AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Army Natick Soldier Center is seeking information from manufacturers regarding commercially available t-shirts that could potentially replace the current issue 100% cotton brown t-shirts. This is a sources sought notice, not a solicitation, intended to identify affordable t-shirts made entirely in the United States using U.S.-produced fibers. The potential replacement shirt must be crewneck, short-sleeved, and designed with fabric that wicks moisture away from the skin to the ambient air. While the color is currently flexible, if selected, the shirt must match the Army Brown 436 color. Cost will play a significant role in the evaluation process. Companies wishing to participate must submit five sample t-shirts for testing along with a detailed information paper by April 15, 2003. The paper should include fabric specifications, such as fabric name, manufacturing location, fiber sources, material blend, current fabric applications, and pricing details. All submissions must be written and sent to Ms. Pam Moriarty at the Natick Soldier Center by the specified deadline, and no phone inquiries will be accepted. This effort is part of the Department of Defense’s drive to identify better performing and cost-effective uniform components prior to a possible wear test scheduled for fiscal year 2004.
