Successful candidate fabrics could be used in future uniform procurements. Candidates: To respond to this RFI, the Government requests interested suppliers to identify material(s) that are within their production capabilities. The Government reserves the right to conduct their own testing to verify that items submitted meet the outlined material requirements. Interested suppliers are REQUIRED to submit the following to enable the Government to efficiently evaluate the viability and benefit of the proposed material(s): 1. A material description, to include material/fiber content (by %), product description, performance characteristics, production lead time, fiber production location, yarn production location, weaving/knitting location, finishing location, and illustrations/photographs with corresponding descriptive information that best describes the material.
