About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Clothing and Textiles issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on March 19, 2026, authorizing non-competitive procurement of General Purpose and Flight Deck Black Safety Boots (NSNs 8430-01-697-2905 and 8435-01-694-3885) under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(3) for industrial mobilization purposes. The procurement was awarded to multiple vendors—specifically Belleville Shoe Manufacturing Company and McRae Industries, Inc.—identified as the sole known manufacturers capable of producing Navy-certified critical equipment featuring specialized components including Vibram Corporation outsoles, steel toe design, and full grain cattlehide leather construction. The justification cited supply chain vulnerabilities and the risk that production lines would cease without continuous orders, resulting in significant lead time extensions and workforce losses if these manufacturers were not supported during the transition period. The estimated maximum total dollar value for the contracts (SPE1C1-26-C-0007 and SPE1C1-26-C-0008) is $8,560,134.00, with the non-competitive action designed to maintain production capability until a competitive long-term solicitation can be issued in April 2026 with an anticipated award date in December 2026. The justification was certified on February 27, 2026, and approved by the DLA Competition Advocate on March 4, 2026.
