The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is seeking qualified contractors to supply cold-weather outerwear, specifically insulated parkas or soft-shell jackets, designed for use by law enforcement personnel in Florida’s fluctuating winter conditions. The requirement emphasizes durability, functionality, and weather resistance to support officers during outdoor operations when temperatures drop, even in regions where heavy snow is uncommon but chilly, damp, and windy conditions persist. The contract is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 315990, indicating it pertains to other textile product mills, and is open for responses until August 14, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 15, 2026. No set-aside preferences are specified, meaning all eligible vendors may compete without restrictions based on business size or classification. The outerwear must meet the operational demands of law enforcement, including mobility, Layer compatibility, moisture management, and thermal insulation without excessive bulk. Performance standards will likely include compliance with industry safety and durability benchmarks suitable for tactical use. While the place of performance and point of contact details are not provided, the contract will be managed through the Florida Marketplace vendor portal, and all submissions must be made via the online platform linked in the posting. Vendors are expected to demonstrate experience in producing similar gear for public safety or military applications and must be prepared to fulfill delivery schedules and quality assurance requirements as outlined in the full solicitation document.
