About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is conducting a market survey for the Intermediate Cold Weather Boot (ICWB), a specialized military footwear designed for cold and wet environments with temperatures between 14F and 68F. The procurement will be a four-year Firm-Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for boots with specific technical requirements, including a Desert Sand colored leather upper, waterproof construction, and multiple size and width options ranging from 3-16 and Narrow to Extra Wide. The market survey seeks to gather industry insights on manufacturing capabilities, production capacities, and pricing structures from potential vendors in the footwear manufacturing sector. Interested manufacturers are required to submit their responses by June 11, 2025, providing detailed information about their production capabilities, minimum sustainable production rates, and proposed unit pricing. The survey aims to inform DLA Troop Support's acquisition strategy and understand the commercial market availability of these specialized military boots.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract opportunity. The government estimates an initial annual demand of 17,000 pairs in the first year, with a projected decrease to 6,000 pairs in subsequent years, and a total maximum contract quantity of 44,000 pairs over the four-year contract period. While specific award values are not disclosed, the contract will be structured as a Firm-Fixed Price IDIQ agreement, suggesting flexibility in ordering and potential variability in total contract value. The boots must meet stringent technical specifications, including detailed performance standards for thermal insulation, shock attenuation, and resistance to heat and liquids, as outlined in the GL-PD-13-01 Combat Intermediate Cold Wet specification document. Manufacturers will need to demonstrate the ability to produce boots that comply with comprehensive manufacturing and quality assurance protocols, including specific requirements for leather thickness, insole characteristics, and outsole composition.
