San Antonio Shoe Inc.

San Antonio Shoe Inc., doing business as San Antonio Shoemakers, manufactures men's and women's running shoes for the Department of Defense as a woman-owned small business prime contractor competing in full-and-open federal procurement with no set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, with a subsidiary, Sas, Inc., also woman-owned. Across 265 prime awards totaling $287.9 million in combined potential value, San Antonio Shoemakers operates exclusively under the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division, with minimal exposure to other federal customers—two awards valued at $243 thousand with the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command for prototype boot design.

The vendor's capability is narrowly defined: manufacture of military-grade men's and women's running shoes in sizes and quantities to support Department of Defense physical fitness programs across all service branches. Recent representative contracts include a $5.3 million firm fixed-price delivery order for men's running shoes awarded February 10, 2026, a $4.61 million delivery order for women's running shoes from the same date, and a $1.54 million delivery order for men's running shoes from January 14, 2026—all against the primary indefinite delivery vehicle. The company holds no subcontractors and performs all manufacturing in-house at its San Antonio facility.

Customer concentration is total: DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles accounts for 263 of 265 awards (99.2%) and $287.7 million of $287.9 million in combined potential value. This extreme concentration reflects the vendor's role as a single-award or limited-award supplier under three primary indefinite delivery contracts, which anchor the federal footprint. The top parent vehicles are Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C123D0036 (118 task orders, $87.9 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C118D1018 (84 task orders, $23.6 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C121D1458 (55 task orders, $25.5 million). The largest and oldest vehicle, awarded March 22, 2023, carries a ceiling of $90,590,940 and runs through March 21, 2026—a near-term recompete risk.

Activity has grown substantially year over year: 17 awards in 2022 to 44 in 2024, with a modest pull-back to 33 in 2025 and 13 in the first quarter of 2026. Eighteen awards with combined potential value of $27.3 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing material recompete exposure concentrated on the primary DLA IDV and its refresh cycle. The vendor competes for and wins task orders in full-and-open competition against likely competitors holding seats on the same vehicles; no set-aside categories apply across the footprint. Category concentration is absolute: 263 awards fall under footwear manufacturing NAICS, with 156 awards for men's footwear and 107 for women's footwear. The company's invoiced revenue and actual task order values suggest strong execution and on-time delivery performance, evidenced by consistent DLA order flow and lack of contract terminations or amendments in the award record.
