84 -- Coast Guard Women's Service Dress Blue Coats

The Coast Guard Uniform Distribution Center located in Woodbine, New Jersey, plans to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Accent Uniform in Eddystone, Pennsylvania. This contract pertains to the manufacturing of the Coast Guard Women's Service Dress Blue Coat. The procurement is identified under solicitation number 23-04-G94PUD682 and falls within the NAICS code 315299, which covers cut and sew apparel manufacturing. This acquisition is managed by the Department of Homeland Security through its Uniform Distribution Center office. The uniform pieces to be produced serve a specific need for the Coast Guard, and the contracting approach reflects a direct selection of a single supplier to fulfill the contract requirements. The announcement was posted in September 2004, indicating the government’s intent to move forward with the designated vendor without competitive bidding, likely due to Accent Uniform’s specialized capabilities or existing working relationship.
