The solicitation, No. SPE1C1-17-R-0067, sought between 9,090 and 45,450 pairs of boots over the base term and four option years, with a 120-day production lead time. The boots were required to be manufactured in accordance with the Weinbrenner Stock #803-7700 specification or equal. The contract was to be awarded on a best value basis, evaluating factors such as product demonstration models and past performance.
