The jacket is available in two colors: Air Force Shade Sage Green and Tan. Key points include specifications for various components like the outer shell, lining, batting, and fasteners, emphasizing flame resistance and durability. Construction methods and operational requirements detail stitching, seam allowances, and the use of recycled materials where feasible. Inspection processes are categorized into first article checks, quality conformance, and component material inspections, with criteria to evaluate functionality and appearance. The purpose of this specification is multifaceted: to provide a uniform standard for jacket production, ensure the safety and functionality of materials used, and maintain high-quality manufacturing standards in supply to military personnel. This document supports federal procurement processes by detailing uniform requirements, ensuring compliance with military and defense specifications, and reflecting a commitment to quality in government contracts.

The document outlines the specification for a flame resistant woven cloth approved for use by the Air Force and all Department of Defense agencies. Under the classification of Class 1 and Class 2, the cloth is specified in Air Force Shades Sage Green 1705 and Tan 1657, respectively. The document details material composition, requiring a specific fiber blend primarily of meta-aramid, para-aramid, flame resistant rayon, and nylon, alongside strict physical and colorfastness requirements. One key aspect includes the fabric's performance in flame resistance, where it must pass tests for after flame time, char length, and static resistivity after multiple laundering cycles. Additionally, it mandates quality control inspections and compliance tests to ensure the fabric meets specified operational capabilities without health risks from hazardous substances. The intended use is for special clothing in flight, shipboard, and ground combat circumstances. Overall, the specification aims to ensure the fabric's durability, safety, and compliance with military standards, reflecting the rigorous requirements of government procurement processes.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is conducting informal market research to determine acquisition strategies for the Jacket Flyer’s Summer Weather and Jacket Flyer’s Cold Weather items, specified by purchase descriptions dated April and March 2025. DLA is exploring the potential for a Firm-Fixed Price contract or an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a three-year term and tiered pricing. The purpose is to assess industry capability for providing 36/P and 45/P jackets in Sage Green/Tan colors, aiming to enhance military support. The inquiry requests industry input on contract structuring, estimated pricing, lead times, and quantities for specified product groups (PGCs). Respondents are asked to submit insights on minimum order quantities, sustainability metrics, and delivery capabilities. Notably, there’s a focus on ensuring compliance with regulations governing domestic sourcing. The document emphasizes that this survey does not constitute a solicitation; it encourages vendors to provide information to assist in formulating an effective acquisition strategy, with responses due by June 2, 2025. Failure to respond is interpreted as lack of interest.
