About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is conducting market research for Air Force Combat Temperate Weather Boots for both men and women through this pre-solicitation notice. The agency seeks industry input on manufacturing capabilities for a potential two-year Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract targeting footwear manufacturers under NAICS code 316210. The boots must meet rigorous military specifications including waterproof leather construction, flame resistance, heat resistance, and moisture vapor transmission requirements as defined by NFPA 1971 standards, with delivery to Travis Association for the Blind in Austin, Texas. The survey requests detailed information from potential vendors about production capabilities, commerciality, pricing structures, minimum and maximum monthly production rates, and ability to provide Product Demonstration Models within 30 days of solicitation. Responses to this market research survey were initially due August 27, 2025, but were updated to August 28, 2025, at 3:00 PM Philadelphia time, with a required 150-day production lead time for contract performance.
No set-aside designation is specified for this opportunity, though the survey notes that small businesses are defined as firms employing fewer than 1,000 people under this NAICS code, and the government emphasizes promoting competition among manufacturers. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the documentation. The estimated annual quantity is 68,784 pairs of boots with tiered pricing for each contract year, a guaranteed minimum order of 17,196 pairs, and a maximum contract ceiling of 206,352 pairs over the two-year performance period. The boots are specified in multiple sizes and widths for both men and women, available in two color options: Coyote 498 and Air Force Sage Green 1641. Additionally, vendors must complete a Surge and Sustainment Capability Assessment Plan to demonstrate their ability to meet potential wartime production requirements and ramp-up capabilities.
