What this opportunity is

The Department of Defense intends to sole source a contract for various sizes of white cotton and leather gloves, totaling 1,000 units, under NAICS 315990. This opportunity is set aside for small businesses, and it allows for "brand name or equal" products, meaning that while T&M Manufacturing's gloves are referenced, other manufacturers can submit bids if their products meet specified requirements. Interested businesses should note that this is a special notice, indicating they should track the opportunity rather than submit a bid at this time.
