Point Blank Solutions Submits New Bid for Improved Outer Tactical Vests in Response to U.S. Army’s Request for Modification on Existing Solicitations

Pompano Beach, Florida, January 21, 2009 – Point Blank Solutions, Inc. (“PBSI”, OTC Pink Sheets: PBSO.PK), a leader in the field of protective body armor, today announced that the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Contracting Center (“RDECOM”) issued a Request for Proposal (“RFP”), extending the existing contract for Improved Outer Tactical Vests (“IOTVs”). On January 20^th, in response to a letter received from RDECOM, the Company submitted its bid to produce an additional 75,000 IOTVs at a rate of 25,000 IOTVs per month for the three months beginning April 2009.

The proposed modification to W91CRB-07-C-0085 (“the Solicitation”) was issued as a “Bridge Buy” in order to meet ongoing fielding requirements. Point Blank Body Armor (“PBBA”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and one other company are the only two recognized sources that have US Army tested and approved ballistic material packages, are proven producers of the IOTV, and have the manufacturing capabilities to meet the current IOTV production and performance requirements. The award will be based on the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal.

Point Blank Body Armor continues to produce IOTVs under the first $86.2 million extension of the current “Bridge Buy for the production of 150,000 IOTVs. Production is expected to be completed by March 2009. The Government has indicated that IOTVs produced under the existing and future bridge buy are in addition to the 736,000 IOTVs and 238,000 Deltoid and Axillary Protection Systems (DAPS) currently awaiting an award decision under solicitation W91CRB-07-R-0079 in the second quarter of 2009.
