About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is conducting market research for the procurement of Buckle, Waist Plate components through a potential 5-year Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract specifically for the Marine Corps. The procurement involves brass buckles that must meet strict Military Detail Specification MIL-DTL-20269F requirements, including precise copper base alloy composition (84.0-86.0% copper) and 24 karat gold plating using Government Furnished Material. The buckles come in three types for use with white web belts on Marine Corps blue gabardine coats, with manufacturing requiring adherence to exact dimensional tolerances, construction methods, and quality control standards. The market research survey seeks industry input on manufacturing capabilities, commercial item availability, pricing stability, material composition, and potential industrial base constraints. Vendors must submit comprehensive responses to the market research questionnaire by August 4, 2025, with delivery required to a 3PL distribution center in Austin, Texas.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The contract structure involves an estimated annual quantity of 40,000 units with a total maximum contract quantity of 300,000 units over the 5-year performance period. Production requirements include an initial lead time of 120 days, which reduces to 90 days for subsequent orders after the initial production run. The procurement will utilize Government Furnished Material for the gold plating process and may include a Materials Cost Economic Price Adjustment clause to account for material cost fluctuations. The survey requests that vendors provide 5-year unit pricing information to assist DLA Troop Support in determining the most effective acquisition strategy for this specialized military hardware requirement.
