The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is procuring enlisted grade insignia through this Request for Quote (RFQ) process under National Stock Number 8455014609114. The procurement involves 12,000 units of military grade insignia for enlisted personnel, with all quotes required to be submitted electronically as hard copies are not available. The solicitation posted on September 28, 2025, with a submission deadline of October 9, 2025, allowing potential contractors 11 days to prepare and submit their responses. All responsible sources are eligible to submit quotes, and the agency will consider any timely received submissions.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business entities. The contract requires delivery to Arizona Industries for the Blind within 160 days after date of order (ADO), indicating a relatively standard delivery timeline for military textile products. No incumbent contractor or current contract holder information is provided in the solicitation notice, nor are specific award values or budget ranges disclosed. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339910 for Jewelry and Silverware Manufacturing and PSC category 84 for Clothing, Individual Equipment, Insignia, and Jewelry. The substantial quantity of 12,000 units suggests this is likely a recurring military supply requirement to maintain adequate inventory levels for enlisted personnel insignia across the defense system.
