Fabric Coating Mills

The NAICS 313320 (Fabric Coating Mills) category encompasses manufacturers specializing in applying protective, decorative, or functional coatings to various textile fabrics and materials. These coatings can enhance fabric properties such as fire resistance, water repellency, abrasion resistance, and mildew protection. Products include specialized cloth materials used in military, maritime, and industrial applications, ranging from protective ensembles and technical textiles to specialized fabric components for diverse operational requirements.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a consistent pattern of procurement by defense agencies, particularly the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime and DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles. Awards typically range from $1,000 to $300,000, with contract durations spanning several months to a year. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses such as Snyder Manufacturing Inc., STS Distribution Solutions, and Dreamfind, Inc. Most awards are unrestricted, though some utilize total small business set-asides. Common funding agencies include the Department of Defense, with primary performance locations spanning military depots, naval shipyards, and distribution centers across the United States.

Recent federal contract opportunities focus on procuring specialized textile materials with precise technical specifications. Solicitations predominantly target military and maritime applications, requesting items like silica cloth, coated fabrics, and nonmetallic hose assemblies. Most opportunities are issued by the Defense Logistics Agency, with delivery locations including naval vessels, shipyards, and distribution centers. The opportunities consistently emphasize small business participation, with many set aside exclusively for small business contractors. Requested quantities typically range from 1 to 1,500 units, with delivery timelines varying between 5 and 258 days after order placement.
