Mitts Nitts Inc.

Mitts Nitts Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business manufacturer based in Durham, North Carolina, manufactures cold weather military apparel—primarily glove inserts and sweaters—exclusively for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contracts. Mitts Nitts is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation structured as a manufacturer of goods, competing predominantly under the total small business set-aside category across its prime footprint.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division accounts for 184 of 313 awards (58.8% of the portfolio) valued at $67.9 million in combined potential value, with the broader DLA organism adding another 112 awards worth $13.5 million. These two customers comprise 92% of all awards by count and dollar value. Secondary DLA divisions—DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment and others within DLA—round out the customer set; the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Homeland Security account for eight awards combined. Mitts Nitts holds two primary indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Troop Support: a $6 million single-award IDIQ for cold weather glove inserts (SPE1C120D1221, awarded May 29, 2025, running through November 29, 2026) and a $3.86 million single-award IDIQ for military sweaters (awarded September 27, 2021, running through September 26, 2025). Against the glove-insert IDIQ alone, DLA Troop Support has issued eleven delivery orders totaling approximately $4.57 million. All delivery orders are firm fixed-price and performed at the contractor's Durham facility.

The capability portfolio is narrow and specialized. Recent representative work includes a $641,476.80 delivery order (March 26, 2026) for cold weather glove inserts, a $358,675.20 order (March 10, 2026) for the same, a $425,926.80 order (May 30, 2025) for glove inserts, and multiple sweater orders ranging from $168,550.20 to $964,821.00. All work is apparel manufacturing under NAICS codes 315211 (Men's and Boys' Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors—103 awards), 315212 (Manufacturing—58 awards), and related clothing fabrication categories. PSC codes reflect the same focus: Outerwear Men's (232 awards), Clothing Special Purpose (71 awards), and Outerwear Women's (28 awards).

Activity has declined modestly from twelve awards in 2022 to seven per year in 2025 and 2026. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal—only four awards with combined potential value of $1.7 million reach completion within that window. Total potential value across all 341 awards (prime only, zero subcontracting) is $92.5 million, with $74.5 million obligated to date (81% of potential value). The vendor has no identified subcontractor relationships; all awards name Mitts Nitts as the prime contractor with no sub-awards in the source data.
