FY26 ARMY PPI Baseball Hat Bridge

The U.S. Army is issuing a sole source intent to award a bridge contract to ViewSport, Inc. for the FY26 Army PPI Baseball Hat program under solicitation number PANMCC26P0000046951, due to urgent operational needs and the inability of mandatory sources to meet the required capacity for the upcoming summer recruiting season. This non-competitive action is justified under 41 U.S.C. 1901 and implemented through FAR 12.102(a) and DFARS CD 2026-O0028, ensuring continuity of supply without disruption while a long-term competitive solution is developed. No solicitation for proposals, quotes, or capability statements will be issued, and this notice complies with FAR 5.101 for information dissemination. The contract is classified under NAICS code 315990 and falls under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Office at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The sole source award is necessary to maintain uninterrupted operations and fulfill immediate logistical demands, with a response deadline of June 9, 2026, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time. Primary point of contact is Yonason Bloch, reachable at 502-945-9171 or yonason.bloch.civ@army.mil, with Sandra Thompson serving as the secondary contact. This action does not involve any small business set-asides or competitive bidding, and the sole intent is to secure essential apparel from the incumbent vendor to sustain mission-critical readiness efforts during the transition period.
