Bull Run Boots, LIMITED

Bull Run Boots, LIMITED, a self-certified small disadvantaged business manufacturer, supplies standardized correctional-facility footwear to the federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor on indefinite-delivery contracts, with 100% of its recent federal award footprint concentrated in this single customer and product category.

Bull Run Boots is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, with a secondary operational site in New Hyde Park, New York. The company manufactures footwear exclusively — 86 of 87 recent awards are classified under PSC Footwear, Men's, with one clothing award. Primary NAICS is Footwear Manufacturing. The vendor does not compete under formal SBA set-asides (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) in its recent footprint; instead, it holds seats on two Bureau of Prisons indefinite-delivery contracts awarded without set-aside designation, and it places delivery orders and purchase orders against those vehicles on a full-and-open basis.

Bull Run Boots' customer concentration is extreme and unambiguous. All 87 awards in the source data are issued by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. Three Bureau components account for 100% of recent awards: Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg (72 awards, $6.2 million combined potential value, 61% of dollars), Federal Correctional Institution Beckley (9 awards, $3.7 million, 36% of dollars), and the Bureau's Central Office (6 awards, $259 thousand, 3% of dollars). The vendor has no active relationships with any other federal agency.

Bull Run Boots holds two parent indefinite-delivery contracts with the Bureau of Prisons. A single-award ID/IQ contract awarded November 3, 2021, with a $4.158 million ceiling runs through January 31, 2025 (approaching recompete). A multiple-award ID/IQ contract awarded April 28, 2025, with a $3.519 million ceiling runs through April 8, 2028 and carries a small-business set-aside designation in the underlying solicitation, though individual delivery orders are not set-aside. The vendor places task orders under these vehicles at the Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg (68 task orders, $2.1 million potential value) and Federal Correctional Institution Beckley (14 task orders, $393 thousand potential value). Individual delivery orders range from $6,578 to $131,393, with the majority in the $14,000–$50,000 range, issued firm fixed price.

The vendor's product line across all awards is standardized: 4-inch oxford boots, 6-inch composite toe work boots, canvas upper slip-on shoes, and clear sole hook-and-loop tennis shoes, available in medium-wide (E) and wide (EEE) sizes for men and women. Representative orders include a $75,384 delivery order from Federal Correctional Institution Beckley (May 18, 2026), a $131,393 delivery order from the Bureau's Central Office (June 13, 2024), and a $88,353 delivery order from Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg (August 22, 2022).

Activity has been stable and high-volume — 22–23 awards per year from 2022 through 2024, declining to 10 in 2025 and 8 in 2026 (through mid-June). The 2025–2026 decline aligns with award timing under the newer multiple-award contract and the approach of the older single-award contract's January 31, 2025 expiration. Only one award (combined potential value $16 thousand) completes within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure; the bulk of the vendor's ceiling runs through April 2028. Bull Run Boots is a sole or primary supplier on both parent vehicles, with no indicated subcontractor footprint. The vendor maintains a fully captive customer relationship within a single federal sub-agency and does not pursue work outside federal corrections.
