About this file
This document is a market research attachment for a Sources Sought Notice issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles, seeking potential sources for Coyote Balaclava Hoods (PGC 00547). The market research form includes 19 detailed questions for potential contractors, focusing on company capabilities, manufacturing experience, commercial item availability, production lead times, pricing structure, and contract readiness. The solicitation covers two National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for Small/Medium and Large/X-Large balaclava hoods, with an anticipated annual estimated quantity of 136,800 units and a proposed production lead time of 120 days for the first delivery order and 90 days for subsequent orders.
Interested contractors are required to respond before September 26, 2025, by contacting Roxane Owen or Tiffany Taylor via email. The market research aims to explore potential sources for a long-term contract, with specific inquiries about Berry Compliance, government contracting experience, material pricing stability, domestic material availability, and pricing flexibility. Contractors are asked to provide information about their manufacturing capabilities, SAM registration, DLA internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) access, and willingness to potentially accept an Economic Price Adjustment mechanism that would allow for up to a 10% annual contract price increase.
