Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C119D1178

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Outdoor Venture Corporation, an SBA-certified HUBZone small business manufacturer, for the production and delivery of textile-based shelter systems, tents, and related expeditionary equipment. The $14,168,672.71 IDC, awarded on July 31, 2019, enables DLA to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for a diverse range of textile products to support military readiness and government operations. Through this contract vehicle and subsequent task orders, Outdoor Venture has provided items such as modular command post tents, lightweight shelters, cable assemblies, and other specialized components, primarily to DLA Troop Support but also to other defense and civilian agencies. The majority of the task orders issued to date have been on an unrestricted basis, without the use of small business set-asides, with work performed at Outdoor Venture's manufacturing facility in Stearns, Kentucky. This IDC demonstrates Outdoor Venture's role as a key supplier of critical textile-based equipment to the U.S. federal government.

The original solicitation for this IDC, issued by DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles in July 2018, sought proposals for the manufacture and delivery of modular command post tents, tent systems, and related textile products. The unrestricted solicitation aimed to establish a firm fixed-price IDIQ contract with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, with an overall annual order limitation of 3,125 units. The contract requires compliance with the Berry Amendment, which restricts the DoD's acquisition of foreign-made textile items, and includes provisions for first article testing and delivery to government warehouses in Pennsylvania and California.
