Saf-Gard Safety Shoe Co

Saf-Gard Safety Shoe Co, a small-business-owned for-profit corporation headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, manufactures and supplies occupational safety footwear and delivers mobile fitting services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across civilian and defense sectors. The vendor competes on full-and-open (non-set-aside) and small-business set-aside vehicles in roughly equal measure, with recent activity showing split between total small business set-asides and unrestricted procurements.

Saf-Gard's federal footprint spans OSHA and ASTM-compliant safety shoes and boots—including composite-toe, slip-resistant, electrical-hazard, and waterproof variants—delivered through three distinct channels: direct sales, mobile truck operations (on-site fitting services), and online ordering. Representative work includes a $426,000 purchase order from TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (Army) for on-site safety shoe and boot store operations at Watervliet Arsenal, New York, running through July 2028 with weekly three-to-three-and-a-half-hour Monday service calls; a $240,000 firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for mobile shoe truck service at Indian Head, Maryland and Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, with monthly and bimonthly visits through June 2026; and a $149,604 five-year delivery order from the National Institutes of Health for mobile truck service to NIH main campus (Bethesda, Maryland), NIH Durham (North Carolina), and NIEHS Frederick (Maryland) through September 2028.

Customer concentration clusters in four agencies. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal leads by award count (165 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value), as does the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving and Printing (86 awards, $1.9 million). The Army's Installation Management Command Northeast Region places 32 awards valued at $1.8 million; Naval Sea Systems Command holds 23 awards valued at $1.7 million. These top four account for 34 percent of the 1,001 total awards in the source. Saf-Gard's top 69 customer agencies span both civilian (VA, Treasury, Interior, NIH, Smithsonian) and defense (Army, Navy, Air Force) missions.

The vendor's prime footprint rests on a GSA Federal Supply Schedule (GS07F5474P, 334 task orders, $4.2 million combined potential value) and multiple single-award and multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts and BPAs. Named IDVs include a $250,000 single-award BPA with Army Sustainment Command running through July 2030; a $487,361 multiple-award BPA with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing through July 2030; a $300,000 single-award BPA with Washington Headquarters Service through August 2029; a $249,000 multiple-award BPA with Naval Sea Systems Command through May 2027 (which has generated five task orders totaling approximately $75,481); a $221,400 single-award IDC with the National Institutes of Health for truck service across multiple facilities; and a $192,125 single-award IDC with Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 for the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center through June 2029. Saf-Gard also holds single-award IDCs with Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 valued at $175,000 (through May 2029) and $168,000 (through June 2031).

Activity has remained steady at 19–25 awards per year over the past five years, with sixteen awards (combined potential value $1.4 million) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months, signaling near-term recompete exposure. Saf-Gard operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% prime, 0% sub) and does not maintain named subcontractor relationships in the source data. The vendor's award portfolio concentrates in three NAICS categories: Other Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (335 awards), Men's Footwear except Athletic Manufacturing (188 awards), and Footwear Manufacturing (183 awards); PSC 6105 (Footwear, Men's) dominates with 632 awards. Combined potential value across all 1,001 awards totals $25 million, with $12.6 million obligated to date (50% execution rate).
