About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Eustis is seeking to procure Cadet Swim Trunks for the Logistics Readiness Center at the United States Military Academy. This sources sought notice is issued to identify qualified small business vendors capable of meeting the requirement on a small business set-aside basis, contingent upon receiving responses from at least two qualified small businesses. The swim trunks must meet detailed technical specifications including 100% nylon supplex shell construction, polyester or nylon mesh liner, all-black exterior with all-white interior, and boxer-style design capable of withstanding strenuous training in both indoor and outdoor aquatic environments. The trunks must demonstrate stringent performance standards including colorfast properties, minimal shrinkage of no more than 5%, and durability against commercial laundering processes. The due date for responses to this sources sought notice is January 21, 2026, with the understanding that this notice does not constitute a formal solicitation and the government will not accept unsolicited proposals or quotes at this time.
The government is actively encouraging responses from small businesses in all socioeconomic categories, including 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantaged Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned Small Business concerns. The contract structure envisions an annual order of 1,000 swim trunks in varying sizes: 250 small, 400 medium, 200 large, 100 X-Large, and 50 XXL, arranged as a base plus four-year contract with annual delivery required by April 15th for each option year. The applicable NAICS code is 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors) with a size standard of 750 employees, and the PSC category is 8415 (Clothing, Special Purpose). No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this sources sought notice, as the government is using this phase to gauge market capability and determine whether sufficient small business competition exists to justify a formal small business set-aside. If the government determines that a formal solicitation will be issued, it will be posted on the Governmentwide Point of Entry, and potential offerors are responsible for monitoring that platform for further details.
