About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is soliciting proposals for Cold Weather Caps for the U.S. Marine Corps, specifically seeking a comprehensive contract for four sizes of caps (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large) that meet MIL-DTL-32696 military specification. The solicitation (SPE1C1-25-R-0044) requires offerors to submit both a solicitation package and Product Demonstration Models via the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) by May 29, 2025, at 3:00 PM EDT. Proposals will be evaluated primarily on technical merit, with technical factors significantly more important than price, considering aspects such as past performance and compliance with detailed specifications. The evaluation will include a comprehensive review of the submitted Product Demonstration Models to ensure they meet the stringent military requirements, including specific material, construction, and performance standards. Contractors must provide unit prices across five 12-month price tiers and demonstrate full compliance with the detailed military specification dated 28 January 2022.

This procurement is a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside contract with an estimated annual quantity ranging from 27,000 to 33,900 caps and a maximum contract quantity of 203,250 caps. The contract will be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm-fixed-price agreement with a five-year ordering period, located in Philadelphia, PA. The caps must be available in three color variants: Coyote 498, Olive Drab Green 522, and White 506, with specific technical requirements including a nylon outer shell, polyester knit insulation, and full ear extension flaps. Each cap size has a corresponding National Stock Number (NSN), with the solicitation covering NSN series 8415-01-695-3401 through 8415-01-695-3404. The procurement involves rigorous quality assurance procedures, including first article testing, shade evaluation, and comprehensive material testing to ensure the caps meet the precise specifications required for Marine Corps cold weather operations.
