Commando Mission Uniform

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify domestic suppliers of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) commando mission uniforms. The uniforms must consist of trousers, combat shirts, and blouses in both solid and Multi Cam print options, designed to provide protection against environmental hazards (temperatures ranging from 50°F to 110°F), contact with hot metal such as suppressors, abrasion from sharp objects, and natural hazards including rocky terrain and damaged structures. Key design requirements include compatibility with tactical equipment such as body armor, load carriage systems, and hoist harnesses; multiple functional pockets; adjustable hip and ankle points; knee and elbow protection with replaceable pads; a 3-inch vertical collar; and unrestricted dynamic movement capability for high-intensity activities including running, climbing, and shooting. Respondents must provide product descriptions with fiber blend percentages, finishes, and Berry compliance documentation; dermal health hazard certifications; estimated unit costs; and information on lead times, intellectual property restrictions, and licensing fees. The response deadline is March 16, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. ET, with submissions to be sent via email to Scott Gaumont, Danny Soto, and Michelle Lin at their respective Army email addresses.

This RFI contains no set-aside designations and is classified as market research only, meaning it does not constitute a binding contract or formal solicitation. The RFI does not identify any current incumbents, potential contractors, or specific award values or budget ranges. Sizing requirements encompass the 5th to 95th percentile for both male and female personnel, though specific quantity requirements are not detailed in the notice. The classification falls under NAICS Code 315 (Apparel Manufacturing) and PSC Code 8415 (Clothing, Special Purpose), with contract number W911QY26RCMU assigned to the opportunity.
