Consolidated Sewing Machine Corp

Consolidated Sewing Machine Corp, a minority-owned, for-profit manufacturer based in Carlstadt, New Jersey, supplies industrial sewing machines and components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor exclusively (100% of recent awards) under purchase orders and a single-award indefinite delivery contract, competing in both set-aside and full-and-open procurements.

The vendor's footprint is heavily concentrated in Defense Logistics Agency procurement. The top five customer entities by award count account for 82% of recent awards, led overwhelmingly by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (295 awards, $2.8 million combined potential value), followed by DLA as a general entity (65 awards, $11 thousand), DLA Land and Maritime (21 awards, $284 thousand), the Department of the Army (16 awards, $39 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (11 awards, $47 thousand). The potential-value ranking shifts modestly — DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment still dominates at $2.8 million, but DLA Land and Maritime's $284 thousand in potential value ranks second, driven by a $250,000 single-award IDC that serves as an anchor vehicle. Consolidated Sewing Machine Corp competes across 42 distinct customer agencies, but DLA accounts for the vast majority of the portfolio.

The vendor's primary capability is manufacture and delivery of industrial sewing machines and specialized sewing-equipment components to support military textile production and equipment maintenance. Representative work includes a Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for 115 industrial sewing machines valued at $108,560 (awarded February 6, 2026, with 123-day delivery to DLA Distribution San Joaquin), a $34,055 Total Small Business order for 35 industrial sewing machines (NSN 3530015074081) from the same customer (awarded March 13, 2026), a $76,846 Total Small Business purchase order for 14 industrial sewing machines (NSN 3530011778588) to support military equipment maintenance and uniform production (awarded November 17, 2025), and a $31,500 Total Small Business award from the Air Force Education and Training Command for 361 TRS 206RB-5 medium-weight sewing machines (awarded September 9, 2024). Beyond complete machines, the vendor supplies sewing-equipment components: a $250,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (August 8, 2023–August 7, 2024) covers a specialized spring component (NSN 5360015640238), and multiple purchase orders supply bobbins, needles, springs, bushings, brackets, covers, and other sewing-machine parts and hardware.

Activity has grown modestly but unevenly — 20 awards in 2022 grew to 34 in 2024, but dropped to 23 in 2025 and 6 in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting the episodic nature of purchase-order awards rather than a consistent trend. The combined potential value across all 498 prime awards is $3.9 million, though combined obligations reached $7.7 million, indicating that many awards have been exercised at values exceeding their initial ceilings or that the portfolio includes historical fully-invoiced work. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal — only two awards (combined potential value $143 thousand) reach ultimate completion in that window.

The vendor's work is categorized primarily under industrial sewing-machinery and components PSCs: 428 of the 498 awards fall under Industrial Sewing Machines And Mobile Textile Repair Shops, 19 are Coil, Flat, Leaf, And Wire Springs, and the remainder span textile-industry machinery, shoe-repair equipment, and fasteners. Set-aside posture varies across the portfolio. A significant share of awards (including the largest dollar values) are designated Total Small Business set-asides, but roughly half carry no set-aside designation, indicating the vendor competes in both reserved and full-and-open DLA solicitations.

The vendor holds no visible seats on government-wide acquisition contracts, BPAs, or schedule vehicles in the source. Top parent vehicles are a small number of DLA-specific IDCs: four task orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract DLA40087C5272, three under DLA40083C0841, and two or fewer under DLA40085C0880, DLA40084C2235, and DLA40082C5631. These are narrow-focus IDCs tied to specific NSN line items, not broad-based multiple-award vehicles, reflecting the vendor's role as a specialized supplier locked into DLA's component procurement workflows. The vendor manufactures at its Carlstadt facility and performs all work in-house; no subcontract footprint is evident in the source.
