The U.S. Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) at Fort Sam Houston awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Pacific Continental Clothing, Inc., a minority-owned small business, to procure 120,000 USA-made hooded sweatshirts in black for ROTC, U.S. Army, and Army Reserve units. The $9,997,200 contract has a period of performance through February 2, 2026 and was set aside for total small business participation. The sweatshirts must be made of at least 50% U.S. grown cotton and comply with the Berry Amendment domestic manufacturing requirements. Offerors were required to submit 3 pre-award samples for technical compliance verification, but no custom Army imprinting was needed. The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed-price basis, and the government will aggressively enforce the Berry Amendment. This is a new requirement with no incumbent contractor.
The purpose of this contract is to provide the Army with a reliable domestic source of high-quality, American-made hooded sweatshirts to outfit ROTC, active duty, and reserve personnel. The items must meet strict material content and manufacturing origin requirements to comply with the Berry Amendment, which mandates the use of U.S. grown and produced textiles in military clothing purchases. Ensuring the availability of these essential uniform items supports the readiness and morale of Army units.
