Description
The U.S. Army is seeking information from potential vendors for the production of fabric to be used in riding breeches for the Old Guard Military Mounted Battalion. The required fabric must meet specific performance and aesthetic requirements, including a light navy/customs blue color, 4-way stretch fabric composition, and a minimum expected lifespan of 3-5 years under rigorous circumstances. The Army is looking for vendors who can provide information on their capabilities, experience, and pricing for the production of this fabric. The notice is not a request for quotes, bids, or proposals, but rather a sources sought notice to determine the availability of small businesses that can meet the requirement.

• The fabric composition must be 92% nylon and 8% spandex.
• The fabric must have a minimum expected lifespan of 3-5 years.
