This solicitation is being issued due to unavailability of cold weather gear in the National Stock System.

Vendors will send a sample product (and return labels) for evaluation if the 126ARW does not have access to a sample product for evaluation. Failure to provide will result in a neutral technical rating.

Buy American Act is applicable. Products not “Made in America” will have price evaluated using a 50% increase in evaluated price.
