About the company
5.11, Inc., doing business as 5.11 Tactical, manufactures and sells tactical apparel, footwear, and equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, with 99% of its federal awards held as prime contracts. The company, headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, is a for-profit manufacturer competing across 73 customer agencies without SBA set-aside designations; all recent prime awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or blanket purchase agreements issued without set-asides.
5.11's federal footprint concentrates in two distinct customer pools. The Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration dominates both award count and dollar value, accounting for 136 awards worth $6.2 million combined potential value across a $2 million IDC vehicle (HSCEAM06D0163, 77 task orders). The Federal Emergency Management Agency Incident Support Section ranks second by potential value at $2.6 million across 15 awards. The Department of Justice ecosystem—Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institutions (Jesup, Bennettsville, Herlong, Manchester, Greenville, El Reno, Florence, and Atlanta) plus FBI Headquarters Division—represents a secondary cluster of 43 awards worth $824 thousand combined potential value. The Department of State, primarily through the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and regional geographic bureaus (South and Central Asian Affairs, Near Eastern Affairs, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs), accounts for approximately 60 awards. These top five customer entities account for 52% of combined potential value across all recent awards.
Capability work anchors on law-enforcement and correctional personnel outfitting. Recent representative awards include a $68,390 firm fixed-price purchase order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations Law Enforcement Training Center for cadre shirts (August 2025), a $67,935 BPA call from United States Penitentiary Atlanta for ASTM composite-toe and slip-resistance safety footwear meeting F2413-18 and F2414-05 standards (September 2026), $59,140 from Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute for staff outer vest covers (September 2026), $40,456 from the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security for jackets for Regional Security Officer Local Guard Force personnel (September 2023), and recurring uniform and protective apparel orders across Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities ranging from $1,500 to $28,310. Product categories span clothing accessories, men's apparel manufacturing, footwear, and leather goods under primary PSC codes 5430 (Clothing, Special Purpose), 5410 (Outerwear, Men's), and 5220 (Footwear, Men's). A secondary outlier contract for AutoCAD 2024 licenses ($10,128.70 to the Department of State Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, October 2024) appears anomalous to the core portfolio.
5.11 holds positions on two multi-agency IDC vehicles. The HSCEAM06D0163 indefinite delivery contract (Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration) carries 77 task orders worth $2 million combined potential value and represents the single largest vehicle engagement. The HSFEHQ10D0156 IDC (Federal Emergency Management Agency) carries 14 task orders worth $2.5 million. A blanket purchase agreement with United States Penitentiary Atlanta for professional safety-duty footwear (FY25, multiple award, ceiling $21,600, awarded April 2025) represents a recurring sourcing mechanism for correctional facilities. 5.11 also maintains a position on the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F024AA (20 task orders, $373 thousand combined potential value).
Award activity has contracted modestly from prior years—13 awards in 2022 declining to 8 in 2025 and 9 in 2026—though the source reflects recent high-velocity procurement from Bureau of Prisons facilities between August 2026 and October 2026. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal, with only 2 awards (combined potential value $19 thousand) facing ultimate completion dates within that window. Combined potential value across all 380 federal awards (prime and sub) totals $19.7 million, with $6.9 million (35%) obligated to date. 5.11 subcontracts minimally—only 3 sub-awards in the source, all to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., for name-tape and equipment modifications under a broader defense prime contract relationship.
5.11 holds a named subsidiary, Beyond Clothing, LLC, structured as a for-profit limited liability company; the source does not characterize Beyond Clothing's federal activity separately or detail its operational role within the parent structure.
