AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Army Contracting Command at Natick, on behalf of the Program Manager Infantry Combat Equipment, is procuring roughly 1800 yards of knit and woven flame resistant fabric for test and evaluation purposes to support the U.S. Marine Corps. This effort aims to enhance the durability and performance of the current flame resistant combat ensemble (FRCE), addressing known durability challenges experienced during Operation Enduring Freedom. The improved materials are expected to provide the same level of flame resistance and comfort while offering superior strength, thus increasing survivability, mobility, and overall combat effectiveness for Marines engaged in Overseas Contingency Operations. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price order to Burlington Industries, a large business based in Greensboro, NC. It involves supplying three types of fabrics—300 yards each of two knit types and 1200 yards of woven fabric—for the production of test uniforms to be used in a Follow-on Field User Evaluation. The procurement falls under the North American Industry Classification System code 315999, indicating fabric manufacturing, and is managed by the Department of Defense office located in Natick, Massachusetts.
