About this opportunity
The Defense Commissary Agency is conducting market research to determine commercial availability of Berry Amendment-compliant textile products for commissary operations, with responses due September 9, 2026. This is a Sources Sought Notice for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract.
DeCA seeks information on availability of compliant clothing items (butcher coats, shirts, pants, and aprons in white, sizes S–5X; royal blue bib aprons and smocks, sizes S–5X), entrance mats in three sizes with heavy-duty black/gray construction and non-slip backing (3' × 5', 3' × 10', 4' × 6'), and mop heads in dust sizes of 36" and 48" and wet sizes of 24 ounces and 28 ounces. All products must comply with Berry Amendment requirements under 10 U.S.C. § 4862 and DFARS 225.7002, meaning items and components must be grown, reprocessed, reused, or produced in the United States. Products may be furnished through a commercial linen rental and laundering program or other commercial means.
Respondents should provide company identification, detailed sourcing and production data for each compliant item (including manufacturer, country of production, component sourcing, current availability, minimum order quantities, and lead times), pricing for both compliant and non-compliant products with quantity breaks, and information on unavailable items including reasons and commercial limitations. For linen rental and laundering service providers, DeCA requests geographic service areas, comparable experience, ability to incorporate compliant products into existing programs, and weekly pricing for rental and laundering of one each item type. Responses limited to ten pages excluding product literature should be submitted to Diana Gross-Bendall, Christina Ellison, or Fatia Broussard at their DeCA email addresses.
