About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is seeking qualified vendors to manufacture three items of military flight jackets: the CWU-45P cold weather jacket in sage green, the CWU-36P summer weather jacket in sage green, and the CWU-36P summer weather jacket in tan. This pre-solicitation notice precedes the formal solicitation SPE1C1-25-R-0100, which was issued on October 3, 2025. A critical requirement for prospective vendors is possession of Computer Aided Design (CAD) software Gerber AccuMark, storage area version 9 or higher, as the government will furnish digital patterns exclusively in AccuMark zip file format and will not convert to alternative formats or downgrade to version 8; paper patterns are available upon request during the solicitation phase. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on July 15, 2025, with an initial due date of July 29, 2025, allowing potential bidders time to prepare questions and gather information before the formal solicitation process commences.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualifying small businesses only. The contract encompasses a two-year ordering period divided into two 12-month price tier periods, with a combined minimum quantity of 10,156 units across all three jacket items and a maximum quantity of 101,520 units, subject to a monthly shipping cap of 4,230 units. The estimated quantity per item is approximately 40,000 units each, though the actual distribution among the three items will be determined through the ordering period. The lead National Stock Number is 8415-01-608-2481, and the procurement utilizes purchase descriptions dated April 4, 2025. Vendors must be capable of working with government-furnished electronic patterns via the specified CAD software and meet all requirements outlined in the purchase descriptions for both the flight jackets and the flame-resistant woven plain cloth material referenced in purchase description 11-PD-25-001.
