About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking partners for the Military Unique Sustainment Technology II (MUST-II) program, a DOD Manufacturing Technology initiative focused on process reengineering for the Clothing and Individual Equipment (CIE) supply chain. The program aims to develop a collaborative knowledge base that enables digital technical data models to be seamlessly used throughout the military uniform and individual equipment supply chain. Interested parties must demonstrate expertise in relevant technical areas of military uniform and equipment procurement and logistics. The solicitation seeks to create a community of practice that can enhance collaboration among military services, DLA, and the industrial base, building upon capabilities developed in the previous MUST-I program. The key objective is to establish a Model Based Enterprise (MBE) that can efficiently communicate technical information across the supply chain, with a due date for proposals of August 2, 2025.
The solicitation does not include any specific set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS Category 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences. The procurement is categorized under PSC Category AC33 for National Defense R&D Services, specifically focusing on experimental development activities. While specific award values are not detailed in the provided documentation, the program is positioned as a collaborative research and development effort spanning multiple years. The place of performance is not explicitly stated but is implied to involve multiple stakeholders across the defense logistics and manufacturing sectors. The program builds directly on insights from a 2012 Government Accountability Office report about improving camouflage uniform development and inter-service collaboration, suggesting a comprehensive approach to enhancing military supply chain capabilities.

Amendment 02 reopens the BAA for proposal submissions through 02 August, 2025.
Amendment 01 provides a list of questions and answers submitted during the open questions period for this BAA.
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seeks interested parties to become partners in the Military Unique Sustainment Technology II program (herein referred to as MUST-II). MUST-II is a DLA Sponsored DOD Manufacturing Technology Program. The MUST-II Program will form a community of practice to implement process re‑engineering of joint DLA Troop Support Clothing and Individual Equipment (CIE) supply chain processes which will enable knowledge based digital technical data models to be seamlessly used throughout the CIE supply chain. (For more background information see the Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, “DOD Should Improve Development of Camouflage Uniforms and Enhance Collaboration Among the Services, GAO-12-707: Published: Sep 28, 2012 (https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-12-707).
For the purposes of this solicitation, the community of practice will be made up of organizations with expertise in relevant technical areas of the military uniform and individual equipment supply chain. The knowledge base encompasses comprehensive information related to all aspects military uniforms and individual equipment. The major focus will be to develop knowledge-based capability to collaborate requirements among Services, DLA and Industrial Base.
MUST- II leverages MUST I developed capabilities. The MUST-II vision is a CIE supply chain built on joint process re-engineering and an integrated knowledge base of digital technical data models – a Model Based Enterprise (MBE) – efficiently communicated throughout the supply chain.
