MIL-DTL-32699 AMD1

The United States Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) has issued a Special Notice for a draft military specification (MIL-DTL-32699 w/AMD 1) concerning 70 Denier Nylon Ripstop Cloth. This document specifically relates to a fabric intended for use in lining material for handwear, with the draft specification covering a water-repellent finished fabric in Coyote 498 color. The notice was posted on December 30, 2024, with a review period ending on January 17, 2025. The Marine Corps is proactively seeking industry input to develop comprehensive specifications that accommodate diverse design solutions and encourage participation from a broad vendor base. The opportunity is categorized under Product Service Code 8305 (Textile Fabrics) and NAICS Code 313210 (Broadwoven Fabric Mills).

Contractors interested in participating must submit their comments using the provided Consolidated Comments Form (CCF) to USMC_STDZ@usmc.mil before the January 17, 2025 deadline. The draft specification includes detailed technical requirements for the fabric, such as specific weight ranges, yarn counts, break and tear strength measurements, and performance characteristics like water repellency and colorfastness. There are no specific set-aside restrictions, making the opportunity open to a wide range of potential vendors in the textile manufacturing sector. Comments submitted outside the CCF format may not be considered, and interested parties are advised to carefully review the attached draft document. After the review period concludes, the final specification will be published on ASSIST Online, potentially creating future procurement opportunities for qualified manufacturers of specialized textile materials. This initiative represents a collaborative approach between the Marine Corps and industry to develop precise, adaptable technical specifications.
