NAICS 3152 (Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing) encompasses the production of clothing and apparel through cutting and sewing processes. This category includes manufacturers that transform textile materials into finished garments such as military uniforms, specialized protective clothing, athletic wear, and various types of uniforms for government and commercial entities. The industry focuses on creating custom-tailored apparel that meets specific technical specifications and performance requirements.

Federal Contract Awards under this NAICS code are predominantly made by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Department of Defense (DoD) entities. Typical contract values range from $50,000 to $500,000, with contract durations spanning one to five years. Most awards are set aside for small businesses, particularly total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) categories. Common places of performance include military logistics centers such as TACOM ILSC-NATICK and Travis Association for the Blind, with delivery destinations spanning military bases and procurement centers across the United States. Frequent award recipients appear to be small apparel manufacturers capable of meeting strict military specification requirements.

Recent federal contract opportunities in this NAICS category include multiple solicitations for specialized military clothing items such as extreme cold weather mittens, cold weather gloves, tactical uniforms, and protective gear. The U.S. Army, Air Force Academy, and Defense Logistics Agency have posted opportunities for items ranging from cadet athletic wear to military dress uniforms and survival gear. Most opportunities require Berry Amendment compliance, meaning all materials and manufacturing must occur within the United States. Typical performance locations include military installations in Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and other states, with delivery timelines generally ranging from 20 to 120 days after order placement.
