Purchase Order SPE1C126P0026

Conrad Embroidery Company, LLC, a small business manufacturer of military insignia and embroidered uniform components located in Weaverville, North Carolina, was awarded a $177,000 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division on October 1, 2025. The contract, set aside for total small business participation, calls for the production and delivery of 20,000 units of overseas service bars (NSN 8455016916475) with completion required by February 4, 2026. This award represents a task order under CEC's existing Indefinite Delivery Contract vehicle with DLA Troop Support, which streamlines the procurement of military-specification embroidered items and apparel accessories that meet strict Department of Defense standards.

The overseas service bars are to be delivered to Arizona Industries for the Blind, consistent with CEC's established role as a specialized supplier of military uniform insignia and accessories to the Department of Defense. The company's expertise in producing precision-crafted embroidered components such as shoulder sleeve insignia, grade insignia, and service stripes, combined with its track record on multiple small business set-aside contracts with DLA Troop Support, positions it as a reliable vendor for this procurement. The seven-day solicitation window and electronic submission requirement reflect standard federal acquisition practices for routine supply orders under existing contract vehicles.
