Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C122D1509

Propper International Inc., a major manufacturer and supplier of tactical gear, uniforms, and protective equipment, holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) and Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division, valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. This includes a $135.8 million IDC for military equipment such as belts, field packs, and magazine pouches. Under this IDC, DLA has awarded Propper several delivery orders for the manufacture and delivery of field packs, magazine pouches, and other load-bearing equipment. The delivery orders, valued between $9,571 and $41.5 million, do not have any set-aside designations, indicating Propper's ability to compete successfully in full and open competition. The products are manufactured at Propper's facilities in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, and support the military's operational requirements, including the Department of Defense's COVID-19 pandemic response. DLA Troop Support, which manages the Department of Defense's global supply chain, utilizes these IDC contracts to efficiently procure standardized military apparel and equipment from Propper on an as-needed basis.

The DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division also issued a pre-solicitation notice for a new IDC to manufacture and deliver the MOLLE 4000 modular lightweight load-carrying equipment set and its components over multiple ordering periods. The planned acquisition, which does not have a set-aside designation, will result in a single award with a 10% price evaluation preference for HubZone concerns. The fixed quantity portion requires 50,000 sets with monthly deliveries of 9,000 sets to have a planned production lead time of 180 days after award.
