Dress Cap Purchase Order

The Department of the Army, through the Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) at Fort Belvoir, is procuring Ceremonial Blue Service Caps for the 3d Infantry Regiment, known as The Old Guard. This requirement covers the production and delivery of Army Dress Service Caps for personnel assigned to ceremonial units performing burial honors. The scope includes specific headwear designs for male and female enlisted personnel, as well as company grade and field grade officers. Solicitation W91QV126QA013 establishes a firm-fixed-price requirement for 1,470 total caps to be delivered to Fort Myer, Virginia. The procurement package includes a Statement of Work, a technical Purchase Description, and a size distribution table. Delivery must be completed within 150 calendar days after receiving the order, with responses due by June 28, 2026. A Justification and Approval (J&A) indicates an intent to award this contract on a sole-source basis to Kingform Cap Co Inc. The J&A states that the Army lacks the technical data packages or patterns required to manufacture these unique ceremonial items, and the identified vendor is the only source possessing the necessary patterns to meet the regiment's appearance standards. This firm-fixed-price purchase order requires all items to meet the technical standards in Purchase Description USPD S-16-1E. This document covers the design and material composition for headwear made of felt and wool blends. The solicitation includes size and quantity tables to ensure the manufacturing process covers the full range of head sizes for male and female personnel. Performance is governed by technical specifications in Purchase Description USPD S-16-1E, which mandates specific materials like fur felt, wool felt, and polyester/wool blends.
