Auro Enterprises

Auro Enterprises, operating under the trade name G I Jewelry, is a for-profit manufacturer of religious-themed jewelry located in Pegram, Tennessee. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since July 2004, the company specializes in producing pendant jewelry items with various religious and cultural symbolism. The business is structured as a partnership or limited liability partnership and has established itself as a key supplier of religious pendant items to the U.S. military through federal contract awards, primarily with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division.

Through its federal contract awards, Auro Enterprises has consistently provided a diverse range of religious pendant jewelry to the Defense Logistics Agency. The company's contract awards encompass pendants representing multiple faith traditions, including long crosses, Celtic crosses, orthodox crosses, Stars of David, Wheel of Life symbols, and Crescent and Star designs. These pendant items are typically procured through firm fixed-price delivery orders, with contract values ranging from as low as $3 to over $50,000. No set-aside designations have been applied to these awards, indicating the company competes in an open marketplace. The pendants are intended to support religious accommodation needs for military personnel, serving as important personal items for service members across different branches of the U.S. armed forces.

The IDC utilizes firm fixed-price delivery orders to procure pendant items manufactured at the company's Pegram, Tennessee facility. Recent delivery orders under this contract have demonstrated the company's ability to provide a wide range of religious jewelry items, supporting the DLA Troop Support's mission of accommodating the diverse religious needs of military personnel through carefully selected and manufactured pendant accessories.
