Uniforms II IDIQ contract

The Uniforms II IDIQ contract, modified through P00135 dated June 26, 2026, is a sole-source procurement justified under FAR 6.103(a)(1) for other-than-full-and-open competition, awarded to Workwear Outfitters LLC to supply uniforms and quartermaster services to all uniformed components of the Department of Homeland Security, including CBP, TSA, ICE, USSS, USCG, FEMA, and FLETC. The contract has a ceiling of $900 million, reflecting a $100 million increase from the original $800 million to support a 12-month extension through January 31, 2028, ensuring uninterrupted service during the transition to the next-generation Uniforms III contract. Performance is centered at the contractor’s facility in Nashville, Tennessee, with nationwide delivery to DHS operational and training sites, and requires the contractor to maintain a $50 million inventory of over 1,900 standardized uniform items—including apparel, boots, hats, and accessories—while ensuring compliance with the Kissell Amendment and Homeland Procurement Reform Act, mandate domestic sourcing and supply chain transparency. Delivery orders are issued on an as-required basis with a strict seven-day shipping requirement, and the contractor is responsible for first article testing, uniform alterations, employee sizing, returns, and emergency relief support during disaster response. The award is based on the contractor’s unique and irreplaceable capabilities, including established familiarity with DHS specifications, management of online uniform allowance systems, pre-approved inventory, and qualified personnel with requisite security clearances, all of which eliminate viable alternatives and justify the absence of competition. The contract operates under an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity structure with firm fixed pricing, funded through FY2027/2028 Operations and Support funds, and requires ongoing compliance with FAR 52.225-5 (Trade Agreements). While no formal clause list or detailed pricing structure is provided, the government retains authority for final acceptance through CBP in Washington, DC, and no formal evaluation factors or weights are outlined beyond mandatory statutory adherence. No packaging, marking, or invoicing system specifications are detailed, and although the contracting office is identified, no point of contact for COR, COTR, or payment instructions is available beyond the primary point of contact, Jared Tritle. The contract’s continuity is critical to mission readiness, and its structure reinforces operational necessity over price competition.
