The NAICS Category 315210 - Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors encompasses manufacturing establishments engaged in cutting and sewing apparel from purchased textile materials. This category includes manufacturers of military uniforms, specialized protective clothing, tactical gear, and other custom-fabricated clothing items. These contractors produce a wide range of garments including combat uniforms, cold weather gear, survival vests, fire-resistant clothing, and specialized equipment for military and federal agencies. The federal contract awards in this category demonstrate significant activity across military and federal agency procurement. Awards typically range from $4,000 to over $2 million, with contract durations spanning several months to multiple years. Frequently awarded entities include nonprofit organizations like Blind Industries and Services of Maryland (BISM), National Industries for the Blind (NIB), and various small businesses such as Workwear Outfitters, LLC and Firstspear, LLC. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles is the most prominent contracting agency, with contracts often set aside for small businesses or specific socioeconomic categories. Common performance locations include military bases, logistics centers, and manufacturing facilities across the United States. Recent federal contract opportunities focus on procuring specialized military and federal agency clothing and equipment. Solicitations include requests for cold weather gear (mittens, gloves, jackets), survival vests, flame-resistant pants, and various uniform components. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses and target specific military branches such as the Army, Air Force, and Navy. Agencies like the Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are actively seeking apparel contractors. Delivery locations typically include military logistics centers in locations such as Natick, Massachusetts, Grapevine, Texas, and Anniston, Alabama, with most opportunities requiring relatively short delivery timelines of 20-135 days.
