Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C123D0061

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division has awarded multiple firm fixed-price delivery order contracts to Burlington Industries LLC, a major domestic manufacturer of specialized textiles and advanced performance fabrics. These delivery orders, valued from the hundreds of thousands to several million dollars, are part of a larger Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) that Burlington Industries holds with the agency, covering the provision of various textile products essential for military uniforms, gear, and equipment. The contracted textile materials include serge cloth, gabardine cloth, tropical cloth, elastique cloth, and woven roving cloth. These specialized products are necessary to meet the rigorous specifications required by the U.S. military. The IDC enables the Defense Logistics Agency to maintain a steady supply of critical textile materials from a trusted domestic manufacturer to equip America's armed forces. None of the contracts have a set-aside designation, demonstrating Burlington Industries' competitive capabilities in textile manufacturing. Additionally, the company has received significant federal grant funding to support the sustainment and optimization of its domestic textile production capabilities, which are vital to national defense objectives.

The Defense Logistics Agency also recently issued a market survey seeking information to develop a solicitation for a two-piece flame resistant uniform contract for the Navy. The potential multi-year contract would cover the provision of coats and trousers in blue and khaki colors, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 20,000 to 120,000 units over the possible five-year period. This appears to be an opportunity for new contractors, as no incumbent is named, though specific award values were not provided in the market survey. The goal of this procurement is to maintain a steady domestic supply of flame resistant military uniforms to equip Navy personnel.
