How to submit: Quotes by email only to ignacio.j.cordova2.civ@army.mil; samples delivered to U.S. Army MICC West Point, Attn: Ignacio Cordova, 681 Rogers Place, Room 100, West Point, NY 10996-1514. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (10)
- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only small businesses (850 employees or fewer under NAICS 315210) can win this buy.
- Serious: Response due time differs: 12:00 PM on SAM.gov, 2:00 PM in the text. SAM.gov lists November 16, 2026, 12:00 PM Eastern; the notice and Amendment 0005 say 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Ask the contracting officer which governs.
- Serious: A physical sample is required and must arrive by the response due date. A quote without a conforming sample of each garment is not considered, and late delivery is not excused.
Show all 10Show fewer
- Worth checking: Fabric supply changes after the initial year. The Government supplies fabric only in the initial year; after that you source India White fabric yourself and must price for it.
- Worth checking: Requests were due Oct 5, 2026. Check the amendments for what the agency sent or answered.
- Worth checking: How the award is decided is unclear. A vendor noted that Section M says lowest price while the evaluation clause says non-price factors matter more; the Army answered with the line quoted here. Ask which governs.
- Worth checking: Minimum and maximum order quantities and values are to be set at award. You price without a stated minimum order or contract value, and quantities are only estimates.
- Worth checking: First article details are still to be determined. A first article (an early production sample for Government approval) is referenced, but its quantity, delivery and approval timeline were not set; the Army said mid 2027.
- Worth checking: Berry Amendment and domestic sourcing rules. Fabric and goods must meet U.S.-origin rules, which can limit fabric sources and raise cost.
- Minor: Notice text and SAM.gov differ on product code and items. The notice text says product service code 8405 and names blouses; SAM.gov lists 8305, and the price lines are coats, trousers and a skirt.
