Berry Compliant Tactical Gear: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Berry Amendment?
A federal statute (10 U.S.C. § 4862) requiring that Department of Defense funds be used to purchase certain items — including clothing, textiles, and related equipment — that are grown, reprocessed, and manufactured entirely in the United States. For sewn tactical gear, that means US fabric, US components, and US production, not just final assembly stateside.
Who needs Berry compliant gear?
Military units and DoD programs spending appropriated funds on covered items — the requirement follows the money, not the buyer's preference. When a solicitation invokes Berry, imported gear doesn't qualify regardless of quality: sourcing is pass/fail. Contracting officers, supply sergeants, and primes teaming on DoD contracts all live with this daily.
What Berry compliant gear does EOD Gear supply?
Sewn goods — pouches, bags, packs, and carry systems manufactured in the US with US-made components — plus tools and mission equipment supporting Berry-invoked requirements. Sewn EOD Gear brand items also carry our career-long guarantee. Full manufacturing and compliance detail lives at Berry Compliance & ISO 9001 Manufacturing.
How is Berry compliance verified?
Through documented material traceability — knowing where fabric, webbing, hardware, and thread originate — maintained under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system. When a contracting officer asks for sourcing documentation, the paper trail exists. That's the difference between claiming Berry and being able to prove it.
