All Weather Coat

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is conducting a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential suppliers for All Weather Coats across multiple military branches and uniform types. The notice covers seven specific coat variants, including Men's and Women's versions for Marine Corps, Army Service Dress Uniform (AGSU), Air Force/Coast Guard, and Army Service Uniform (ASU). Interested contractors are required to contact Sorina Tanczos via email at Sorina.Prian-Tanczos@dla.mil or phone at (445)737-3666 before June 13, 2025. This market research initiative is designed to explore potential sources for manufacturing these specialized military outerwear items. The government emphasizes that this is not a formal solicitation and does not obligate any purchase, with future solicitations to be published on SAM.gov.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity appears open to a broad range of contractors. The coats are specified in detailed military specifications, including precise requirements for materials (typically 65% polyester/35% cotton), color variations like Heritage Green 564, and specific design elements such as water-repellent treatment, removable liners, and multiple size configurations. Potential contract volumes span 14 size variations from 30 to 54, with coats designed for different military branches and uniform types. The technical specifications are comprehensive, covering everything from fabric weight and colorfastness to specific construction details like button placement, seam requirements, and quality control measures. While no specific award value is mentioned, the detailed specifications suggest a significant, complex manufacturing contract targeting military uniform procurement.
