Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C122D1563

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles has awarded a series of firm fixed price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and delivery orders to American Apparel, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer, to supply a variety of military uniforms and outerwear. The contracts cover the production of Army Combat Uniforms, Marine Corps utility clothing, and cold weather gear like all-weather coats at American Apparel's facility in Selma, Alabama. The total ceiling values of these IDIQ contracts and associated delivery orders range from under $100,000 to over $3 million. This contracting approach allows DLA Troop Support to efficiently procure essential apparel and equipment from pre-qualified sources as operational needs arise to support warfighter readiness. In addition to the prime contract awards, American Apparel was recently awarded a $1.47 million cooperative agreement by the Department of Defense's Office of the Secretary of Defense under the COVID-19 Defense Production Act Title III program to expand its domestic manufacturing of clothing and textiles for military personnel.

The largest delivery order under the IDIQ contract has a ceiling value of $2.3 million for the provision of all-weather coats. Other recent delivery orders have ranged from $425,700 to $1.1 million for additional quantities of all-weather coats identified by various national stock numbers. All of these awards were made on a firm fixed price basis with no set-aside provisions. The original federal contract opportunity, posted by DLA Troop Support in March 2022, sought proposals for the supply of women's Army Green Service Uniform all-weather coats to outfit military personnel.
