The notice carries a Total Small Business set-aside line, but the Government will set aside the requirement only if two or more qualified small businesses respond with information sufficient to support a set-aside. Otherwise, it will not be set aside. Responses should identify capabilities to meet the requirement at fair market price, and all socioeconomic categories are encouraged to respond, including 8(a), SDB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB concerns.
The notice is issued for information and planning only. It is not an RFQ, IFB, or RFP, and it does not commit the Government to contract.

The NAICS code is 315210 and the PSC is 8405.
The specification sheet calls for Standard Army GYM-A black shirts in short and long sleeve, made of 100% preshrunk cotton with seamless collars, double-needle stitching, and taped shoulder-to-shoulder construction. Each shirt carries an Army Gold USMA crest, and standard shirts add cadet last names in Army Gold block letters. Annual production totals 13,100 shirts: 4,000 short-sleeve with white write-on nameplates, 5,200 short-sleeve printed, and 3,900 long-sleeve printed.

Delivery is required no later than April 1, 2027, to Building 913, Washington Road, West Point, NY 10996-1535. The Government may increase orders by up to 10% at the same per-shirt rate.
