Authorized Source of Supply: Goodwill Industries of South Florida, Inc., Miami, FL

Authorized Source of Supply: ReadyOne Industries, Inc., El Paso, TX

Contracting Activity: DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY, DLA TROOP SUPPORT

The Unisex Improved Coat, Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniform (IHWCU), Permethrin, Unisex and Women's, Army were administratively added to the Procurement List 10/25/2017 in accordance with 41 CFR 51-6.13(b), as an additional size, color or other variation of an existing PL product to meet 50% of the requirement for the Army Contracting Command—Aberdeen Proving Ground, Natick Contracting Division, with DLA Troop Support added later. However, when possible and to ensure clarity on existing PL requirements for military garments, or other applicable products, the Committee is departing from stating the mandatory purchase requirement as a percentage of a contracting activity's overall requirement and is instead stating the mandatory purchase requirement as a specified annual quantity of a garment or product. For the Coat, Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniform (IHWCU), Permethrin, Unisex and Women's, the contracting activity and the authorized sources of supply, assisted by the central nonprofit agency, have agreed that the mandatory purchase requirement is 70,900 (Unisex) and 20,100 (Women's) units annually. The Committee intends to amend the Procurement List and reflect the agreed annual quantity. Additionally, for administrative purposes, the Committee is assigning a new PL number to the IHWCU Coat, Women's, which will sever the Women's IHWCU garments as a legacy from garments no longer being produced and increase the Committee's overall efficiency when processing future transactions.
