ICVC JA_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for Improved Combat Vehicle Crewman (ICVC) Coveralls issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Clothing and Textiles Supply Chain. The document seeks to solicit coveralls from Propper International, the only current producer of ICVC coveralls, through a non-competitive procurement to maintain production capabilities for critical military protective clothing.

Key details include a quantity of 54,000 coveralls with specific National Stock Numbers, to be manufactured by Propper International. The current contract (SPE1C1-20-D-1205) is ending in October 2025, and this procurement will "bridge the gap" until a competitive long-term contract is awarded in January 2026. The coveralls are a flame-resistant protective garment designed for combat vehicle crew members, with critical features including extraction capabilities and protection from flash and flame fires. The justification emphasizes maintaining industrial base readiness and ensuring continuous production of these essential military garments during potential mobilization, war, and contingency operations.
