2. SCOPE

Program Manager, Infantry Combat Equipment (PM ICE), Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), has a requirement for a government-designed, Berry Amendment compliant, next to skin mesh base layer. The mesh base layer is a supplement to the current Marine Corps Cold Weather Layering System to improve moisture management, thermal performance and dry out time in extreme cold weather environments. The Mesh Cold Weather Base Layer (MCWBL) consists of one undershirt and one drawer in Coyote 498 color. The undershirt and drawers are constructed with an open net like mesh material with a rib knit collar and cuffs, jersey knit reinforced knee patches, jersey knit inner thigh gussets, a two ply functional fly, and an elastic waistband with an integrated drawstring cord.

The vast majority of Marines fit within the size tariff contained within the

MCWBLTechnical Packages, MCWBL UNDERSHIRT TECH PACK 2021E and MCWBL DRAWERS TECH PACK 2021E (Attachment 002 and Attachment 003, respectively); however, there will be a small number of Marines (estimated between 1-10 per year) who will routinely require a special size. These Marines may require a special measurement for the MCWBL and the Contractor shall have the flexibility to accommodate this special measurement requirement.
