The contract, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division, covers the manufacture and delivery of Cloth, Navy, P/W, Tropical, Blue Shade #3346 over a four-year period. The IDC allows the DLA to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for various textile materials needed to equip U.S. armed forces, supporting the agency's mission to maintain a steady domestic supply of critical textile products. The contract, which has an ultimate completion date of December 12, 2028, was awarded on December 13, 2024 without any set-aside designations. The original pre-solicitation notice sought proposals for 247,584 yards of the specified cloth to be delivered annually, with a maximum contract quantity of 1,386,472 yards. The procurement is intended to support the production of military uniforms, gear, and equipment, as well as correctional facility needs, through the provision of high-quality, specialized textile materials.
In addition to the IDC, Burlington Industries LLC holds other substantial federal contracts with the DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division, as well as an IDC with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons to provide polyester fabric for manufacturing at UNICOR facilities. The company has also received significant federal grant funding, including a $6.88 million cooperative agreement from the Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service under the Defense Production Act Title III program, to support the sustainment and optimization of worsted wool fabric production, a critical national defense capability.
