About this opportunity
The New Hampshire Army National Guard is seeking to procure 134 pairs of Scarpa Inverno Double Lined Plastic Mountaineering Boots through solicitation W912TF25QA001. This is a brand name only procurement requiring boots with specific technical characteristics including an outer plastic structure, removable liner, subdued colors (grey, black, white, dark green, or tan/brown), no built-in gaiter, and compatibility with crampons, micro-spikes, snowshoes, and AT Silvretta ski bindings. The boots must meet stringent material specifications including 100% Pebax upper construction, high altitude liner materials, and Vibram Dalaugiri or Stabeler equivalent soles. The evaluation will be conducted using a two-factor approach assessing price reasonableness and technical acceptability, with technical evaluation based on a simple acceptable/unacceptable rating system where only the exact Scarpa brand product will be deemed acceptable. Technical or contractual questions must be submitted in writing by 12:00 noon EST on January 21, 2025, to the contracting officer, with quotes due by July 31, 2025, and must remain valid for 60 days.
This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 316210 (Footwear Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees, meaning only qualified small businesses may submit quotes. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price contract with FOB destination delivery required to 54 Osgood Road, Milford, NH 03055. The winning contractor will be responsible for coordinating with Scarpa's annual manufacturing schedule to determine sizing requirements, as the manufacturer only produces these boots once per year. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement involves 134 pairs of specialized mountaineering boots for military use. Contractors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at the time of award, and the contract will be executed using FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition procedures for this commercial item procurement.
