Quick Summary

The Department of the Interior (DOI) is hosting an Industry Day on March 27, 2026, to conduct market research for a future multi-agency acquisition of uniform items. This initiative emphasizes U.S.-manufactured uniforms and domestically sourced materials. Interested vendors must register by March 23, 2026, 11:00 AM MDT.

Purpose

This Special Notice and Industry Day aim to gather industry input on acquisition strategies, commercial practices, domestic sourcing availability, and fulfillment constraints for a future solicitation. The DOI is exploring requirements that prioritize Made in America policies for uniform components.

Scope of Future Acquisition

The anticipated acquisition will cover civilian and law enforcement uniforms, patches, insignia, headwear, footwear, outerwear, and related items for an estimated 35,000 employees across seven DOI bureaus (NPS, USPP, FWS, BLM, BOR, BSEE, BIA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Key features include modern fabrics, true sizing, updated patterns, maximization of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) products, and a web-based ordering system (WBOS).
