Description
This notice updates the FedBizOpps notice posted on January 4, 2005, concerning FPI?s production in Federal Supply (FS) Group 84 - Clothing, Individual Equipment and Insignia. The January 4, 2005 notice detailed additional production due to a national exigency. Since that time, while still under the national exigency provision, FPI has received another request from the Department of Defense (DoD) for additional requirements for Navy Blue Coveralls. The Navy requested that FPI increase their monthly production for the Navy coveralls from 25,000 units per month in FY 2007 to 35,000 units per month in FY 2008 or approximately, 420,000 coveralls per year. The Clothing and Textiles Business Group?s original plan for FY 2008 was to reduce coveralls to 15,000 units per month. However, the new request will now result in an increase in production of and sales of Navy coveralls by 20,000 units per month over the FY 2008 plan. The increase will be in effect for a twelve-month period with deliveries beginning February 2008 through January 2009. It is anticipated that the request will increase the work clothing category above their previously projected sales for FY 2008. The additional coverall production will increase the work clothing ceiling by approximately $5 million for the designated time period. As with the previous request, the ?national exigency? provision is temporary, allowing FPI to exceed the normal sales ceilings while the exigency is in effect. It does not authorize FPI to utilize the higher level as a future production baseline. FPI and DoD are uncertain as to how long the current exigency will last due to the ongoing military war efforts and the continuing war on terrorism. At a minimum, however, it is expected that the increased production levels as a result of DoD?s expanded needs will continue through Fiscal Year 2009.
