About American & Efird LLC
American & Efird LLC, a Mount Holly, North Carolina-based manufacturer of sewing threads and industrial yarns, supplies Berry Amendment-compliant thread to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor under a single-award indefinite delivery contract with a ceiling of $9.767 million. The company competes full-and-open without set-aside designations and self-performs all work using in-house manufacturing capabilities.
American & Efird's federal footprint is highly concentrated: the Bureau of Prisons accounts for the vast majority of its recent award activity across 32 named customer agencies. The top five funding entities—Bureau of Prisons Central Office (236 awards, $20 million combined potential value), United States Penitentiary Atlanta (46 awards, $3.6 million), Federal Correctional Institution Greenville (132 awards, $3 million), Federal Correctional Institution Jesup (127 awards, $1.4 million), and Federal Correctional Complex Pollock (67 awards, $714 thousand)—account for 76% of combined potential value across the footprint. Recent representative work includes a May 11, 2026 delivery order from Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix for $18,000 to supply thread supporting UNICOR textile manufacturing, an April 21, 2026 order from the Bureau of Prisons Central Office for $23,160 in Berry Amendment-compliant thread, and an April 15, 2026 delivery order from Federal Correctional Institution Oakdale for $23,200.
The company's revenue concentration is driven by its seat on five major IDIQs held with the Bureau of Prisons. The primary vehicle—Indefinite Delivery Contract 15UC0C18D00001396—carries 267 task orders valued at $4.9 million combined. Four additional Bureau of Prisons IDCs (DJU4600004023, DJU4600004610, DJU4600004029, DJU4600003512) together account for 1,005 task orders and $5.9 million in combined potential value. These vehicles consolidate American & Efird's role as the sole supplier of specialized thread products for approximately 90 production lines across federal correctional facilities nationwide, supporting inmate uniform production, military apparel manufacturing, and other government textile products.
Activity has remained relatively stable year over year (56 awards in 2022 to 53 in 2024), though 2025 and 2026 year-to-date figures show a decline to 28 and 8 awards respectively, reflecting a natural slowdown as the primary IDV nears its December 5, 2026 completion date. Only 2 awards are slated to complete within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $34 thousand), meaning American & Efird faces minimal near-term recompete exposure but will need to compete for a successor vehicle to maintain its Bureau of Prisons footprint. The company holds no subcontractor relationships; all 2,390 awards in the source are prime contracts. American & Efird's capability portfolio is entirely specialized: Berry Amendment-compliant sewing thread and industrial yarns manufactured to federal domestic-sourcing standards for federal textile applications, with no diversification into other product categories or customer agencies beyond the Bureau of Prisons ecosystem.
