Clothing and Clothing Accessories Retailers

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 45811 encompasses Clothing and Clothing Accessories Retailers, focused on procurement and distribution of specialized uniforms, personal protective equipment (PPE), and tactical apparel for federal government agencies. These procurements typically involve military, law enforcement, and security sector uniform requirements, spanning diverse environmental conditions from arctic extreme cold weather gear to standard operational combat uniforms. The category covers comprehensive equipment procurement including clothing items, footwear, technical wear, and associated accessories meeting specific government and military specification standards.

Recent federal contract opportunities within this NAICS code demonstrate a pattern of small business set-aside contracts with values ranging from approximately $50,000 to $150,000. The primary funding agencies include the Department of Defense (specifically Air Force Special Operations Command), Department of State, U.S. Coast Guard, and Mission and Installation Contracting Commands. Typical contract durations appear to be between 6-12 months, with performance locations spread across domestic military installations and international diplomatic missions such as Fort Moore (Georgia), Hurlburt Field (Florida), Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (Alaska), and U.S. Embassy Beirut (Lebanon). Contractors are consistently required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and demonstrate technical capability to provide precisely specified uniform and equipment requirements.
