This is the verified community for body-armor procurement professionals.
What you'll find here:
- **Regulatory discussion** — state + federal change, AG opinions, enforcement edge cases
- **Procurement workflow** — BVP cycle, cooperative contracts, RFP language, female-fit and corrections nuance
- **Products + NIJ standards** — 0101.06 / 0101.07, CPL listings, warranty cycles
- **Tools + feedback** — platform requests; we read this daily
**Tiers**: registered users can post in most categories. Procurement workflow requires verified-industry status — apply at /verify.
**Moderation**: SMEs can pin, lock, and remove posts. Spam and vendor solicitation get removed on sight. If a thread is useful but off-topic, we'll move it rather than delete.
