About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is seeking to procure Army Hot Weather Fire-Resistant (FR) Safety Boots for men through a Pre-Solicitation Notice posted on October 30, 2025. The boots must be coyote-colored, flame-resistant combat boots manufactured in compliance with specification PD 09-02D and must meet rigorous military standards including specific quality assurance provisions, barcode labeling requirements, and packaging standards per MIL-STD-147 and MIL-STD-129. Key contract requirements include compliance with the Berry Amendment, requiring all clothing and textile items to be grown, reprocessed, reused, melted, or produced in the United States, and adherence to strict packaging and marking specifications for shipment to the Pendergrass Distribution Center in Georgia. The government will evaluate proposals using best value tradeoff source selection procedures with two primary evaluation factors: Product Demonstration Model and Past Performance Confidence Assessment. Interested vendors should monitor the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) for solicitation details, and the primary contracting contacts are Ronald Ball and Clifford Lawson at the Defense Logistics Agency in Philadelphia.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, restricting competition to small business concerns. The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement anticipated for three years with tiered pricing. The procurement includes a guaranteed minimum quantity of 2,900 boots, an annual estimated quantity of 11,600 boots, and a maximum contract quantity of 52,200 boots over the contract period. Production lead times vary by order type: 21 days for recruit orders, 60 days for non-recruit orders, and 180 days for tariff sizes. No incumbent contractor is identified in this Pre-Solicitation Notice, and specific award values are not disclosed at this preliminary stage; however, vendors should anticipate substantial volume requirements given the estimated annual quantities and three-year contract term.
