RAYON YARN

DLA Troop Support , an activity of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), is the Defense Department's principal
buyer of military flags ( AF and Army Organizational and JROTC Flags) and metal and embroidered insignias.
Numerous heraldic specifications require rayon as a component in a wide variety of items purchased by DLA
Troop Support such as organizational flags. For example, MIL-F-2682H, MIL-F-14648, MIL-DTL-14650, MILDTL-
11589 and DDD-F-416F covers rayon material for use in all the Army and Air Force Organizational flags
and JROTC flags.
Determinations have been made that rayon yarn/fiber is not currently produced in the United States or its
prossessions. There is currently a Domestic Non-Availability Determination in effect for Rayon. DLA Troop
Support is hereby providing producers of rayon yarn/fiber complying with specification and domestic source
and content requirements of the Berry Amendment and opportunity to identify themselves. In accordance with

the United States or its possessions. If your firm meets this criteria and produces rayon/fiber domestically,
please submit your firm's name and point of contact to DLA Troop Support, ATTN Industrial Specialists , via
