Status of the Natural Resources Management Uniform Program
Yesterday, our FY19 uniform funds and agreement were finally entered into NPS financial and business management system which will enable the Contracting Officer to prepare a purchase request and send a task order to VF Imagewear later this week. Upon receipt, VF will need a couple of days to process the task order - so- if everything goes smoothly and there are no further hurdles with the NPS purchase request, I'm anticipating the opening of our program next week.

With anticipation of opening next week, I encourage everyone to work with their local Uniform POCs to ensure that employee uniform accounts are accurate and up to date. Changes can be made now to avoid any further delay once we are able to order.

I appreciate your continued patience and I know the direct impact that this has caused nationwide. I'll send a follow-up e-mail as soon as our site is opened. Please forward this message as appropriate.

Senior Policy Advisor for Park Ranger Activities
