About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Clothing and Textiles division is conducting market research for Marine Corps Black Frame service caps (PSC 8405, Outerwear, Men's). This pre-solicitation notice seeks industry insights to inform the government's acquisition strategy for this military apparel item. Potential vendors are requested to complete a detailed market research survey addressing manufacturing capabilities, business certifications, commercial item status, Berry Amendment and Buy American Act compliance, production capacity, pricing estimates across multiple tiers, material sourcing, and cost drivers. Respondents must demonstrate their ability to meet a compressed 30-day proposal submission timeline under the government's Time to Award initiative and provide a Product Demonstration Model with their survey response. The due date for survey submissions is February 17, 2026, with completed responses directed to John McAnulty at john.mcanulty@dla.mil. This market research is non-binding and confidential, designed to assess industry capability before formal solicitation.
The government does not specify a set-aside designation for this procurement. The anticipated contract structure will be a Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity award with a 60-month performance period divided into five 12-month price tiers. Tier I minimum quantity requirements total 16,386 units, while Annual Estimated Quantities (AEQ) for Tiers II through V are 40,932 units, with maximum quantities reaching 286,589 units across the contract term. Production lead time expectations are 120 days for the initial delivery order and 90 days for subsequent orders. The survey requests ballpark pricing estimates, monthly production rates, minimum and maximum monthly production quantities, and vendor feedback on the proposed tiered pricing structure to support contract award strategy development for this military customer base.
