The document is a detailed uniform issuance list for U.S. Border Patrol Academy recruits, outlining specific clothing and equipment items to be issued during initial training. In fiscal year 2026, 71 Border Patrol classes are scheduled, with each class projected to have 60 students. The uniform items are categorized into two groups: items issued in the first week of class (including tactical boots, badge pin, slash-resistant gloves, and fleece hat) and items issued prior to graduation (including dress uniforms, jackets, dress pants, shirts, ties, hats, and various performance and duty shirts and pants).

The uniform issuance list corresponds with the related DHS-wide Uniforms III contract (Solicitation Number 70B01C26R00000004), which is an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle for uniform procurement across DHS components. The contract covers approximately 135,000 employees, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection designated as the Executive Agent. The procurement is subject to the Kissell Amendment, requiring domestic sourcing of textile items, and has a performance period of three base years with four potential option years. The contract will facilitate uniform purchases for DHS components located throughout the United States and foreign locations.
