Watch out for
- Very short question window. Questions end October 7, only two days after posting, so you must review the specs and ask right away.
The end period for RFI's will officially end on 10/07/2026 at 12:00 Eastern Standard time.
- Highly customized branded items. Twelve items need exact fabrics, colors, logo placement and print or embroidery methods, so you need decoration capability and tight quality control.
- Five-year commitment with unstated quantities. The notice gives no quantities, pricing structure or ordering limits, which makes pricing a five-year contract hard to judge.
