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 of Army cold weather clothing, specifically the All Range Tactical Clothing (ARTC) Rain Jacket and Rain Trousers. The market investigation seeks Berry Amendment compliant garment manufacturers with the ability to produce these specialized uniform items. Interested vendors must respond within 21 days, providing comprehensive details including company information, business size, special designations, estimated pricing, production capacity, and a capability statement demonstrating their background and experience. Key evaluation criteria include domestic manufacturing capability, production lead times, monthly production capacity, and the ability to meet military clothing specifications. The deadline for submitting questions is seven days from the posting date, with responses to be sent to specific Army contacts including Mr. Alejandro Silva, Mr. Bryan Millan, and MAJ Taylor Moran.
This pre-solicitation notice is not a set-aside contract and does not currently specify an incumbent contractor or precise award value. The draft Technical Data Package (TDP) includes a Bill of Materials based on prototype production, with final designs potentially varying from the current draft. Vendors are expected to provide detailed information about their maximum monthly production capacity, minimum sustaining production rates, and any limiting factors affecting their manufacturing capabilities. While no specific quantity of garments is mentioned, the Army is seeking vendors who can demonstrate consistent production capabilities for military cold weather clothing. The research phase will be used to develop a comprehensive acquisition strategy, with the ultimate goal of procuring a new generation of tactical rain uniforms that meet the Army's performance-based requirements for cold weather operational clothing.
