JOFOC PR16090340 - Erbil-RSO-LGF 5.11 by Brand Name

The U.S. Department of State is seeking a sole‑source purchase of 5.11 brand tactical uniforms (pants, jackets, and packable jackets) for personnel assigned to the Erbil Regional Security Office – LGF. The agency argues that 5.11 has been the standard uniform supplier for twelve years, and existing inventory and compatibility requirements preclude competition. The solicitation does not include a competitive bidding process, price ceiling, or delivery schedule; it simply documents the justification for a single‑source award. • Item: 5.11 Tactical Pants, Jackets, Packable Jackets (brand‑name only) • Quantity: Not specified in the excerpt • End‑user: Department of State personnel at Erbil‑RSO‑LGF • Procurement method: Simplified Acquisition Procedure – sole‑source brand‑name justification under FAR 13.106‑1(b)(1) • Contracting office: Office of Acquisitions Management, Department of State • Required compliance: Must maintain uniformity with existing 5.11 inventory • Evaluation: Not applicable – award will be made to the sole source (5.11) once justification is approved.
