This contract is for as-needed apparel purchases, such as t-shirts, polos, woven shirts, jackets, and other miscellaneous garments, primarily used by the Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine for articles purchased for both participants of revenue-generating programs, such as day camps, adult and youth sports, and for City of Long Beach (City) staff.
