Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the sole-source procurement of MOLLE Large Field Pack Sets and Pack Frames. This action is necessary to sustain the industrial base capacity of Point Blank Protective Apparel & Uniforms LLC while a competitive follow-on acquisition is being awarded. The estimated maximum value for this procurement is $12,400,000.00.
Purpose
This justification supports a sole-source award to maintain the production lines and skilled workforce of Point Blank Protective Apparel & Uniforms, LLC. This prevents a loss of critical industrial base capacity and ensures readiness for potential surges in demand or national emergencies. It serves as a bridge to cover the U.S. Army's one-year demand until DLA's competitive acquisition is awarded and in production, estimated for August 2026.
