Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C114D1040

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles awarded a series of firm fixed price delivery orders to American Apparel, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of goods, to supply all-weather coats for the U.S. military. These orders were issued under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract vehicle, which allows DLA Troop Support to efficiently procure essential apparel and gear from pre-qualified sources as needs arise to support warfighter readiness. The contract has no set-aside designations and requires manufacturing operations to be performed at American Apparel's facility in Selma, Alabama. The individual delivery order values range from hundreds of dollars to over $2 million, with a total potential contract value exceeding $99 million. Through this contract, American Apparel provides a wide range of military uniforms and cold weather outerwear, including Army Combat Uniforms and Marine Corps utility clothing, to the Department of Defense.

The purpose of this IDV contract is to establish pricing and delivery terms with a qualified manufacturer to supply critical all-weather coats for U.S. armed forces personnel. By leveraging an ID/IQ contracting approach, the DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles can efficiently acquire these essential uniform items on an as-needed basis to equip warfighters and maintain military preparedness. American Apparel's domestic manufacturing capabilities and history of supplying high-quality military apparel make it a suitable prime contractor for this requirement.
