Authorized Source of Supply: ReadyOne Industries, Inc., El Paso, TX
Contracting Activity: DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY, DLA TROOP SUPPORT

    The Unisex Improved Coat, Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniform 
(IHWCU), Permethrin, Unisex and Women's, Army were administratively 
added to the Procurement List 10/25/2017 in accordance with 41 CFR 51-
6.13(b), as an additional size, color or other variation of an existing 
PL product to meet 50% of the requirement for the Army Contracting 
Command--Aberdeen Proving Ground, Natick Contracting Division, with DLA 
Troop Support added later. However, when possible and to ensure clarity 
on existing PL requirements for military garments, or other applicable 
products, the Committee is departing from stating the mandatory 
purchase requirement as a percentage of a contracting activity's 
overall requirement and is instead stating the mandatory purchase 
requirement as a specified annual quantity of a garment or product. For 
the Coat, Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniform (IHWCU), Permethrin, 
Unisex and Women's, the contracting activity and the authorized sources 
of supply, assisted by the central nonprofit agency, have agreed that 
the mandatory purchase requirement is 70,900 (Unisex) and 20,100 
(Women's) units annually. The Committee intends to amend the

[[Page 25867]]

Procurement List and reflect the agreed annual quantity. Additionally, 
for administrative purposes, the Committee is assigning a new PL number 
to the IHWCU Coat, Women's, which will sever the Women's IHWCU garments 
as a legacy from garments no longer being produced and increase the 
Committee's overall efficiency when processing future transactions.
