RFI - Security Identification Gear

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is conducting market research through a Request for Information, RFI-04282026, to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying security identification gear including apparel such as tactical pants, shirts, boots, outerwear, gloves, and hats, along with comprehensive customization services like embroidery, silk screening, Direct to Film printing, Thermoplastic Polyurethane logo application, and 3M heat-transferred reflective material. The RFI also seeks vendors able to develop and maintain a secure, 24/7 e-commerce website featuring role-based access, order tracking, approval workflows, and real-time inventory management. Responses will inform future acquisition strategies and are not binding; no contract will be awarded based on this RFI. All submissions must be emailed to Contracting Officer Kayla Haley by the close of business on May 15, 2026, and should include the respondent’s legal name, address, contact information, Cage Code, DUNS Number, NAICS code 315990, GSA Schedule status, product models offered, and business size classification. The place of performance is Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, with deliveries expected within a 30-day lead time, though no formal delivery terms, pricing, or contract values are specified. The government seeks input on potential evaluation methods, including whether to use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable or trade-off approach in future solicitations. No contract clauses, special requirements, inspection criteria, or packaging standards are established at this stage, as this is strictly a pre-solicitation market research effort under FAR 15.101(c)(2).
