About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is conducting market research for Army Hot Weather Combat Boots that are flame resistant, specifically Type II boots in Coyote 498 color. This sources sought notice is gathering information from potential manufacturers regarding their capabilities to produce military footwear that meets stringent Department of Defense specifications, including Berry Amendment compliance requiring domestic production. The boots must feature a direct attach soling system, leather and fabric upper construction, speed lacing, drainage eyelets, and weigh approximately 2.0 pounds per boot with a finished height of 10.5 inches. Manufacturers must demonstrate capacity for producing boots in sizes 2-16 with various width options and comply with comprehensive technical specifications for materials, construction, and performance testing. The original response deadline of October 9, 2025 has been extended to October 20, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST, with this being explicitly identified as a sources sought notice rather than a solicitation for bids or proposals.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The anticipated contract structure is a five-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity agreement divided into five one-year tier periods, with quantities ranging from a minimum of 2,900 pairs to a maximum of 87,000 pairs annually, and an estimated 11,600 pairs per tier period. The production lead time requirement is 150 days for initial delivery, with boots to be delivered to the Pendergrass Distribution Center in Georgia for inspection and acceptance at origin. The contract will include economic price adjustment provisions using Department of Labor indices with a maximum adjustment ceiling of 10 percent, and vendors are expected to provide pricing estimates for each of the five tier periods. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the substantial quantity requirements and five-year duration suggest this represents a significant procurement opportunity for qualified footwear manufacturers.
