Hardwick Tactical Corporation

Hardwick Tactical Corporation is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. The company specializes in the production of specialized military apparel, particularly Extended Cold Weather (ECW) parkas featuring LOFT insulation technology designed for military personnel operating in extreme environmental conditions. Registered in SAM.gov since January 9, 2020, Hardwick Tactical Corporation has established itself as a strategic supplier to the Defense Logistics Agency, serving as the focused provider of critical cold weather protective equipment that supports U.S. defense personnel readiness and operational capability in harsh climates.

Hardwick Tactical Corporation's federal contract award history demonstrates consistent engagement with the Defense Logistics Agency's Clothing and Textiles program exclusively, with all four recorded delivery orders focused on the procurement of ECW parkas in urban grey with LOFT technology. The delivery orders awarded between October 2024 and September 2025 range substantially in value, from $449,352 to $2.41 million, with firm fixed-price contract structures and completion dates between September 2025 and January 2026. All four delivery orders—issued on October 7, 2024; March 10, 2025; March 27, 2025; and September 2, 2025—carried no socioeconomic set-aside designations despite the contractor's small disadvantaged business certification. The contractor performs all manufacturing work at its facility in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, and has demonstrated consistent capacity to fulfill large-scale military clothing procurement requirements across multiple delivery order cycles.

Hardwick Tactical Corporation holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency's Clothing and Textiles program, valued at $60.74 million with a performance period extending through September 25, 2029. This IDC, awarded on September 26, 2024, was designated with a Total Small Business set-aside, despite no set-aside application to the individual delivery orders issued thereunder. The contract vehicle procures Extended Cold Weather parkas in urban grey featuring LOFT technology and serves as the primary procurement mechanism for the Defense Logistics Agency's ongoing cold weather apparel requirements. The four delivery orders generated under this indefinite delivery contract demonstrate sustained demand for the specified parka configuration, establishing Hardwick Tactical Corporation as the sole-source supplier for this specialized military cold weather apparel and providing the company with visibility into sustained production requirements through 2029.
