Things to watch (11)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Small business set-aside only. Only small businesses that meet the 850 employee size standard for NAICS 315210 can win this contract.
- Serious: Physical samples must arrive by the response due date. A sample of every garment must be made and received by November 16, 2026, 2:00 PM Eastern, with no exceptions; late or missing samples exclude the offer.
- Serious: Offers that skip the instructions are excluded. The sample and the certifications are part of the instructions, so a quote missing any of them will not be considered.
Show all 11Show fewer
- Serious: Date passed (Oct 5, 2026): Government sample fabric requests ended October 5, 2026. Fabric for samples was only available by written request with a prepaid shipping label, and no requests are accepted after October 5, 2026; Government shipping of fabric kits was set for October 8, 2026.
- Worth checking: Fabric supplied only in the first year. From the second year on you must buy the India White fabric yourself, and the cloth purchase description (WP-PD-21-01) is not part of the solicitation, which makes later-year pricing harder.
- Worth checking: Unclear basis for award. A bidder noted that Section M refers to lowest price while the evaluation clause says non-price factors outweigh price; the Government answered all of the above, so ask the contracting officer how offers will be ranked.
- Worth checking: Minimum and maximum order amounts are not set. Quantities are estimates and the contract minimum and maximum quantities and dollar values show TBD (to be determined) until award, so the amount you are guaranteed is unknown.
- Worth checking: First article requirement still to be set. Portions of the first article rules (FAR 52.209-3) were TBD; the Government's answer was that details should come sometime mid 2027.
- Worth checking: Domestic sourcing rules apply. The solicitation cites the Berry Amendment and requires you to certify the country and city of origin of fabric and goods, which limits where materials can come from.
- Minor: Contractor pays shipping to West Point. Delivery is to the Government's warehouse at the contractor's transportation cost, so build freight into the price.
- Minor: CLIN descriptions and quantities were changed by amendments. Amendment 0002 switched the women's coat and women's trousers quantities, and CLIN 0006 was deleted as an error; check the final CLIN table before pricing.
