Other Textile Product Mills

NAICS Category 3149 (Other Textile Product Mills) encompasses a diverse range of textile manufacturing activities beyond traditional clothing and fabric production. This category includes specialized textile product manufacturers that produce unique and technical textile-based items for various industrial, military, and commercial applications. Products within this category often involve complex manufacturing processes and serve specific functional requirements across multiple sectors, including defense, aerospace, and equipment support systems.

The federal contract awards under this NAICS category demonstrate a strong focus on specialized textile components for military and defense logistics. Typical contract values range from small procurements of less than $250,000 to potentially larger indefinite delivery contracts. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) emerges as the primary contracting agency, consistently soliciting small business contractors to provide items such as cargo nets, protective covers, rope assemblies, and technical textile components. Most contracts are set aside for small businesses, with specific allocations for categories like women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and general small business concerns. Performance locations predominantly include various DLA distribution centers across the continental United States.

Recent federal contract opportunities under this NAICS category reveal a consistent demand for highly specialized textile products with precise technical specifications. Solicitations include requests for items such as tactical vests, fire extinguisher training equipment, tent doors, oxygen masks, wire rope assemblies, and elasticized cord assemblies. The U.S. Department of Defense, particularly the Army, Navy, and Defense Logistics Agency, are the primary agencies requesting these products. Most opportunities require electronic quote submissions, have specific delivery timelines ranging from 20 to 545 days, and emphasize strict compliance with military specifications and standards. The opportunities demonstrate a preference for small business participation and require vendors to have sophisticated manufacturing capabilities in textile product engineering.
