Description

SOURCES SOUGHT: The Program Manager - Clothing and Individual Equipment has a need to identify commercially available towels. All the items will be tested/evaluated for potential future use by the U.S. Army as a replacement for the towel currently in the clothing bag. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO SOLICITATION FOR THIS ITEM. All items must be produced in the U.S. of U.S. made fibers, but the Government is not mandating the type of fibers to be used. The color is not a factor at this time, but it will hav e to match whatever the standard Army color is for the item, if approved for use. The size of the towel shall be at a minimum 40 inches long by 20 inches wide. The new/improved features the Army is looking for in a new towel are: quicker drying, better w ater absorption, durability, potentially lighter weight and able to be easily folded and stored. Cost will be a determining factor. Companies interested in having their items considered for possible future use must sumbit 5 of each item (for testing purp oses), along with an information paper (specification sheet) describing the fabric used to produce the item, in detail, to include such things as fabric name, place of manufacture, location of source of fibers, blend of material, current uses for fabric, p ricing information (cost per item) and any other information that the company feels appropriate. The samples and information paper must be submitted no later than 31 January 2005 to Ms. Pam Moriarty, U.S. Army RDECOM, Natick Soldier Center, ATTN: AMSRD-N SC-IP-A, Room D-226, Kansas Street, Natick, MA. 01760-5019. All responses must be in writing. No telephonic responses will be accepted. EMAIL ADDRESS: pamela.moriarty@natick.army.mil.
