About this opportunity
DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is conducting market research for the procurement of athletic shoes for men and women, specifically designed for military recruits entering Initial Military Training. The procurement covers three types of athletic training shoes: Type I (Cushion/Neutral), Type II (Stability), and Type III (Motion Control), with men's sizes ranging from 4-16 and women's sizes from 4-13, each available in narrow, regular, and wide widths. Key requirements include Berry Amendment compliance for domestic manufacturing, Army Program Office certification for shoe samples, and adherence to rigorous technical specifications including maximum weight of 13.5 ounces and specific shock attenuation limits. Vendors must demonstrate manufacturing capabilities for all six shoe configurations and complete a comprehensive market research survey detailing their production capacity, pricing, and subcontracting plans. The survey response deadline is July 1, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST, with submissions required via email to Kristy.DeRitis@dla.mil.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified vendors. The contract structure involves a 36-month ordering period with tiered quantities ranging from a minimum guaranteed 56,610 pairs to a maximum of 849,150 pairs annually, serving all military branches including Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Initial production requires a 240-day lead time, with subsequent delivery orders having 210-day timelines. The shoes will be distributed to centers in Michigan, Texas, and Georgia, and the contract includes an Economic Price Adjustment clause allowing for annual price adjustments up to 10% based on Department of Labor Producer Price Indexes for textile materials. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in this pre-solicitation notice, as this represents the initial market research phase to gauge vendor interest and capabilities.
