The U.S. Department of Defense awarded a $19.2K firm fixed-price purchase order to Conrad Embroidery Company, LLC (CEC), a small business manufacturer of embroidered military insignia based in Weaverville, North Carolina, for enlisted grade insignia. The award, designated as a total small business set-aside, was issued on October 30, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 25, 2026. CEC, operating as a division of Conrad Industries, Inc., specializes in producing military-specification embroidered uniform components essential for identifying military personnel ranks and organizational units.

CEC maintains multiple single-award IDC vehicles valued at $250K each with periods of performance extending through 2027, all designated as total small business set-asides. These contracts cover various embroidered products including shoulder sleeve insignia, enlisted grade insignia, beret insignia, and service stripes identified by specific National Stock Numbers. The current award exemplifies CEC's established role as a reliable supplier within the military supply chain, ensuring consistent availability of specialized embroidered products critical to outfitting U.S. military personnel across the armed services.
