About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles has issued a sources sought notice for Marine Corps Intense Cold Weather Combat Boots, seeking to identify potential vendors capable of manufacturing specialized military footwear. The boots must be designed for extreme cold weather environments with temperatures ranging from -20°F to 20°F, featuring waterproof leather uppers, built-in insulation, and specific technical requirements including a minimum insulation value of 1.2 clo and maximum weight of 4.9 pounds per pair. Contractors must comply with Berry Amendment requirements for domestic manufacturing and demonstrate capabilities for delivering boots in men's sizes 3-16 across four width categories. The procurement includes provisions for economic price adjustments based on Department of Labor Producer Price Indexes, with a ceiling of 10% for unit price increases. Responses to this market research survey are due by 5:00 PM EST on October 3, 2025, and must be submitted electronically to the designated contracting officer.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The government seeks market research responses regarding manufacturing capacity for a maximum of 22,500 pairs of boots distributed across three one-year ordering periods, with a minimum guaranteed quantity of 1,260 pairs. Vendors must demonstrate ability to meet a 150-day first delivery lead time and provide detailed information including unit pricing for tiered quantities, labor and material cost ratios, and subcontracting plans. The boots will be delivered to Travis Association For The Blind in Austin, Texas, and are intended for use by both male and female Department of Defense personnel. The expected service life for each pair of boots is twelve cumulative months of normal wear under intense cold weather conditions.
