AI Contract Overview

DLA Troop Support, a division of the Defense Logistics Agency, serves as the primary procurement entity for military flags and insignias used by the Air Force, Army, and JROTC. This contract is focused on sourcing domestically produced rayon yarn or fiber, a key material component in several military specifications for organizational flags. Due to a current Domestic Non-Availability Determination indicating that rayon yarn/fiber is not manufactured in the United States or its possessions, DLA Troop Support is seeking to identify firms that can produce rayon or suitable substitute fibers in compliance with the Berry Amendment, which requires that all components be grown and produced domestically. Interested parties that produce rayon yarn/fiber meeting the required specifications or domestically manufactured substitutes capable of fulfilling heraldic item standards are invited to submit their company information and points of contact to the agency. The effort aims to comply with 10 U.S.C. 2241 by increasing domestic sourcing options for critical materials. The solicitation was posted in February 2014, with points of contact named for both the Product Manager and Contract Officer to facilitate vendor engagement. Specifications and further details are accessible through the DLA's online resources.

Full Description

DLA Troop Support, an activity of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), is the Defense Department's principal buyer of military flags (AF and Army Organizational and JROTC Flags) and metal and embroidered insignias. Numerous heraldic specifications require rayon as a component in a wide variety of items purchased by DLA Troop Support such as organizational flags. For example, MIL-F-2692H, MIL-F-14648, MIL-DTL-14650, MIL-DTL-11589 and DDD-F-416F covers rayon material for use in all the Army and Air Force Organizational flags and JROTC flags. Determinations have been made that rayon yarn/fiber is not currently produced in the United States or its possessions. There is currently a Domestic Non-Availability Determination in effect for Rayon. DLA Troop Support is hereby providing producers of rayon yarn/fiber complying with specification and domestic source and content requirements of the Berry Amendment an opportunity to identify themselves. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2241, every component (including all natural and synthetic fibers) must be grown and produced in the United States or its possessions. If your firm meets this criteria and produces rayon/fiber domestically, please submit your firm's name and point of contact to DLA Troop Support, ATTN: Brian McGinley, Product Manager, via e-mail at brian.mcginley@dla.mil. DLA Troop Support will also entertain domestically produced substitutes for rayon yarn/fiber. If your firm manufactures domestic substitutes for rayon yarn/fiber that are capable of meeting specification requirements called for in heraldic items, please submit your company information along with the domestically manufactured substitute component.
