About the company
Showa Best Glove, Inc. is a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of goods headquartered in Menlo, Georgia that specializes in the production of protective gloves and related textile-based personal protective equipment. The company has established itself as a significant supplier to the federal government, leveraging its manufacturing capabilities to support critical defense and public health initiatives. Since registering with SAM.gov in November 2007, Showa Best Glove has built a substantial federal contracting presence focused on domestic production capacity expansion and supply chain resilience for essential protective equipment.
Showa Best Glove's federal contract portfolio reflects substantial engagement with government agencies during the COVID-19 pandemic response. The company received two major definitive contracts totaling approximately $131.9 million from federal agencies for the manufacture and delivery of disposable nitrile gloves. The first contract, valued at $81.3 million, was awarded by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center on June 17, 2021, and ran through September 2024 as a firm fixed price contract supporting industrial base expansion for nitrile glove production at the Menlo, Georgia facility. The second contract, valued at $50.6 million, was originally awarded by the Department of Defense and U.S. Air Force on June 17, 2021 under contract number FA8534-21-C-0002 but was subsequently transitioned to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. This contract called for the domestic manufacture and delivery of disposable nitrile, non-sterile, powder-free patient examination gloves and extended through November 2, 2024. Both contracts operated under firm fixed price structures with no subcontractors or set-aside designations, emphasizing the government's confidence in Showa Best Glove as a sole prime contractor for these critical COVID-19 capacity expansion initiatives.
Showa Best Glove currently holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded on August 19, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2027, and a contract ceiling of $250,000. This single-award indefinite delivery vehicle was designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns and indicating the company's small business status for federal contracting purposes. The contract focuses on the procurement of clothing and textiles products to support defense-related operations, with funding provided by a Defense agency. The indefinite delivery structure allows the government to issue task orders or delivery orders throughout the two-year performance period based on operational requirements, without committing to a predetermined order volume at contract award. Given Showa Best Glove's core business focus on protective gloves and textile-based equipment, this contract likely supports defense personnel requirements for hand protection and related apparel items, with specific product specifications and delivery schedules to be documented in individual task orders as they are issued.
