About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is conducting market research for the procurement of approximately 3,890 pairs of 13-inch Firemen's Boots, Type II (Knee) across 11 sizes ranging from 5-15. DLA anticipates issuing a solicitation in August 2025 for a one-year Firm-Fixed Price, Simplified Indefinite Delivery Contract to enhance support for military customers worldwide. The procurement requires boots from approved non-domestic manufacturers including specific part numbers: Honeywell Ranger 1500, Thorogood Hellfire #807-6000, and Black Diamond #9451. This market research survey seeks industry input on manufacturing capabilities, production capacities, pricing strategies, and optimal contract terms to determine the most efficient acquisition approach. The agency requires responses to their detailed questionnaire by August 7, 2025, at 3:00 PM Philadelphia time, with all information to remain confidential. DLA emphasizes this is strictly market research and not a request for bids or proposals.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and will be open to full and open competition. The contract has a maximum dollar value of $7,500,000, with delivery required to Peckham Vocational Industries in Lansing, Michigan. The agency is specifically seeking feedback from industry on how many contracts are necessary, appropriate contract length, and the number of companies interested in competing for this requirement. DLA's acquisition strategy aims to promote competition while ensuring a viable industrial base for supplying firemen's boots to military personnel. The one-year base term contract structure reflects the agency's intent to establish a streamlined procurement vehicle for this specialized protective footwear requirement.
