Sawasawa LLC

Sawasawa LLC is a Los Angeles-based minority-owned, woman-owned, and economically disadvantaged small business that specializes in manufacturing and supplying military clothing and textile products to the U.S. Department of Defense. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since August 2011 with UEI KW9JB1C7ARK3, the company operates as a limited liability corporation and has established itself as a strategic supplier within the Defense Logistics Agency's Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division. Sawasawa LLC's core business focuses on the design, manufacturing, and delivery of standardized military apparel and athletic uniforms for various service branches, including the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Space Force, and U.S. Coast Guard, with all work performed at its Los Angeles, California facility.

Through its extensive history of federal contract awards, Sawasawa LLC has demonstrated considerable expertise in delivering a comprehensive range of military clothing and textile items. The company has received numerous delivery orders from the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division for products including athletic t-shirts (in various colors and configurations including tan and 7-pack quantities), men's and women's shirts, sweatpants, sweatshirts, physical fitness trunks, running shorts, and all-purpose shorts for military personnel across multiple service branches. Additionally, Sawasawa LLC has fulfilled contracts with the U.S. Air Force Academy for specialized cadet apparel, including cadet bathrobes, parkas, athletic jackets, blankets, comforters, and sweatsuits. The company has also provided athletic uniforms consisting of running jackets, running trousers, jersey shirts, and shorts directly to Air Force personnel. The vast majority of these delivery orders have been awarded on a firm fixed-price basis without set-aside designations, though many were issued under larger indefinite delivery contracts that themselves carried total small business set-aside designations. Contract values have ranged from small orders of several hundred dollars to single delivery orders exceeding $2.4 million, with cumulative annual contract activity regularly surpassing $10 million in total task order value. The primary funding source across all awards has been the Defense Logistics Agency through its Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division, supplemented by direct awards from the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Air Force Academy.

Sawasawa LLC currently holds seven active indefinite delivery contracts with combined ceiling values exceeding $110 million, establishing the company as a cornerstone supplier for military clothing and textile procurement through 2027-2029. The largest and most significant IDV is SPE1C122D1515, a $57.7 million total small business set-aside contract awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency on November 30, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of November 29, 2026, which encompasses the procurement of moisture-wicking athletic t-shirts in various configurations and colors for military personnel. A second major IDV is SPE1C122D1567, valued at $12.7 million and set aside for total small business participation, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency on July 13, 2022, for the supply of men's shirts through July 12, 2027. Additional significant IDVs include a $18.9 million contract (SPE1C123D0026) awarded October 31, 2024, for physical fitness trunks and related apparel; a $9.1 million contract awarded October 31, 2022, for various athletic t-shirts and apparel items; a $3.5 million contract awarded December 10, 2024, for athletic uniforms including running jackets and related items for the U.S. Air Force; a $2.1 million contract for sweatpants awarded February 25, 2022; and a $769,321 contract awarded by the U.S. Air Force on November 19, 2024, for cadet issue blankets, comforters, and sweatsuits through November 18, 2027. All of these IDVs are set aside for total small business participation and have generated consistent task order activity, with delivery orders issued regularly across multiple service branches and fiscal years. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division has served as the primary issuing agency for task orders across the majority of these contracts, supplemented by direct task order issuance from the U.S. Air Force for specialized cadet apparel requirements, demonstrating Sawasawa LLC's critical role in supporting the Defense Department's military clothing and textile supply chain infrastructure.
