Aurora Industries LLC

Aurora Industries LLC, a minority-owned and Alaska Native corporation-owned small business based in Orocovis, Puerto Rico, manufactures military apparel for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, holding a $146.1 million total small business set-aside IDIQ vehicle awarded September 9, 2025, and a $18.6 million full-and-open IDIQ awarded January 13, 2025, with all work performed in-house at its Puerto Rico facility without major subcontractors. The company is registered as self-certified small disadvantaged business and competes across both total small business set-aside and full-and-open procurement vehicles with the DLA.

Aurora's entire federal footprint is concentrated with a single customer: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles program accounts for all 89 recent awards and the full $347.9 million in combined potential value. Work centers on manufacturing Army Combat Uniform (ACU) and Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniform (IHWCU) components in Operational Camouflage Pattern, including coats, trousers, and shirts in both male and female variants. Representative delivery orders include a $6.9 million order for IHWCU and ACU trousers (March 24, 2026), a $3.6 million order for IHWCU and ACU coats (March 24, 2026), a $4.1 million order for IHWCU and ACU coats (May 14, 2025), and a $2.3 million order for ACU Type III Class II coats (June 16, 2023). All work is subject to Berry Amendment domestic sourcing compliance and is priced on firm fixed-price terms.

Aurora sits on three primary IDIQ vehicles: the $146.1 million total small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded September 9, 2025, which has generated 14 delivery orders totaling approximately $16.7 million to date; an earlier $93.9 million single-award IDIQ (awarded August 2020, extended through September 2025) that carried 57 task orders worth $50.9 million; and the $18.6 million full-and-open IDIQ awarded January 13, 2025, with 8 delivery orders totaling approximately $13.3 million. The company's activity has grown from 9 awards in 2022 to 21 awards in 2025, demonstrating sustained DLA engagement. Five awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $16.4 million, representing near-term recompete exposure for both Aurora and competitive opportunity for incumbents.

All recent work is cataloged under NAICS 325920 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors) and PSC code 8405 (Clothing, Special Purpose), reflecting Aurora's vertical integration as a dedicated military apparel manufacturer. The company's operations footprint is geographically constrained to Orocovis, Puerto Rico, with delivery destinations specified as Pendergrass, Georgia and Austin, Texas on FOB Destination terms. Aurora operates without subcontractor dependencies, maintaining complete control of design, manufacturing, and quality across its military uniform product line.
