This category encompasses the wholesale of safety shoes, work boots, tactical boots, guard shoes, athletic shoes, and uniform footwear for multiple federal agencies.

Frequently awarded entities include Lehigh Outfitters LLC, AD Meyers Uniforms LLC, Western Kentucky Shoes Inc., and Chuck's Acquisition Co., LLC. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders without specific set-aside designations, though a few contracts were designated as Total Small Business set-asides. Performance locations are predominantly within the United States, with some international delivery points like South Korea.
