DHS Uniforms - Berry Compliant

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is conducting market research for a future Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide Berry‑Amendment‑compliant uniform items and quartermaster services to U.S. Department of Homeland Security components. The RFI (SPE1C126RDHSU, issued March 25 2026) seeks detailed white‑paper responses on the industry’s ability to supply an estimated 1,600 COTS uniform items—including shirts, pants, jackets, caps, belts, patches, and specialty gear—entirely from U.S. sources, manage on‑site quartermaster operations, and operate a web‑based uniform requesting system. Respondents must address cost‑structure questions (ROM price comparison of Berry‑compliant vs. non‑compliant sets, cost‑premium percentage, key cost drivers), supply‑chain and manufacturing capability (Berry‑compliant fabric sources, economies of scale, order‑volume thresholds), logistics (7‑day ship‑time for all items, including customization, back‑order mitigation, delivery timeframe), and program‑management plans (identifying domestic sources, inventory control, security of DHS‑branded items). The RFI also requests information on existing web‑based request platforms, partner relationships, and any barriers to past DHS uniform contract participation. Responses must be submitted as a PDF or Word white paper not exceeding 20 pages, with a cover page containing company and contact information, and proprietary data clearly marked and segregated. An intent‑to‑respond notice is due to Kimberly Sabo (kimberly.sabo@dla.mil) no later than April 2 2026, and the full response must be delivered by April 24 2026, 15:00 EST. Marketing material is not requested. This RFI is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee of award.
