GIL Sewing Corp

GIL Sewing Corp, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business (WOSB) and self-certified small disadvantaged business (SDB) based in Morton Grove, Illinois, manufactures military uniforms and apparel components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides on its four core indefinite delivery contracts and in full-and-open competition on derivative delivery orders. The for-profit Subchapter S corporation operates as a specialized apparel manufacturer focused on Berry Amendment-compliant domestic production of coats, trousers, jumpers, jackets, and service caps for men and women, with primary NAICS codes in cut-and-sew apparel manufacturing.

GIL Sewing's federal footprint is nearly monolithic: 134 of 139 awards (96% by count and 99.9% by dollar value) flow from the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles program, with negligible secondary work from the Naval Supply Systems Command ($54 thousand across two awards) and the Coast Guard ($7 thousand across three awards). The concentrated customer base reflects GIL Sewing's long-standing status as a key supplier to DLA Troop Support, with SAM.gov registration since 2009 and continuous delivery-order activity across the past five years. Two recent awards—a $47,076.12 Naval Supply Systems Command purchase order for women's wool serge slacks (April 2025) and a $89,400.84 DLA purchase order for Army female drill service hats (July 2025)—represent modest diversification beyond the core coat-and-trouser portfolio.

GIL Sewing holds four active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Troop Support, all structured as single-award, total small business set-asides with firm fixed-price delivery-order streams. The largest is an indefinite delivery contract for men's coats (SPE1C121D1467, $77.3 million ceiling through May 2026, 37 task orders totaling $50.5 million) and a women's coats IDC (SPE1C111D1525, $17.6 million ceiling through May 2033, 25+ documented task orders). Recent awards to GIL Sewing include a $5.1 million men's coat delivery order (August 2025), a $4.05 million men's trouser order (April 2026), and a $1.33 million men's jacket order (May 2025). Two newer IDCs round out the vehicle portfolio: a $53.8 million Air Force and Space Force dress trousers and slacks contract (SPE1C125R0027, awarded October 2025, 11 delivery orders through April 2026) and a $783.6 thousand Marine Corps dress trouser stripes contract (SPE1C125R0052, awarded July 2025). These vehicles establish delivery-order ceilings ranging from hundreds of dollars to over $4 million per order, with ultimate completion dates spanning from mid-2026 through 2030 and 2033.

Activity has accelerated sharply: two awards in 2023, 22 in 2024, and 76 in 2025, driven by the acquisition and activation of the new Air Force/Space Force dress trouser IDC in Q4 2025. Fourteen awards reach completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $13.1 million, concentrated in the existing men's coat contract expiring May 2026—a modest recompete exposure relative to the $224 million total portfolio. GIL Sewing competes 100% as a prime under small business set-asides; the vendor does not subcontract or hold positions on GSA Schedules, GWACs, or other government-wide vehicles. PSC concentration shows 85 awards for men's outerwear and 45 for women's outerwear, reflecting the apparel manufacturing focus. All work is performed at GIL Sewing's Morton Grove, Illinois facility and subject to Berry Amendment compliance, enforcing domestic production of all military uniform components.
