Coat, Man's – Dress; Blue (Officer’s)

The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) has published a Special Notice regarding the development of Draft MIL-DTL-28950D(MC), a military specification for a Man's Dress Blue Officer's Coat. This is not a solicitation but rather an invitation for industry feedback on draft specifications and standards. The notice is posted under Federal Supply Code 8405 (Outerwear, Men's) and NAICS Code 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors). MARCORSYSCOM intends to establish specifications that promote adaptability in design and production methodologies while encouraging input from a broad vendor base. The draft specification covers a five-button, single-breasted dress coat for male Marine Corps officers, including detailed requirements for materials, construction, sizing, and quality standards.

Industry stakeholders interested in providing feedback must submit comments using the Consolidated Comments Form (CCF) template via email to USMC_STDZ@usmc.mil with a subject line referencing the official document number. All submissions must be received by the review period deadline of May 23, 2026. The CCF is designed to collect structured feedback on specific paragraphs and aspects of the specification, with columns for commenter organization information, comment types, detailed rationale, and adjudication tracking. There are no specific eligibility criteria mentioned; the notice invites comments from any industry stakeholders with relevant expertise. After all comments are adjudicated, the final specification will be published on ASSIST Online, making this an opportunity for vendors to influence military apparel procurement standards before formal specifications are finalized.
