About this opportunity
DLA Troop Support, Clothing and Textiles, anticipates issuing a Total Small Business solicitation for one Firm-Fixed Price, Definite Quantity contract for the Air Force Men's Lightweight Jacket, with market research responses due by close of business November 9, 2026. The 9-month performance period covers NSN 8405-01-298-6893, governed by MIL-J-87250, with an estimated maximum quantity of 28,176 units (approximately 3,131 monthly), per the attached Market Research Survey. Delivery is to Travis Association for the Blind AF & MC 3PL Distribution Services in Austin, Texas (DoDAAC SD0131), and the requirement supports military customers worldwide. The specification calls for a polyester/wool gabardine outer shell in USAF Color Blue, Shade 1605, with a removable liner, first article inspection, and packaging in 12-unit hanger packs with bar-coded tags displaying the 13-digit NSN and 12-digit UPC. Respondents must address Berry Amendment domestic sourcing compliance and confirm a 150-day production lead time for the first incremental delivery. Respondents must also provide current pricing, minimum and maximum monthly production capacity, manufacturing lead times, minimum quantity requirements, a CAGE code, and a signed company statement. The survey also asks whether a 30-day proposal submission period is feasible. Responses go to Earl Joyner at Earl.joyner@dla.mil, who also handles questions. This is market research only: it is not a solicitation for offers, and responses are non-binding and confidential.
