OEM custom tactical gear enables government buyers to define specifications, including ballistic level, IRR fabrics, camouflage, and branding. Yakeda offers comprehensive OEM/ODM services, including NIJ certification and tender-ready documentation.
What Is OEM Custom Tactical Gear?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) tactical gear goes beyond manufacturing standard vests or backpacks.
It means producing equipment tailored to each buyer’s exact specifications:
- Ballistic protection level — soft armor (NIJ IIIA) or hard armor (NIJ IV). Learn more
- IRR compliance for night vision stealth
- Camouflage pattern matching for NATO and national specs
- Agency branding, patches, and identification
Yakeda acts as both an OEM and ODM manufacturer, enabling buyers to obtain equipment that aligns with their operational goals and tender requirements.
Why Governments Request OEM Solutions
The government rarely accepts off-the-shelf products. Instead, contracts demand customization:
- Identification & Branding: Police insignia, military patches, QR-coded labels
- Camouflage & IRR: NATO-approved patterns (e.g., Multicam, Coyote Brown) with IRR compliance
- Ballistic Ratings: Tenders specify NIJ IIIA, III, or IV levels for vests and plates
- Documentation: Certified NIJ reports, IRR lab tests, ISO factory compliance
