Dragon Skin SOV 2000 Certification Revoked
By Slab
The Department of Justice announced yesterday that they are revoking Pinnacle Armor's National Institute of Justice (NIJ) certification for the SOV 2000.1/MIL3AF01. Some of you may recall that Soldiers For The Truth loudly trumpeted the SOV 2000's certification back in December of last year. What many overlook is that the SOV 2000 was certified for Level III, which does not include armor piercing ammunition, and was not being considered to replace the Interceptor.
Add to this the Air Force's call for the debarment of Pinnacle Armor following their purchase of falsely labeled SOV 2000 vests, and it looks like Mr Neal has some 'splainin' to do. Mr Neal claims that the National Institute of Justice gave him verbal permission to label his armor Level III compliant eight months before the NIJ released their letter actually certifying the SOV 2000.
The saga continues.

Anyone who's ever worked with the government procurement knows that you need back up everything with clearly traceable documentation and certifications, often made in triplicate to CYA.
Verbal permission... laugh. That made my day.
