Men's Footwear (except Athletic) Manufacturing

The NAICS code 316213 covers Men's Footwear (except Athletic) Manufacturing, focusing on the production of non-athletic footwear for male consumers. This category encompasses the design, fabrication, and distribution of men's shoes and boots that are not specifically intended for sports or athletic activities. The manufacturing process involves creating various styles of footwear, including work boots, dress shoes, casual shoes, and specialized footwear for specific professional or environmental contexts.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a strong emphasis on tactical, cold weather, and specialized footwear for government agencies. Key awards have been predominantly made to US Elite LLC, a veteran-owned small business, with contract values ranging from $2,136 to $82,352.50. Funding agencies include the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and General Services Administration. Most contracts are structured as delivery orders under the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) with firm fixed-price arrangements. Set-aside designations vary, with some contracts specifically targeting veteran-owned or small businesses, while others have no specific set-aside.

The contract awards primarily focus on procuring specialized footwear and related gear, including combat winter boots, custody boots, safety shoes, and cold weather equipment. Typical contract descriptions include items like "summer boots for SERE training program," "correctional services boots," and "Red Wing safety shoes." Performance locations span various U.S. military bases and federal facilities, with some international locations like Great Britain. The contracts consistently utilize the GSA Multiple Award Schedule as the primary procurement vehicle, enabling efficient acquisition of tactical and professional footwear for government agencies.
