This procurement falls under the All Other Rubber Product Manufacturing NAICS category (326299) and the Fire/Rescue/Safety; Environmental Protection PSC category (42). The solicitation specifies an approved source as 78673 S-4571-1, though all responsible sources are permitted to submit quotes for consideration.

The solicitation was posted on October 15, 2025, with quotes due by October 27, 2025, providing contractors with a 12-day response window.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it open to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The contract requires delivery of the 231 life preserver vests within 81 days after date of order (ADO) to DLA Distribution facility W1A8.
