To end up in a surplus store, the BDU either disappeared from the wearhouse, A soldier sold his kit to the surplus and then filed a lost report to get one back or it could be an imitation that is made from material that did not meet specs. Heck, how do you think a pair of CADPAT boots ended up for sale on ASC where there still on trial.

As one of the other members said, a bunch of CADPAT BDU's was accidentally released as surplus. DND knew they made a mistake and technically even though they were released as surplus, they technically still aren't.
That's like going to a pawn shop and buying a stereo that you think is fine but find out later it's stolen. Even though you bought it from the pawn shop not knowing it was stolen, the police can still confiscate as stolen material.
