Belleville Shoe Manufacturing Company

Belleville Shoe Manufacturing Company, doing business as Belleville Boot Co., manufactures combat, hot weather, cold weather, safety, and specialized tactical boots for the U.S. armed forces as a prime contractor, operating across 4,773 prime awards and competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open procurement.

Belleville is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Swansea, Illinois. The vendor holds Total Small Business set-aside designations on multiple active indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division. Recent representative work includes a $24.6 million single-award IDC for military footwear across multiple categories (awarded August 2026, running through February 2029) under Total Small Business set-aside; a $16.9 million single-award IDC for men's and women's shoes (awarded April 2024, running through April 2027) also under Total Small Business set-aside; a $7.8 million single-award IDC for combat boots (awarded September 2023, running through September 2025) without set-aside; and individual delivery orders including a $4.65 million hot weather boots order from DLA Troop Support (awarded April 2026) under Total Small Business set-aside and a $3.76 million men's safety boots definitive contract (awarded March 2026) without set-aside.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrowly focused. The top five customer agencies account for 74% of awards by count, and 91% of combined potential value is concentrated in two agencies. DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles dominates the footprint with 2,570 awards valued at $903.8 million in combined potential value, followed distantly by GSA Federal Acquisition Service (27 awards, $833.4 million combined potential value). The DLA proper (separate from Troop Support) places 699 awards valued at $164.9 million. The Department of the Army PEO Soldier anchors an additional $135.3 million across 47 awards. Beyond these four entities, customer dollars drop sharply.

Belleville places work under several indefinite delivery vehicles. The Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9990H carries 1,273 task orders with $34.4 million combined potential value. Three single-award IDCs with the DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division (SPE1C114D5024, SPE1C121D1485, and SPE1C114D5025) collectively represent 1,537 task orders, though stated dollar values on two of these vehicles are sub-million. A fourth IDC (SP010097D0325) has generated 439 task orders with no stated ceiling in the source. These vehicles anchor the vendor's prime contracting posture.

Activity has declined from historical levels. Award volume dropped from 290 awards in 2022 to 131 in 2023, then to 61 in 2024, with a partial recovery to 77 in 2025 and only 10 awards visible in 2026 (through early April). Combined potential value across all 4,781 awards reaches $2.26 billion, with $1.36 billion obligated to date. Fourteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $25.1 million, representing near-term recompete exposure.

Belleville's subcontractor footprint is minimal. Two sub-award records show the vendor delivering military and tactical footwear to Booz Allen Hamilton under the EDITS (Engineering Development Integration and Technology-Based Solutions) vehicle in early 2026. This represents a secondary revenue stream but does not characterize the vendor's primary operating posture.

The vendor's category concentration reflects pure-play footwear manufacturing. Primary NAICS codes are Footwear Manufacturing (2,290 awards) and Men's Footwear except Athletic Manufacturing (1,618 awards). PSC codes align: Footwear, Men's (3,500 awards) dominates, with Outerwear, Men's (972 awards) and Footwear, Women's (215 awards) as secondary lines. Across both award-count and dollar-value rankings, Belleville's federal portfolio is functionally monolithic — a specialized military boot supplier to a single customer agency operating multiple IDCs and issuing frequent small-to-mid-sized delivery orders.
