About the company
North East Knitting, Inc., a women-owned small business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, manufactures elastic, drawcord, webbing, and cordage products for federal agencies as a direct prime contractor, competing predominantly in open market procurements without set-aside designation despite holding both WOSB and HUBZone certifications. The company is a Subchapter S corporation and self-certified small disadvantaged business with minority-owned (Black American) and woman-owned business designations; all materials supplied are Berry Amendment compliant and domestically produced.
North East Knitting's federal footprint centers almost entirely on the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, which accounts for 77% of recent awards across 121 individual purchase orders and task orders totaling roughly $1.99 million in combined potential value. The Bureau of Prisons Central Office leads by dollar value ($948 thousand across 14 awards), while specific correctional facilities—Fort Dix (27 awards, $242 thousand), Manchester (20 awards, $224 thousand), and Oakdale (26 awards, $43 thousand)—drive transaction volume. These awards supply elastic and drawcord components for inmate uniform manufacturing and correctional facility supplies. Recent representative work includes a $65,100 delivery order from the Defense Logistics Agency issued August 28, 2026, for various cordage under Total Small Business set-aside; a $16,022 open-market purchase order from an unnamed civilian federal entity in March 2026 for elastic and drawcord; and a $15,563 purchase order from Federal Correctional Institution Manchester in November 2025 for elastic and drawcord materials.
The vendor holds a multi-award indefinite-delivery contract (DJU4600004283) with the Defense Logistics Agency, awarded June 25, 2026, with a $418,380 ceiling running through June 24, 2027, which covers cords, drawstrings, and cordage for UNICOR prison industry facilities across eight states. Task orders against this IDV and two other DLA indefinite-delivery contracts (DJU4600003904 and DJU4600003910) account for 98 of 158 total awards. Activity has been episodic: one award in 2022, seven in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026 to date. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months ($65 thousand in potential value), indicating stable incumbent positioning on core Bureau of Prisons and DLA textile supply contracts. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract engagements in the source data; it has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2006 and holds a demonstrated five-year track record supplying Bureau of Prisons facilities with typical 60- to 90-day delivery cycles.
