BACKGROUND  \nThe determination of using federal funds to purchase wearing apparel is based on the principle that every government employee is required to present themselves for official duty in proper attire according to the requirements of their position.

If, under these limited circumstances, a clothing item is required, then an exception is allowed for items designated as uniforms or protective clothing, provided these items meet certain specific and strict requirements. The three basic types of wearing apparel are: ordinary wearing apparel/normal business work attire; protective clothing and equipment; and uniforms.  \n5. DEFINITIONS  \na.  Contracting Officer.
