- Description
- Sources Sought: The U.S. Army Natick Soldier RDEC has a need to identify commercially available socks for potential use as a replacement for the socks currently used for physical fitness and training. The socks will be evaluated for use in a potential future user evaluation. NO SOLICITATION CURRENTLY EXISTS. The socks must be produced in the U.S of U.S. made fibers, but the Government is not mandating the type of fibers nor the weight of the socks. The only absolute requirements are: the socks shall meet or exceed the current requirements of the existing socks and be equal to or less in cost. Cost will be a determining factor. The socks should be crew or quarter length, have a cushioned sole, have the capability for moisture management, and reduce/prevent odor and athletes foot. These properties shall last for a minimum of 50 launderings. Companies interested in having their socks evaluated for possible future use must submit 12 pair (for testing purposes), along with an information paper (specification sheet) describing the socks, to include such things as sock name, place of manufacture, location of source of fibers, blend of fibers, pricing information (cost per pair or per dozen), any in-house testing data that is available and any other information that the company feels appropriate. The samples and information paper must be submitted no later than 5 December 2008 to Ms. Beverly Kimball, US Army Research Development & Engineering Command, Natick Soldier RDEC, ATTN: AMSRD-NSR-WP-WC, Room D-226, Kansas Street, Natick, MA 01760-5019. All responses must be in writing. NO telephonic responses will be accepted. EMAIL ADDRESS: Beverly.Kimball@us.army.mil
