2 Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Industry Assessments 2 Who We Are: Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Mission: Advance U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic objectives by ensuring an effective export control and treaty compliance system and promoting continued U.S. strategic technology leadership. Develops export control policies Issues export licenses Prosecutes violators to heighten national security Develops and implements programs that ensure a technologically superior defense industrial base Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE) Mission: OTE is the focal point within BIS for assessing the capabilities of the U.S. industrial base to support the national defense and the effectiveness of export controls.
3 Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Industry Assessments 3 OTE Industry Surveys & Assessments Background: Under Section 705 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 and Executive Order 13603, ability to survey and assess: Economic health and competitiveness Defense capabilities and readiness Data is exempt from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests. Enable industry and government agencies to: Share data and collaborate in order to ensure a healthy and competitive industrial base Monitor trends, benchmark industry performance, and raise awareness of diminishing manufacturing and technological capabilities
4 Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Industry Assessments 4 U.S. Textile, Apparel and Footwear Industry Assessments Background At the request of the U.S. Congress, BIS/OTE is updating a 2003 assessment of the U.S. Textile, Apparel and Footwear Industry. The updated assessment will focus on the health, competitiveness, and contribution of the industry to the U.S. economy. Other topics to be reviewed include: Identify dependencies on foreign sources for critical materials Evaluate potential threats to security due to foreign sourcing and dependency Locate points of weakness within the domestic supply chain Measure the industry s capacity to increase production in a national emergency Examine Berry Amendment and other Buy-American provisions Explore concerns and issues faced by domestic producers Project divided into two parts: Footwear survey deployed in November 2016 Textiles and Apparel survey deployed in February 2017
5 Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Industry Assessments Methodology Textiles and Apparel 5 Scope of survey and assessment was limited to U.S. manufacturers of textiles, textile products, and apparel, as defined and classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Excluded from the scope of the survey were organizations such as distributors/importers, service providers, suppliers, designers, etc. BIS decided to provide exemption from the survey requirement, if requested, for organizations with less than 10 employees. The primary product line reported (some respondents reported more than one capability) was used to categorize the respondent into the following: Textile Mills Fiber, Yarn, Thread Broadwoven Fabric Narrow Fabric Mill / Schiffli Machine Embroidery Non-Woven Fabric Knit Fabric Textile and Fabric Finishing Fabric Coating Textile Product Mills Carpet and Rug Curtain and Linen Textile Bag and Canvas Rope, Cordage, Twine, Tire Cord, or Tire Fabric Other Textile Products Apparel Manufacturers Hosiery and Socks Other Apparel Knitting Cut and Sew Apparel Contractor Men's and Boys' Cut and Sew Apparel Women's and Girls' Cut and Sew Apparel Other Cut and Sew Apparel Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Industry Assessments Preliminary, 2017

COMMENTS: Fixed Price Other (explain below) Best Value Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Best Value Best Value, Fixed Price, IDIQ While the method of competing/evaluation/selection may be "best value" the type of contracts are fixed price contracts. Fixed Price Fixed price contracts are the norm in our industry. Fixed Price Indefinite Quantity Contracts, specifically Not Applicable Indefinity Delivery Time and Materials Cost Reimbursement Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) LPTA- open bidding response to DLA Other Mandatory source from prime Source America set aside Sub Contract We don't have contracts with the U.S. Government, we are subcontracted # of Responses Q3b, A respondents
50 Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Industry Assessments 50 U.S. Textiles and Apparel - USG Contracting Does your organization have any recommendations to improve the overall U.S. Government acquisition process for textiles and apparel? Yes No Not Applicable Textiles Textile Products Apparel RECOMMENDATIONS (sample): Contracting officers need to have a working knowledge and understanding of the industry they are soliciting in before soliciting. Fixed pricing for multiple years does not work in the uniform industry. Due to volatility of raw materials and of government purchasing, a guess is all that a contractor can do. This results in higher prices to the government and volatile profitability to the contractor, so that neither party truly receives the best value. Cost adjustments for raw materials during contract, like the apparels have Delivery orders in 3 month increments do not give agencies volume buying power thereby increasing costs to the government. Nor do the short term orders allow for long term business planning/staffing/equipment for the agency. Deviations for product improvements should be allowed; obsolete specifications need to be updated. Q3b, A respondents
51 Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Industry Assessments U.S. Textiles and Apparel - USG Mandatory Sourcing 8 Would your organization suggest any changes in the mandatory source regulations or contracting practices? Yes No Not Sure Not Applicable Textiles Textile Products Apparel Comments: Change the ranking of priorities. Source America, then NIB, and then FPI. Do not allow FPI/UNICOR to bid on small business set asides. Eliminate FPI from offering on any type of Small Business Set-Aside Eliminate Mandatory Sourcing. In many cases suppliers are no longer in business. Federal Prison Industries has to go. Federal gov't is subsidizing the cost of sewn products by using prison labor. Why are we training prisoners for the very few sewing jobs that are still around? Q3b, B respondents
52 Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Industry Assessments 52 U.S. Footwear USG Contracting Select the contract type your organization most frequently uses to do business with the U.S. Government. Best Value Not Applicable Fixed Price Time and Materials COMMENTS: Best Value Best value in military boots defaults primarily to cost. Most contractors are deemed equivalent so best value tradeoffs default to cost. Small Businesses are poorly represented in solicitations. Best Value via TLS We prefer best value procurements as it includes past performance (i.e. delivery and quality record) as an evaluation factor. The majority of our contracts are firm-fixed price. Other (specify below) Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) # of Responses Fixed Price IDIQ has also been a factor in all previous contracts. Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Always been this way Q3a, E.2 14 respondents
53 Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Industry Assessments 53 U.S. Footwear USG Contracting # of Respondents Does your organization have any recommendations to improve the overall U.S. Government acquisition process for footwear? 7 5 RECOMMENDATIONS: Expand Small Business utilization in solicitations and stop removing Small Business Lots during negotiations for price. This defeats the purpose of protecting Small Businesses. Quicker turn-around times from market survey to pre-solicitation to solicitation to contract award. Longer lead times are needed from award to the initial delivery of product. Need government to rely in a more faithful manner on expert footwear manufacturers as it relates to product specifications and the amount of time needed to manufacture product with the highest possible quality. We would recommend the elimination of small business set-asides and HUB Zone pricing advantages. Shorten the time from solicitation to award Shorting the amount of time from bid closings to award 0 Yes No Q3a, E.4 12 respondents
