WINN, (508) 233-4125 (Site Code DAAN02) MODIFICATION OF SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Army Soldier Systems Command announced a requirement for the MARINE CORPS GLOVE/MITT SYSTEM in the 29 December 1997 edition of the Commerce Business Daily (CBD). This requirement is now hereby changed as follows. DELETE: The palms of both the Glove and mitt shells shall be made of an extremely durable, grip-enhancing, hydrophobic, lightweight polymeric material (with higher melting point than Toughtek material) which extends over the fingertips to the middle knuckle area on the back-hand side. REPLACE WITH: The palms of both the Glove and mitt shells shall be made of an extremely durable, grip-enhancing, hydrophobic, lightweight polymeric material (with higher melting point than Toughtek material). On the Mutant Mitt (or equivalent) only, this material shall extend over the fingertips (digits 3, 4, and 5) to the middle knuckle area on the back-hand side. DELETE: Standard Glove Liners and Modular Mitt Liners shall stay locked into their outershells during wear and when quickly doffing the glove without having the Liners pull out with the hand. REPLACE WITH: Standard Glove Liners and Modular Mitt Liners shall stay in their outershells during wear, and when quickly doffing the glove/mitt, without having the Liners pull out with the hand. In the case of the glove this shall be done through the use of a locking system such as velcro, or similar. This is a performance requirement; alternative approaches to ensuring the liners stay in are encouraged. DELETE: FAR 52.206-6 (from the seventh sentence from the end of the original announcement). The original solicitation was, and this amendment is, published to encourage the maximum partipation of industry in this acquisition, providing for full and open competition among responsible small business enterprises.
