The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles program has awarded several indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) and delivery orders to Kandor Manufacturing Inc., a small disadvantaged and HUBZone business located in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. These contracts, with a total ceiling value exceeding $200 million, are for the production and delivery of military uniform components such as men's and women's shirts, undershirts, trousers, coats, blouses, and maternity wear.
The awards leverage Kandor's manufacturing capabilities to efficiently supply the U.S. armed forces with essential uniform items. Many of these IDCs are set-aside for small businesses, allowing DLA to leverage Kandor's status as a HUBZone firm to support economic development in underutilized areas. In addition to federal contracts, Kandor has also received grant sub-awards from the Puerto Rico Department of Economic Development and Commerce as part of the U.S. Department of Labor's Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to enhance local employment and training opportunities.
