About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Product Manager Soldier Clothing and Individual Equipment (PdM SCIE) is conducting market research to identify domestic manufacturers capable of producing the next generation All Range Tactical Clothing (ARTC) Extreme Cold Weather Uniform, specifically the Extreme Cold Parka and Extreme Cold Trousers. The procurement is focused on Berry Amendment compliant garment manufacturers with the ability to produce high-performance cold weather military clothing. Interested vendors must submit a comprehensive response within 21 days, including company details, business size, contact information, estimated pricing, production capacity, and a capability statement demonstrating their experience with similar government contracts. Evaluation criteria will focus on domestic manufacturing capacity, technical capabilities, production lead times, and the ability to meet the Army's specific clothing requirements. Key deadlines include a seven-day window for submitting questions, with responses due by January 28, 2025.
This market research effort does not currently have a specific set-aside designation and is open to both small and large businesses. No award value or specific quantity has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, though vendors are required to provide estimated pricing for full-rate production and detail their maximum monthly production capacity. The draft Technical Data Package (TDP) is available upon request from Ms. Ashley Cushon and represents a preliminary design that may change before final production. Manufacturers will need to demonstrate the ability to produce garments with a performance-based approach, potentially including step pricing estimates and minimum annual production rates. The Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground is conducting this market research to develop a comprehensive acquisition strategy for the next-generation extreme cold weather uniform, with the ultimate goal of identifying vendors capable of meeting the military's stringent clothing requirements.
