Marine Corps Tropical Jungle Boot

DLA Troop Support is conducting a market‑research survey for the Marine Corps Tropical Jungle Boot (PGC 03940, NSN 8430‑01‑679‑6204) to shape an upcoming Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a 12‑month base term and tiered pricing across three one‑year periods. The survey seeks vendor input on manufacturing capacity, minimum‑economic and maximum‑annual quantities (up to 833 pairs), pricing per tier, labor‑material ratios, subcontracting plans, raw‑material availability, and compliance with Berry Amendment foreign‑content restrictions. Respondents must address technical requirements—including first‑article inspection, quality‑assurance standards, testing (bond strength, toxicity, packaging, shade), and packaging specifications—and confirm ability to meet the stipulated production lead times (180 days for the first delivery, 150 days for subsequent orders). Delivery will be FOB with inspection/acceptance at origin (Austin, TX) and the contract will be open to all DoD agencies, though the Marine Corps is the primary user. The survey also asks whether the 30‑day “Time to Award” window is sufficient for proposal preparation and requests company details (CAGE, size, subcontractor information), experience with long‑term and government contracts, and any commercial‑item alternatives that could meet Berry‑compliant requirements. Responses are confidential, due by 5:00 PM EST (date unspecified), and must be returned to Karen M. Johnson (Karen.M.Johnson@dla.mil). Vendors should register on DIBBS and SAM.gov to receive solicitation notifications.
