Bernard Cap, LLC

Bernard Cap, LLC, a Hialeah, Florida-based small business manufacturer of military uniforms and apparel components, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering firm fixed-price military clothing and textile products to federal agencies. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business Set-Aside designations, which characterize the majority of its prime footprint, though it also wins unrestricted delivery orders and IDCs when not set-aside designated.

The company manufactures cut-and-sew military apparel and headwear—garrison caps, service caps, dress caps, jumpers, trousers, shirts, jackets, blouses, and slacks for men and women—all compliant with stringent military specifications and the Berry Amendment requirement for 100 percent domestic textile sourcing. Recent representative work includes a $1.97 million delivery order for men's jackets under Total Small Business set-aside from the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division (December 2025), a $1.77 million delivery order for men's trousers in firm fixed-price structure without set-aside from DLA (January 2026), a $542 thousand delivery order for women's blouses under Total Small Business set-aside (March 2026), and a $156.7 thousand delivery order from the Air Force Academy for parade, service, flight cadet, and flight officer caps in firm fixed-price structure (January 2026). The company also received an $18.86 million single-award Total Small Business Indefinite Delivery contract from DLA Troop Support for Army Green Service Uniform garrison caps extending through December 2030, with guaranteed minimum quantities of 63,840 units and annual estimated quantities of 158,400 units.

Customer concentration is extreme and intentional. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division accounts for 2,452 awards (79% of the 3,115 total) and $763.3 million in combined potential value (95% of the $801.9 million portfolio). The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard places 156 awards worth $6.2 million, and the Department of the Air Force Headquarters Air Force Academy places 39 awards worth $3.2 million. The remaining 15 customer agencies collectively account for fewer than 200 awards and under $30 million in value. Bernard Cap's dollar volume is correspondingly concentrated: the top customer's share ($763.3 million) dwarfs all others combined.

Bernard Cap holds five active parent indefinite delivery vehicles through DLA Troop Support. The largest by task-order count is Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C117D1025 (252 task orders, $25.6 million combined potential value), followed by SPE1C115D1068 (243 task orders, $1.9 million), SPE1C120D1223 (181 task orders, $2 million), SPE1C124D0035 (153 task orders, $10 million), and SPE1C117D1021 (141 task orders, $5.7 million). These vehicles support the delivery of routine military apparel across multiple categories and military service branches. Bernard Cap also holds a single-award Air Force Academy Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $1.505 million (through August 2030) for military caps in parade, service, flight cadet, and flight officer configurations, awarded January 5, 2026, without set-aside designation. Four additional single-award DLA Troop Support Indefinite Delivery contracts—for Army Green garrison caps ($18.86 million, Total Small Business, through December 2030), Navy white women's slacks ($4.62 million, Total Small Business, through September 2030), women's military jumpers ($8.81 million, Total Small Business, through February 2030), and general military apparel and accessories ($8.81 million, Total Small Business, through September 2031)—anchor the prime footprint and collectively represent approximately $40.7 million in authorized ceiling value.

Activity grew from 202 awards in 2022 to a peak of 275 awards in 2025, with 92 awards recorded in 2026 to date (through mid-April). The recompete cliff shows 29 awards (combined potential value $12.9 million) with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, exposing Bernard Cap to routine rebid cycles for delivery orders and IDCs that run through late 2026 and into 2027. The company operates exclusively in cut-and-sew apparel manufacturing (NAICS codes include 316110, 315221, 315291, 315223, 315228) and military outerwear supply (PSC codes 4010 for men's outerwear and 4020 for women's outerwear dominate the portfolio).

Bernard Cap does not engage in subcontracting; all 3,115 awards are prime contracts and indefinite delivery contracts issued directly to the company. The firm has been registered in SAM.gov since May 2001 and holds no federal IDIQs, GWACs, or GSA schedules outside of its DLA Troop Support single-award vehicles. Combined dollars obligated to date total $305 million (38% of the $801.9 million potential-value portfolio), indicating substantial execution velocity and bill-out through 2025 and into 2026.
