Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C118D1020

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a total potential ceiling value of $71,056,800.00 to American Apparel, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer, to provide military uniforms and outerwear. The IDC was established without any small business set-aside provisions. Under this contract, American Apparel has been issued multiple firm fixed price delivery orders to manufacture and deliver Army Combat Uniform (ACU) coats, Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniform (IHWCU) coats, and other combat and utility items in Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) from its production facility in Selma, Alabama. The delivery orders range in value from tens of thousands to several million dollars, with periods of performance typically spanning 6-24 months. This IDC supports the DLA Troop Support's mission to efficiently procure essential military clothing and textiles to outfit and equip U.S. armed forces personnel.

The IDC and associated delivery orders provide a contracting vehicle for the DLA Troop Support to acquire a variety of combat uniforms and protective outerwear as needed to maintain military readiness. As the prime contractor, American Apparel produces the specified items to military specifications at its domestic manufacturing site in Alabama. The firm fixed price delivery order contracts allow the DLA Troop Support to efficiently source these critical apparel items from a pre-qualified supplier over an extended period, rather than conducting separate full and open competitions for each discrete requirement.
