S N D Manufacturing, LIMITED

S N D Manufacturing, LIMITED, doing business as Formals, manufactures design, and supplies Berry Amendment-compliant military physical fitness uniforms and athletic apparel as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations. The company is a minority-owned and woman-owned small business (WOSB) partnership headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with manufacturing performed at its Dallas facility.

Formals' federal footprint is nearly monolithic: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles accounts for 237 of 245 total awards (97% by count) and $314 million of the $363.5 million combined potential value. The remaining customer agencies—the United States Marine Corps ($46.9 million across three awards), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office ($2.1 million), and the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix ($462 thousand)—represent secondary relationship channels. Formals operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no subcontract activity appears in the award record.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on a narrowly defined product set: physical fitness jackets, athlete's jackets, athletic pants, physical fitness trunks, t-shirts, and running shorts for Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force personnel, all manufactured to domestic-material specifications under the Berry Amendment. Representative delivery orders include a $931.68 million order for athlete's jackets awarded July 16, 2025, a $763.08 million order for physical fitness jackets awarded March 21, 2025, a $5.44 million order for physical fitness trunks awarded September 22, 2025, and a $409.76 million order for women's physical training running shorts awarded December 8, 2025. Formals holds five named indefinite delivery vehicles with DLA Clothing and Textiles, with the largest—a $46.29 million single-award Total Small Business IDC for athlete's and physical fitness jackets awarded April 29, 2024, and extending through November 2028—generating 76 task orders valued at $21.8 million to date. A $21.25 million single-award Total Small Business IDC for physical fitness trunks, awarded January 10, 2025, and running through January 2028, carries four delivery orders totaling approximately $13.28 million. Three additional DLA vehicles generate smaller cumulative values across running shorts, athletic apparel components, and related items.

Activity has grown unevenly over the past five years: 29 awards in 2022, declining to 17 in 2023, recovering to 22 in 2024, and rising to 28 in 2025, with eight awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Five awards carrying $7.5 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on its largest IDCs and under full-and-open designation on many task orders issued against those vehicles. Formals' business model is highly specialized and geographically concentrated: all manufacturing occurs in Dallas, material sourcing is constrained by Berry Amendment requirements, and customer relationships are locked to a single dominant agency (DLA Clothing and Textiles) through multi-year, high-volume indefinite delivery vehicles. Competitive vulnerability centers on recompete risk for the two largest IDCs maturing in 2028 and 2025 respectively, and on the vendor's narrow product scope, which limits ability to pursue work outside the military athletic apparel supply chain.
