2-Attachment C - Apparel Material MD26-103.pdf

This is an apparel material specification document for a uniform clothing procurement conducted by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing in conjunction with the Department of Public Safety (DPS). The document provides reference material specifications for uniforms worn by DPS sworn officers as part of a broader dry cleaning and laundry services contract opportunity (MD26-103). The specifications detail material compositions for various uniform components including patrol uniform dress jackets, dress shirts, brown shirts, pink tan pants, base shirts, and carriers. Current approved materials include blends such as 55% polyester with 45% wool for jackets and pants, and various polyester and cotton combinations for shirts. The document explicitly notes that all specifications are subject to change at any time and serves as a reference guide for bidders to understand the uniform garment requirements they will be responsible for maintaining through dry cleaning and laundry services.

The document outlines acceptable alternative material compositions for uniform components, including possible replacement options such as mesh fabrics with nylon and spandex blends, 100% polyester twill with stretch properties, and ripstop polyester materials with mechanical stretch capabilities. These alternatives provide flexibility in uniform sourcing while maintaining durability and functionality standards. The specifications apply to the five-year dry cleaning and laundry services contract for DPS sworn officers, with anticipated multiple contract awards to be determined by low bid per county. Vendors responding to this opportunity must guarantee pricing for a minimum of one year from contract award.
