ForewordThe Australian Defence Force Clothing and Personal Equipment Procurement Plan (ADF CPEPP) 2010-14 (4th edition) is designed to provide industry with sufficient guidance to enable broad business planning. Similar to the Defence Capability Plan, the ADF CPEPP can be used as a reference tool for industry to:

Obtain early information and guidance on the Australian Defence Force’s ●clothing and personal equipment plans over the next five years;

Better understand Australian Defence Force’s clothing and personal ●equipment requirements;

Contact identified personnel for clarification of requirements or to suggest ●potential strategies for meeting the requirement; and

Identify potential opportunities for Australian industry participation in ●clothing and personal equipment acquisition.

This edition of the ADF CPEPP covers 22 competitive tender opportunities across the Clothing Systems Program Office and Soldier Modernisation Systems Program Office.

In addition to, and managed concurrently with the competitive tendering activities presented in this plan, there will be other procurements conducted throughout financial year 2009-10 for which the acquisition strategy is yet to be determined. These procurements are essential in order to meet immediate ADF operational and urgent capability requirements.

I commend the ADF CPEPP 2010-14 to the Australian Textile Clothing and Footwear industries.

Plan OverviewThe Australian Defence Force Clothing & Personal Equipment Procurement Plan 2010-2014 (ADF CPEPP 2010-14) provides details of clothing, personal field equipment and associated products planned to be tendered with a contract value above $80,000 (GST inclusive).

This plan provides the basis upon which the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO), supported by the Australian clothing and personal equipment industries, will deliver world class clothing and personal equipment to the Australian Defence Force.

About this PlanEach year the ADF CPEPP is subject to periodic review, as changing strategic circumstances, new technologies, operational needs, finance and changed priorities influence the specific proposals contained in the plan. In such circumstances, projects may be accelerated, deferred, cancelled, enlarged or diminished as circumstances change and new projects are introduced. Potential industry suppliers should therefore note that the ADF CPEPP 2010-14 includes proposals that can and may undergo change over time.

8

ADF Combat and Non-Combat Clothing and Personal Field Equipment

ADF Clothing includes combat and non-combat clothing such as uniforms and accoutrements for general duties and non-operational roles. ADF Personal Field Equipment includes field equipment carried and operated by soldiers.

Major risks associated with this plan include the capacity of clothing and personal equipment industries to meet ADF combat and non-combat clothing and personal equipment, managing locally-based agencies, maintaining product quality and changes in local supply arrangements.

Further, as the ADF’s requirements change, the provision of suitable clothing and equipment will need to continue to evolve. Enduring factors that influence these requirements include:

Nature and scale of military operations; ●

Preparation for future contingencies; ●

Emerging technologies and commercial capability to deliver these ●technologies;

Interoperability with allies and coalition partners; ●

Australian industry innovation; ●

Size, scale and doctrine of the ADF; and ●

Funding. ●

Whilst the ADF CPEPP 2010-14 is intended to inform and aid business planning, new requirements can emerge quickly and as such industry should rely on the solicitation documentation as the authoritative statement of requirement.

Competitive tenders identified in the ADF CPEPP 2010-14 will be released through the government tender website, AustTender, at www.tenders.gov.au.

The ADF Clothing and Soldier Modernisation Budgets

The clothing and personal equipment budget is significant and the Government and the Australian taxpayer expect that Defence procurement is underpinned by the principle of value for money.

Current indications are that expenditure for combat and non-combat clothing and personal equipment sustainment going forward for the next five years will be between $90m to $100m per annum including operational support activities and unique Service initiatives.

The expenditure in financial year (FY) 2008-09 was $108m for the provision of combat and non-combat clothing and personal field equipment to support operations and training. This supported initiatives such as the Enhanced Land Force , Hardened and Networked Army and the Australian Defence Force Gap Year Program.

Proposal Profiles

Outline profiles for proposals include the following subsets:

Scope ● – a detailed description of the requirement including a short description of the product, its purpose and planned use;

Proposed acquisition ● – lists the proposed tendering strategy and expected timing the tender will be released to the market;

Planned quantities ● – indicative quantities based on projected usage rates;

Product history ● – brief explanation as to whether this is a new requirement or a tender for an existing item. A performance statement has also been included to articulate the key characteristics of the product. This also indicates whether the product is made to a military or commercial standard;

Planned expenditure ● – details the anticipated annual expenditure per annum and the estimated contract value for the term of Contract or Standing Offer; and,

Point of contact ● – lists the contact point of the relevant fleet manager.

The date of tender release is an estimate only. The timing of tender release is based on the most likely dates that the DMO will visit the marketplace and takes into account existing contractual relations and options for extensions under existing agreements.

The planned expenditure information assists in providing a broad guide for planning and will encourage early involvement of industry in dialogue on projects in excess of $80,000 (GST inclusive).

12

Value for Money and Non-Discriminatory Procurement

The DMO follows Commonwealth procurement policies, including the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines, for the procurement of clothing and personal field equipment in order to meet ADF requirements. The Australian Government procurement policy framework is non-discriminatory.

The DMO selects tendered products based on value for money, which includes encouraging competition by ensuring products are considered for their suitability and intended purpose and not on the basis of origin. However, for certain requirements, specific Australian Industry Capabilities may be sought in the requested solicitation documentation.

13

The choice to proceed with procurement will continue to be made on a ‘Value for Money’ basis that considers all relevant aspects including commercial requirements, schedule, specifications, quality, tender conditions and price. The criteria will be identified in the tender documentation and used as a basis for evaluation during the source selection and contract negotiation process.

DMO will make reasonable efforts to notify industry of any in-year changes to the ADF CPEPP through the clothing industry newsletter ‘Threads’.
