- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground, Natick Contracting Division (ACC-APG-NCD), on behalf of Product Manager - Soldier Clothing and Individual Equipment (PdM-SCIE), intends to award Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contracts to Belleville Shoe Manufacturing Company, and Danner, Inc. The anticipated award date will be no later than 15 August 2017. This procurement is to buy test assets to initiate test and evaluation for an eventual program of record for a Cold Weather Combat Boot (CWCB). There is presently no U.S. Army issue boot designed for operational use in the -20°F to +14°F range. In order to address this current gap in environmental protection, NSRDEC (in coordination with PdM SCIE) will commence an effort to evaluate commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions with the potential to reduce or eliminate the gap, as well as improving the traction/slip resistance and Soldier acceptance compared to the currently issued Intermediate Cold/Wet Boot (ICWB). Current requirements call for initial tests in the winter of CY17/18. The Belleville C755AG and the Danner Rivot are the two models of COTS boots with built-in insulation that potentially fill the current operational gap and can meet the delivery requirements for initial testing in the winter of CY17/18. All questions pertaining to this acquisition shall be addressed, via email only, to Mr. Jason Papadopoulos at jason.g.papadopoulos.civ@mail.mil. Vendors: Belleville Shoe Manufacturing Company Danner, Inc.
