Quick Summary
The Department of the Interior (DOI) is hosting an Industry Day on March 27, 2026, at the Main Interior Building in Washington, D.C. This event is for market research regarding a future multi-agency acquisition of uniform components, with a strong focus on U.S.-manufactured uniforms and domestically sourced materials. Vendors capable of providing these items are encouraged to participate.
Purpose & Scope
The Industry Day aims to engage with industry to gather input for a future solicitation covering civilian uniforms, patches, insignia, headwear, footwear, outerwear, and a full-service web-based ordering system for DOI and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers uniform programs. The DOI is exploring requirements that would prioritize or mandate U.S. manufacturing, consistent with federal Made in America policies and domestic sourcing priorities. The event will include an overview of anticipated requirements and opportunities for individual meetings and exchanges to understand commercial practices, sourcing, and market constraints.
Event Details
The Industry Day will be held on March 27, 2026, at 11:00 AM EDT at the Main Interior Building (1849 C Street NW, Washington, DC 20240). Specific details like entry protocols and room numbers will be provided in a future amendment. Attendees will receive an overview of the government's anticipated requirements and instructions for the next phase, which may include virtual or in-person discussions.
