Uniforms for Indian Affairs (IA) Office of Justice Services (OJS)

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Central Office, through its Office of the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs, is seeking uniforms and an associated online ordering system for the Office of Justice Services (OJS). This pre-solicitation notice is limited to Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) and represents market research to gauge vendor capability rather than a formal solicitation. Interested vendors must demonstrate their ability to provide a complete solution encompassing both uniform manufacturing and an online ordering platform, with compliance to the Buy America Act as a mandatory requirement. Vendors must be classified under NAICS code 315250 (Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing except Contractors) and possess prior federal contract experience in uniform provision. Submissions are due by May 1, 2026, though the notice indicates respondents will not receive notification of results, technical questions will not be answered, and submission costs will not be reimbursed.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation beyond the Indian Economic Enterprise restriction. The government anticipates the need to service approximately 750 law enforcement employees within the Office of Justice Services, which establishes both the scope and the small business size standard for the procurement. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, and no incumbent contractor information has been identified. The notice explicitly states that this is market research only and that no formal proposals are being sought at this time, suggesting that a subsequent formal solicitation may follow based on vendor responses and market research findings. Interested parties should direct inquiries to Adam Lowery and Terry Lord, Jr., the primary government contacts listed for this opportunity.
