DHS-wide Uniforms III Contract

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Uniform Program II (Solicitation 70B01C19R00000003) requires offerors to submit a detailed Small‑Business Subcontracting Plan that identifies how subcontracting goals for small, HUBZone, disadvantaged, women‑owned, veteran‑owned, and service‑disabled veteran‑owned businesses will be developed, justified, and met. Offerors must describe the methods used to establish the product and service areas to be subcontracted, the source lists consulted, and whether indirect and overhead costs are included in the stated dollar and percentage goals. In addition, the proposal must demonstrate how AbilityOne and UNICOR participation will be incorporated (e.g., MOU, teaming or basic subcontracting agreements) and must either meet or exceed the agency’s socio‑economic goals (e.g., 41.5 % small business, 3 % HUBZone). Small‑business offerors are exempt from filing a formal FAR Subpart 19.7 plan but must still disclose any subcontractor relationships for the performance work statement. A separate requirement calls for a bulk‑purchase discount schedule for items sold to CBP, TSA, FDA, and FPS: a discount applies to single‑delivery orders of 100‑299 units and a larger discount to orders of 300 + units, provided all units ship to one location (cold‑weather gear is excluded). Offerors should indicate where this schedule will be placed (e.g., Attachment A, Other Line tab). Finally, compliance with the domestic‑content clause (48 CFR 25.104) is mandatory, with the solicitation identifying any items exempt from the “U.S.–made” requirement and outlining the three allowable exceptions. All referenced FAR provisions (e.g., 52.204‑7, 52.204‑16, 52.212‑1, 52.214‑34/35) are available via www.acquisition.gov.
