Marlow White Uniforms Inc.

Marlow White Uniforms Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Leavenworth, Kansas, manufactures and supplies military uniforms, ceremonial swords and scabbards, and specialized apparel accessories to the Department of the Army, the Coast Guard, Army National Guard units, and other defense agencies as a prime contractor competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor (372 of 373 awards) with a single subsidiary, Bowdon Uniforms, Inc., and competes across a fragmented set of small-dollar purchase orders and delivery orders rather than on large government-wide vehicles.

Marlow White's capability footprint spans men's and boys' cut-and-sew uniforms (57 awards across NAICS 315211), apparel contracting (54 awards under NAICS 315222), metal cutlery and ceremonial swords (47 awards under NAICS 332215), and specialized outerwear and badges. Representative prime work includes a $594,091 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Army (awarded March 2026) for colonial uniforms with performance at Fort Myer, Virginia; a $1,162,666 single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Coast Guard through September 2026 for ceremonial swords and scabbards, against which eight delivery orders worth $1.1 million have been placed; and a $281,400 indefinite delivery contract with the Army Sustainment Command through July 2026 for NCO swords and sabers supporting the Old Guard, 3rd Infantry Regiment. Smaller orders include $103,444 in swords and scabbards for Coast Guard officers (September 2024, total small business set-aside), $97,800 for Coast Guard Academy clothing locker swords (April 2026, total small business set-aside), and $58,551 for Army Green Service Uniforms for Michigan Army National Guard soldiers (July 2024, total small business set-aside).

Customer concentration sits with the Department of the Army and its subordinate commands, which account for 40% of all awards but drive lower individual dollar values. The Arizona Army National Guard ranks first by potential value ($5.2 million across six awards), followed by the Coast Guard ($4.8 million, 27 awards), and the Army Sustainment Command ($3.4 million, 29 awards). The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles ranks fourth at $3.2 million (seven awards). The top five customers by potential-value share represent 70% of the combined potential value across the entire footprint, indicating concentration risk. The vendor has served 82 distinct customer agencies over the award history, but the bulk of work clusters with uniformed services and their sub-components.

Marlow White holds five named indefinite delivery contracts anchoring its vehicle position. The Coast Guard IDC (70Z02321DQAD00500, $1,162,666 ceiling, eight task orders totaling $1.1 million) and the Army Sustainment Command IDC (contract number listed as W91QF707D0007 in vehicle detail, seven task orders, $209 thousand combined value) are the highest-activity vehicles. Additional IDVs with the Coast Guard (HSCG2315DQAD033, eight task orders, $472 thousand), the Air Force (FA700013D0005, five task orders, $649 thousand), and Defense Logistics Agency (SPM1C112D1059, five task orders, $1.4 million) round out the vehicle footprint. All vehicles are single-award contracts, meaning Marlow White competes without co-awardees on these vehicles.

Activity has contracted year over year, declining from eight awards in 2022 to three in 2026 (through April). Only two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $692 thousand, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Recent obligated dollars total $19 million against $27.2 million in combined potential value (70% obligated rate), suggesting the vendor has invoiced the majority of work awarded but faces a narrowing pipeline. The vendor operates as a single-award IDC holder on niche ceremonial and specialty uniform contracts rather than competing on multi-award vehicles or civilian agency programs; this posture limits visibility into broader federal procurement trends but anchors relationships with the Old Guard and Coast Guard ceremonial functions. Marlow White subcontracts minimally — one sub-award in the source data, an engraved nameplate order under Atlantic Diving Supply as a sub-supplier — indicating a primarily direct-to-customer prime model.
