Kandor Manufacturing Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm located in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, holds several significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles program. These IDCs, valued up to $16.4 million, $193.6 million, $7.6 million, and $10.9 million, allow the DLA to efficiently and flexibly procure a variety of military uniform components such as undershirts, coats, trousers, blouses, and maternity wear for U.S. armed forces. The work is primarily performed at Kandor's manufacturing facilities in Arecibo. In addition to the federal contract work, Kandor Manufacturing receives grant sub-awards from the Puerto Rico Department of Economic Development and Commerce as part of the U.S. Department of Labor's Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs, which support employment and training initiatives in the local community.
The original solicitation for this IDV contract was a pre-solicitation notice that sought proposals for two fixed-price contracts to supply Navy two-piece flame resistant uniform coats and trousers to the DLA Troop Support. One contract was to be awarded to a HUBZone small business under Lot 1, and one to a small business under Lot 2. The contracts have a 12-month base period with option terms, and require the offeror to meet certain specifications and production lead times. The solicitation was set aside totally for small businesses and used the Best Value Trade Off source selection method.
