SHADE COUNCIL OF COLONELS & CAPTAINS 

JOINT AGREEMENT FOR SHADE IN CLOTHING AND TEXTILES

Executive Summary

The Shade Council of Colonels and Captains (SCC&C) was formed in 2013 to address 

ongoing issues with Shade management within the Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA) 

Clothing and Textiles (C&T) Supply Chain. The Council consists of key Colonels and 

Captains from each branch Service (Army, Air Force, Navy NEXCOM, Marine Corps, and 

Coast Guard) and from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Clothing and Textiles (C&T) 

Directorate serving as program managers and directors for uniform and textile procurement 

programs for the Department of Defense (DOD). In addition, the Council is diversified by 

including advisory, non-voting participation by leaders from the American Apparel and 

Footwear Association - Government Contract Committee (AAFA-GCC), mandatory source 

vendors, and various industry members. The Council is convened as an authoritative 

decision-making body for shade-related matters. 

Shade issues have seriously impacted the DOD military uniform program supply chains for 

many years. In 2013, a survey of Industry and Government players within the C&T supply 

chain identified major concerns regarding shade management throughout the process. 

Government analysis showed that a significant portion of C&T procurements experienced 

regular shade failures, resulting in added expense and procurement delays, often on items 

where shade was not considered a critical feature. Industry parties reported financial strain 

due to frequent fabric lot rejections and processing delays, as well as difficulty in working 

with Government requirements. 

The Council met with the key stakeholders both from Government and Industry, gathered 

their recommendations, and selected seven major shade topics to pursue for analysis and 

improvement. Seeking to reduce costs, increase effectiveness, and find common-sense 

approaches to historic problems, the Council assigned seven Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), 

consisting of experienced government and industry members with interest, to propose 

solutions to achieve the following goals: 

 Establish Shade Critical and Non-critical Items

 Establish Shade Criteria in Correct Substrate Prior to Solicitation

 Empower DLA to make rational decisions on Shade Failures

 Establish Shade Waiver time and Consistent Shade Waiver Fees

 Establish Shade Tolerance Ranges for Solid Colors

 Incorporate the Use of Spectrophotometric Color Measurement

 Adopt a tiered Shade Approval Process based on Past Performance

1. Shade Standard Development

For every item where shade evaluation is applicable, a permanent or temporary shade standard shall be 

listed on all solicitations and available prior to the start of a contract. Government and Industry parties 

will work together to establish a permanent standard in the correct substrate within six months of 

contract award. Timeframes may vary depending upon availability of production lots. 

1.1. Permanent Standards 

If there is not a permanent physical shade standard in place at the time of contract award, Government 

and Industry parties will work together to establish a permanent standard in the correct substrate within 

six months of contract award. 

Within six months of contract award, if a permanent shade standard has not been established, the 

temporary standard may become the official standard. In this case, DLA will set tolerances against this 

new official standard based on production lots submitted during the first six months.

1.1.1. Instrumental Readings for Permanent Standards 

Instrumental values for solid colored shade standards will be listed and approved by Service and 

published on the website: 

www.landandmaritime.dla.mil/offices/testcenter/shades.asp

The instrumental values are for reference only. Shade evaluation shall be performed in accordance with 

contract requirements. 

1.2. Temporary Standards 

If a contract has a temporary shade standard, DLA and the Services will work with Industry to identify 

potential permanent shade standards within six months from the contract award. 

1.2.1. Instrumental Readings for Temporary Standards 

Instrumental values for solid colored temporary shade standards will be listed and approved by Service 

and published on the website: 

www.landandmaritime.dla.mil/offices/testcenter/shades.asp

The instrumental values are for reference only. Shade evaluation shall be performed in accordance with 

contract requirements.

1.3. Tolerances 

Instrumental values for tolerance ranges will be listed and approved by Service and published on the 

website: 

www.landandmaritime.dla.mil/offices/testcenter/shades.asp

The instrumental values are for reference only. Shade evaluation shall be performed in accordance with 

contract requirements. 

1.3.1. Use of Physical Shade Tolerances in Evaluation 

When a physical shade tolerance is available, DLA will use that tolerance in lieu of instrumental 

reading, unless otherwise stated in the contract. 

1.3.2. Use of Instrumental Readings in Evaluation 

When physical shade tolerances are not available, the following instrumental tolerance range (DeltaE) 

may be used: 

For solid color shade critical items the tolerance value for Delta Ecmc will be less than 0.6 

For solid color non shade critical items the tolerance value for Delta Ecmc will be less than 1.1 

1.3.3. Submission of Proposed Standard or Tolerance Material 

Suppliers will utilize Shade Standard and Tolerance Evaluation Form to submit potential standard or 

tolerance samples to DLA Product Testing Center (DLA PTC) for consideration. 

Form for standard or tolerance submittal will be posted at: 

www.landandmaritime.dla.mil/offices/testcenter/shades.asp

2. Shade Classification

2.1. Determination of Critical and Non Critical Shade Classification 

Clothing and Textile end items will be categorized as Shade Critical or Non-Shade Critical prior to DLA 

Troop Support sustainment. 

During the Supply Request Package (SRP) process, the Service will indicate the Shade Criticality 

determination (Critical/Non-Critical) for the end item and for any applicable component materials.

If end item shade criticality is not provided by the Services, DLA will determine shade criticality.

APPENDIX A: NAVY COMMENTS AND EXCEPTIONS 

Subject: Navy Comments and Exceptions to Shade Council of Colonels and Captains 

As the lead Navy signature on the Shade Council of Colonels and Captains, I sign this document with 

the following exceptions and statements of understanding. 

1. NAVSUP/NEXCOM represents the majority of the Navy Shade Waivers (approximately 80%), but I

don’t necessarily represent the stance on support of NAVAIR and NAVSEA. I do endeavor to

improve corroboration with them so that Navy will have a unified voice.

2. I do not agree with para 3.3. Although Navy endeavors to achieve the time standards, we cannot be

held accountable for meeting these standards, and I do not agree or support 3.3.2 (DLA making a

decision on emergency waivers where Navy does not meet processing times).

3. I disagree with 1.3.2 regarding instrumental readings, until NCTRF’s Ms. Kate Young explicitly

concurs.

4. I strongly believe industry should be required to submit a justification when requesting a waiver in

3.1.

5. In order to establish more clarity in this document, a glossary should be developed that includes

pertinent terms like shade standard, shade tolerances, and instrument readings, etc.

CHARTER 

fortbe 

COMPOSITION AND CONDUCT 

of the 

SHADE COUNCIL OF COLONELS & CAPTAINS 

(SCC&C) 

I. AUTHORITY 

The Shade Council of Colonels and Captains (SCC&C) is established by the key Colonels and 

Captains serving as program managers and directors for uniform and textiles procurement programs. 

Specifically, the Colonels and Captains of each branch service (Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Coast 

Guard) and from Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA) Clothing and Textile (C&T) Supply Chain will be the 

Council I Steering Committee members and signatories of the charter. The Colonels and Captains will have 

the decision making authority on shade related matters and the authority is vested on the SCC&C as per the 

decision from the first Council meeting held on March 6, 2013. 

The authority of the SCC&C is limited by applicable law and policy, and will in no way be construed 

to supersede contractual obligations in place between DLA, or the service branches, and other entities. 

IT. PURPOSE OF THE SHADE COUNCIL 

This Charter shall serve as the foundation for the establishment of a Shade Council of Colonels and 

Captains ("SCC&C"). The charter provides the guidelines for and identification of the procedural 

interrelationships between the members of the SCC&C. The purpose ofthe Council is to develop strategies 

that will resolve or improve the effectiveness and efficiency of shade related procedures in connection with 

C&T acquisitions. 

The SCC&C will focus on resolving and dampening the impact of shade problems across the entire 

DOD procurement enterprise -from the dye manufacturing plant to the warfighter in the field. The SCC&C 

seeks to identify the most effective and efficient shade processes and solutions for implementation by the 

military service branches, DLA Clothing & Textiles (C&T), DLA Laboratory and Industry. Among the issues 

the Council will address are establishment of tolerances for all standards of shades, rational shade evaluation 

process flows and decision points, shade performance analysis, shade criticality mapping and waivers. The 

SCC&C seeks to minimize shade problems, and find common-sense approaches for decreasing (or 

eliminating) process lead times within the shade waiver process. The SCC&C advocates stringent 

development of objective shade standards and tolerances on the front end of the procurement process for C&T 

items. The SCC&C advocates standardization oftolerances. The SCC&C advocates identification of shade as 

APPENDIX C: Shade Council of Colonels & Captains Charter 
critical or non-critical at the front end of the procurement process and strives to ensure that tolerances are 

developed in accordance with the criticality of shade to the end item. The SCC&C may periodically appoint 

collaborative teams-Integrated Process Teams (IPTs), comprised of members ofDLA, the services, and 

industry, or subsets of these parties-to address specific shade issues and processes to attain and increase 

combat effectiveness. When tasked, IPTs will present their fmdings to the SCC&C either in person or in 

writing for approval and adoption. When specific process changes or policies are recommended for adoption 

by the SCC&C, the IPT will present specific process change recommendations in writing for signature. 

SCC&C will document agreement to the change(s) in policy, process, and/or procedure by signing the process 

change recommendation document. Tasks for formed IPT must be approved by the SCC&C in the form of a 

written charter or in the form of meeting minutes from SCC&C meetings. 

III. COMPOSITION OF THE SCC&C 

The Council shall consist of a lead service 06/GS-15-level program manager or director from each 

military service branch's Clothing and Textiles (C&T)-related acquisition program and DLA C&T. In addition, the 

DLA Laboratory, Senior Leaders from the American Apparel and Footwear Association -Government Contract 

Committee (AAFA-GCC), mandatory source representatives and various industry representatives will participate in 

an advisory, non-voting capacity. This range of membership permits diversity of experience without hindering 

effective discussion or diminishing individual accountability. Selection of advisory members from industry 

and mandatory sources should be conducted by the industry groups transparently and shall be approved by the 

SCC&C. Each council member shall serve until such member's successor is appointed or delegated. The services 

branch may appoint or elect a lead service to represent their collective position at SCC&C meetings. A quorum 

will be formed on representation at a Council meeting once at least two representatives from any of the services are 

present along with DLA and one representative either from the AAF A-GCC, mandatory-source, or other industry 

representative. The Director ofC&T shall serve as the chair of Shade Council. 

IV. MEETINGS OF THE SCC&C 

The SCC&C shall meet with such frequency and at such intervals as it shall determine is necessary to 

carry out its duties and responsibilities, but not less frequently than biannually. Separate executive sessions may be 

held to discuss any matters that any of these groups or individual members believes should be discussed privately 

or in a more limited forum. These SCC&C meetings may be conducted virtually (video teleconference or 

teleconference) when travel to a single location is not practical. It is the responsibility of the SCC&C Chairperson 

to arrange for and coordinate the logistics ofSCC&C meetings, though hosting events may be delegated to other 

members of the SCC&C. In addition, the SCC&C Chairperson should strive to meet and/ or confer with SCC&C 
membership quarterly to review, provide guidance to, and approve, Council-chartered Shade IPT efforts. The 

SCC&C, in its discretion, may ask non-SCC&C entities to attend SCC&C meetings (or portions thereof) and to 

provide pertinent information as necessary. However, when necessary the Council may meet in executive session 

without such other persons present. All non-management representatives who are not steering 

committee/signatories of the charter of the SCC&C may attend meetings of the SCC&C, but may not vote. 

Industry members may not vote on SCC&C matters pertaining solely to the conduct or behavior of government 

members of the SCC&C. 

The SCC&C shall act upon the vote of a majority of its members at an aptly called meeting at which a 

quorum is present. Unless otherwise restricted by the chairperson, any action may be taken by a written instrument 

signed by all of the members of the Council; however, written guidance can be signed solely by the SCC&C 

Chairman when done on behalf of the SCC&C membership in execution of a previously agreed to ~.ction by a 

quorum of the SCC&C (for instance, a post-SCC&C meeting tasking to a Shade IPT which requires signature). 

The SCC&C shall record and maintain minutes of SCC&C meetings. SCC&C meeting minutes shall be distributed 

to SCC&C members and attendees within a timely fashion. 

The Council shall have the authority to establish other rules and procedures for notice and conduct of its 

meetings consistent with the regulations and this charter. 

V. CODES OF ETHICS 

Each person owes a duty to the Council to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other 

things, being honest, fair and candid. Deceit, dishonesty and subordination of principle are inconsistent with 

integrity. Service to the SCC&C never should be subordinated to personal gain or advantage; however, the 

SCC&C recognizes that the Council's purpose is never intended to usurp contractual or other legal obligations 

which SCC&C members must attend to. 

Each SCC&C member must: 

• Act with integrity 

• Maintain SCC&C information confidentiality 

• Observe all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations 

• Adhere to the highest standard of business ethics and not seek competitive advantage through unlawful or 

unethical practices 

• Deal fairly with the SCC&C members, customers, suppliers, competitors, and/or employees. 
• Refrain from taking advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged 

information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other unfair practice 

• Refrain from taking for themselves any opportunities discovered through the use of industry assets or 

using industry assets, information, or position for personal gain outside the scope of employment or with 

the Council. 

• Avoid conflicts of interest, wherever possible, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by the 

Council. Anything that would be a conflict for a person subject to this charter, or subsequent SCC&Crelated tasks, will also be a conflict if it is related to a member of his or her family or a close relative. 

Examples of conflict of interest situations include, but are not limited to, the following: 

• any significant ownership interest in any supplier or customer 

• any consulting or employment relationship with any customer, supplier or competitor 

• any outside business activity that detracts from an individual's ability to devote appropriate time 

and attention to his or her responsibilities with the Council 

• the receipt of any money, non-nominal gifts or excessive entertainment from any company with 

which the Council has current or prospective business dealings 

• being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay 

or benefit of any close relative 

• selling anything to the Council or buying anything from the Council, except on the same terms and 

conditions as comparable service branches and or DLA are permitted to so purchase or sell 

• any other circumstance, event, relationship or situation in which the personal interest of a person 

subject to this charter interferes- or even appears to interfere- with the interests ofthe Council as 

a whole. 

VI. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SCC&C 

A. In carrying out its duties and responsibilities, SCC&C policies and procedures should remain 

flexible, so that it may be in the best position to respond or influence changing circumstances or conditions. 

The SCC&C shall periodically review its own performance and review/reassess the adequacy of this charter. 

In conducting this review, the SCC&C shall evaluate whether this charter appropriately addresses matters that 

are or should be within its scope. 

The SCC&C shall: 

• strive to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of shade-related processes 
• strive to improve the efficiency of shade-related management processes 

• strive to substantially reduce or eliminate waiver cycle times 

• strive to establish shade standards in the correct substrate prior to commencement of all new sustainment 

contracts. In addition, strive to establish these standards in corresponding objective, spectrometer-based, 

formats. 

• strive to establish standard mathematical shade tolerances; one range for shade-critical items, one range for 

nonshade-critical items for solid color items. 

• strive to reduce shade-related costs across the C&T enterprise from dye manufacturers to warfighter 

• strive to implement commercial best practices-particularly in the realm of shade grading and tiered, 

performance base acceptance 

• avoid the sub-optimization of shade-related processes and tasks at the expense of the enterprise 

• conduct analysis of shade-related issues as appropriate 

• conduct/support shade-related value stream analyses as appropriate 

• form and assign tasks in writing to Shade IPTs when needed 

• conduct and/or communicate the results of shade-related studies 

• implement use of spectrographic measurement to the extent possible consistent with improving 

effectiveness and efficiency of shade-related issues and processes 

• seck innovative Human Resourcing strategies to bridge gaps in shade knowledge and expertise across the 

enterprise 

• encourage agreement on new procedures and policies among SCC&C members in support of shade-related 

improvement activities. The SCC&C recognizes that non-agreement by all members does not preclude 

agreement and change implementation among sub-groups of SCC&C members. 

• strive to meet at least twice per year--virtual meetings may replace face to face meetings when necessary 

• publish minutes and distribute them within a reasonable time period after an SCC&C meeting 

B. Shade Integrated Process Teams (IPT): 

The SCC&C may appoint and championed IPTs. The SCC&C will document in writing the tasks, 

deliverables, and timelines applicable to the formation of (the) IPT(s). Any standing Shade IPTs should be 

prepared to report the current status of its efforts at meetings of the SCC&C. Periodic updates to the 

membership by other means may be taken periodically as established by the SCC&C or requested by the 

SCC&C Chairman. Formation ofiPTs may require broader industry or governmental participation to 

effectively address the tasks established for it by the SCC&C. The SCC&C may appoint an SCC&C member 

to provide oversight to specific Shade IPTs. 
To ease fonnation of lPTs, industry representatives from the following areas from the following areas should 

be considered for SCC&C attendance and IPT participation: 

• Weavers 

• Woven processing (dye/print/finishing) 

• Knit processing 

• End item manufacturers 

• End item processing (permethrin. pennanent press, any finishing application or process that affects shade) 

• Mandatory sources (NISII!NIB/FPI) 

• Active industry associations
