Joint Clothing and Textile Modernization Initiative (JCTMI)
The U.S. Army seeks innovative software solutions, preferably commercial or commercially modified, to modernize clothing and textile acquisition through a prototyping project. The goal is to adopt Apparel Tech Packs and a commercial Product Lifecycle Management system to strengthen the industrial base and supply chain resiliency. Awards will be made via Other Transaction Authority, with initial prototype capabilities expected to be delivered rapidly after award. To be eligible, vendors must include a non-traditional defense contractor, be a small business or NTDC, or cover at least one-third of project costs from non-government funds. No specific budget amount or performance location is mentioned in the description.
