Solicitation # N6817126QN049
The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Navsup Flc Sigonella Naples Office, has issued a Sources Sought notice under solicitation number N6817126QN049 to conduct market research for custom-embroidered firefighter duty apparel and footwear intended for delivery to Naples, Italy. This notice is not a request for quotes and no contract will be awarded from this announcement; its sole purpose is to gather information on industry capabilities to inform a future formal solicitation. The requirement is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 315250, with full compliance with the Berry Amendment (10 U.S.C. § 4862) mandated for all textile and apparel items, meaning every component must be grown, reprocessed, reused, or produced in the United States.

Standard printed or screen-printed logos are prohibited; all logos must be digitized and embroidered with high thread counts to ensure durability under extreme conditions, and no additional fees will be paid for digitization, artwork proofing, or machine setup, which must be factored into the unit price. All items must be delivered FOB Destination to a designated military receiving facility in Naples, with the contractor bearing full responsibility for shipping, freight, transit insurance, customs clearance, and delivery costs, including strict adherence to international shipping and customs requirements for Italy. Respondents must submit a Capability Statement via email to Daniela Pollano by the deadline of June 10, 2026, including company name, address, point of contact, CAGE code, UEI number, socioeconomic status under NAICS 315250, a statement confirming 100% Berry Amendment compliance, a summary of manufacturing and embroidery capabilities, experience with OCONUS logistics to European military installations, and disclosure of any existing federal contracting vehicles through which the products are available.
