About this opportunity
Marine Corps Systems Command issued a special notice soliciting industry feedback on Draft A-A-50531B, a Commercial Item Description for water-repellent poplin cloth composed of polyester and cotton, with comments due by August 6, 2026. This is not a solicitation; MARCORSYSCOM is preparing draft specifications and standards to promote adaptability in design and production methodologies by encouraging reviews from a broad vendor base across NAICS 313210 (fabric mills).
The draft specification establishes requirements for a 65 percent polyester and 35 percent cotton blend fabric with plain weave construction, defining physical properties including weight of 5.3 to 6.8 ounces per square yard, minimum yarn counts of 108 per inch (warp) and 68 per inch (filling), and breaking strength of 185 pounds (warp) and 70 pounds (filling). Water repellency is specified by spray ratings of 100/100/90 initially and 70/70/70 after three laundering cycles, with hydrostatic pressure of 30 centimeters initially and 25 centimeters after laundering. The fabric must meet colorfastness standards for laundering, perspiration, crocking, and lightfastness, and comply with toxicity assessment requirements for prolonged direct skin contact. Testing follows AATCC and ASTM methods.
Vendors must submit feedback using the Consolidated Comments Form via email to USMC_STDZ@usmc.mil, with the subject line referencing document number A-A-50531B. After adjudication of comments, the final specification will be published on ASSIST Online.
