The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division (DLA Troop Support) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Burlington Industries LLC, a major domestic manufacturer of specialized textiles and advanced performance fabrics primarily serving the U.S. military. The contract, valued up to $11.891 million, covers the provision of various types of cloth including serge, gabardine, tropical, and elastique fabrics essential for military uniform and equipment production. Burlington Industries will perform the work at its facilities in North Carolina without any set-aside designations. The agency can issue firm fixed-price delivery orders to Burlington Industries over the 3-5 year contract period as needs arise, enabling DLA Troop Support to maintain a steady supply of critical textile materials from a trusted domestic manufacturer to equip America's armed forces. Several delivery orders have already been awarded under the IDC, with ceiling values ranging from approximately $1 million to $2.1 million for the procurement of tropical khaki cloth to support the agency's clothing and textiles requirements.

The solicitation was posted as unrestricted with a best value acquisition approach considering past performance and socioeconomic program support. The contract is subject to the Berry Amendment restrictions on the Department of Defense's acquisition of foreign products and services for clothing and textile items.
