How to bid on MIL-DTL-82122E_Spec_Review from the DEPT of the Navy
What the agency is buying and why a vendor would care
The Department of the Navy, specifically the Marine Corps Systems Command, is seeking industry feedback on a draft specification document, MIL-DTL-82122E. This document outlines the requirements for women’s evening-dress jackets for officers and staff noncommissioned officers.
This is not a contract opportunity. Instead, it's a chance for businesses in the clothing industry to review and comment on the proposed standards. Your input can help shape future specifications, which could be beneficial if you produce or supply similar apparel.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This request for feedback was published on July 22, 2026. All comments must be submitted by August 21, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.
At the deadline, the Marine Corps will stop accepting comments. After all feedback is reviewed and considered, the final specification document will be published online.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is ideal for businesses in the clothing and textile manufacturing sector, particularly those with experience in producing military uniforms or formal wear. Firms classified under NAICS code 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing) would find this relevant.
Any company that could potentially manufacture or supply these types of jackets in the future should consider providing feedback to ensure the specifications are practical and achievable.

Tips for preparing a competitive response

Focus your comments on areas where your company has specific expertise. Highlight any potential challenges in manufacturing or sourcing materials based on the draft specifications, and suggest practical alternatives or clarifications. Ensure your comments are clear, concise, and directly address specific sections or clauses of the document. Use the provided Consolidated Comments Form to structure your feedback effectively.
