Fasteners - (83 NSNs)

Greetings!

The DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles Office in Philadelphia PA is conducting market research to help determine an acquisition strategy for both Military and Commercial fasteners, tapes and webbings.  Attached you will find a brief questionnaire requesting production capabilities for Military Specifications (Mil-Spec) and Commercial Item Descriptions (CIDs) related to fasteners tapes and webbings.

Your response to this questionnaire is crucial in helping us to both devise an acquisition strategy and identify a possible supply base.

Please see the attached spreadsheet for complete list of NSNs and PGCs.

The specification documents can be viewed at the following website:
