jurisdictions have participated in the Office of Justice
Programs' Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Program.
Through pvP, $118 million in federal funds have been committed to support the purchase of
an estimated 450,000 vests for America's law enforcement community.
In November 2003, Attorney General John Aeheroft announced a Body Armor Safety Initiative
in response to the failure of a bullet-resistant vest worn by a police officer in
Pennsylvania. NIJ was directed to initiate an examination of ZylonGebased bullet-
resistant vests ( both new and used) and to review the existing program by which bullet-
resistant vests are tes:ed to determine if the program needs modification.
paving completed its latest phase of ballistic and mechanical properties testing, NJ has
determined that used Zylong - containing vests may riot provide the intended level of
ballistic resistance. In response to this determination, N1J has issued a body armor
standard advisory notice concerning Zylon0 , and has issued new interim requirements for
its body armor compliance testing program that will become effective on September 26,
2005. Until the effective date of the interim requirements, jurisdictions that
participate in the BVP program will be ineligible to receive payment for new orders placed
for any body armor vest that contains Zylone. once the NIJ interim requirements become
effective, a list of vest models that comply will be maintained at:
http://www.justnet.orge
Pursuant to the FY 2005 Department of Justice Appropriations Act, $2a.6 million was made
available for the purchase of vests through the annual EV? Program application process.
To better meet the vest replacement needs of America's law enforcement agencies this year,
Attorney General Albereo Gonzales will make an additional $10 million available
immediately. This additional funding will be available through a special BVP solicitatior
that will open on Auguet 24, 2005 and close on September 22, 2005.
