About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division is procuring the USAF Airsave Survival Vest and a comprehensive range of accessories and attachment components for the United States Air Force. This pre-solicitation notice announces the agency's determination to consolidate seven separate line items into a single contract, including the primary survival vest, horizontal mounting panels, expansion panels in two sizes, general pocket assemblies in two sizes, radio pocket assemblies, and specialized attachments for helmet-mounted systems such as the Crew Regulator Unit/Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System and the Helmet Mounted Integrated Targeting System. The consolidation determination was made on March 27, 2026, and is classified under NAICS 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors) and PSC 8415 (Clothing, Special Purpose). The detailed justification for consolidating these requirements will be published with the formal solicitation. Interested parties should monitor the Government Point of Entry for the solicitation release, which will not be published prior to seven days after this notice date of March 30, 2026.
This contract opportunity is designated as a HUBZone set-aside, limiting competition to qualified HUBZone small businesses. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any current contractors or incumbents, nor does it disclose specific award values, budget ranges, or quantities for the required items. Prospective offerors should direct inquiries to the contracting officer Maria Aguayo (maria.aguayo@dla.mil) or contract specialist Alex Salim (alex.salim@dla.mil) at DLA. The notice establishes an April 7, 2026 due date for initial responses, though this appears to reference the deadline for interested parties to submit information regarding the consolidation rather than formal proposal submissions. The formal solicitation document, which will contain specific evaluation criteria, technical specifications, and proposal deadlines, is expected to be released on or after April 6, 2026.
