The deadline for submitting applications is February 4, 2025, at 10:10 AM. The contract execution period is 30 months from the date of signing.

The subject of the order is the production and delivery of tactical uniforms as part of the basic order, including:

  • 402 sets of prototype batch tactical uniforms,
  • 402 sets of prototype batch summer tactical uniforms,
  • 102 sets of prototype batch women’s tactical uniforms,
  • 102 sets of prototype batch women’s summer tactical uniforms,
  • Materials for laboratory testing, with 5 linear meters of each fabric used in the uniforms, along with a complete set of laboratory test results for product safety or OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification for product class II.

Additionally, upon the decision to continue development work, and depending on the needs, the contracting authority is entitled to expand the contract scope as follows:

  • Delivery of 8 sets of samples for the trial batch of tactical uniforms, along with materials for laboratory testing (5 linear meters of each fabric used in the uniforms), accompanied by a complete set of laboratory test results for product safety or OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification for product class II. This stage may be executed after the contracting authority completes testing of the prototype batch and develops the Military Technical and Technological Documentation (WDTT) for the trial batch.
  • Delivery of 1,000 sets of the trial batch of tactical uniforms.
  • Delivery of samples for mass production, including 40 sets of tactical uniforms and 10 linear meters of main materials for their production, along with a complete set of laboratory test results for product safety on the materials used for manufacturing. This stage may be carried out after the prototype batch testing is completed and the WDTT for mass production is developed.

Since October 2022, soldiers of the 18th Mechanized Division, including the 21st Podhale Rifles Brigade, have been testing prototype uniforms in the Lampart (leopard in Polish) camouflage pattern as part of the Advanced Individual Combat System “Tytan” program.

In November 2024, during the closed-door “Szpejowisko” conference held in Zegrze, near Warsaw, new camouflage proposals for the Polish Armed Forces were presented. In addition to the Lampart pattern, two new patterns, WS 31 and WS 62, were also introduced (IWspSZ on new uniform patterns WS 31 and WS 62).
