The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles has awarded multiple firm fixed price delivery orders to American Apparel, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer, under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle. These orders, valued from under $100,000 to over $3 million, cover the production of Army Combat Uniform (ACU) coats, blouses, and female variants, as well as all-weather coats, at American Apparel's facility in Selma, Alabama. The contracts do not include any set-aside designations.
The DLA Troop Support, which is responsible for providing clothing and textiles to the U.S. Armed Forces, has leveraged these IDIQ contracts to efficiently procure essential military uniforms and outerwear from pre-qualified sources like American Apparel as needs arise to support readiness. The delivery order awards span several years, with periods of performance generally running 1-2 years. This contracting approach allows the DLA to maintain a reliable supply of combat and utility apparel to equip warfighters across all military branches.
