A Sonabend Company, Inc.

A Sonabend Company, Inc., doing business as A Sonabend Co Inc., is a woman-owned small business based in San Diego, California, that provides uniform tailoring and alteration services to the United States Marine Corps as a prime contractor operating exclusively in the full-and-open competitive market with no set-aside designation. The vendor competes on a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC M0068122D0001) valued at $22.1 million with ultimate completion August 31, 2027, and holds no secondary vehicles or parent contract relationships.

Sonabend's federal footprint is vertically concentrated and operationally narrow by design. The vendor serves a single customer—the Marine Corps—across 152 prime awards representing $101.9 million in combined potential value, constituting 96% of all awards in the source data. Work scope is specialized and repetitive: uniform fitting, marking, and alteration services for Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego personnel categories including regular recruits (male and female), reserve recruits, drill instructors, career planners, and recruiter school staff. Representative delivery orders from the current performance period include a $3.4 million order (March 1, 2025) for regular male recruit first-fit alterations, a $3.0 million order (March 1, 2026) for uniform fittings and alterations for regular recruit male and female personnel and expedited services, and a $643 thousand order (March 1, 2026) for male and female uniform alterations and expedited services. All work is performed on a firm fixed-price basis at the San Diego location (ZIP codes 92110 and 92140).

The vendor's primary vehicle is the single-award IDC M0068122D0001, which has generated 34 task orders carrying $19.9 million in combined potential value since the contract's award on April 18, 2022. Four additional older IDCs and basic ordering agreements (BOAs) historically held by Sonabend—M0068118D0009, M0024380D0009, M0024384D0008, and M0068114D0008—collectively account for 158 earlier task orders; these vehicles appear to have reached completion or are no longer active against current sourcing activity. Recent task orders (2025–2026) are issued exclusively under the active IDC M0068122D0001, which extends through August 2027. No subcontractors appear in the award history; Sonabend operates as a sole performer across all awards.

Activity has been stable at low volume in recent years: five awards per year in both 2025 and 2026 compared to eleven in 2022 and nine in 2023. Combined potential value across all 312 awards in the source data is $102.8 million, with $69.9 million obligated (68% realization). The recompete cliff is limited: only six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $4.4 million, and all sit under the single-award IDC extending to August 2027, meaning no major vehicle recompete pressure is visible in the near term. Work is categorized under NAICS 451 (Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance—139 awards) and PSC H211 (Housekeeping: Laundry/Drycleaning—149 awards), with secondary coding for modification of equipment apparel and insignia (118 awards under PSC H299). The vendor's registration in the System for Award Management dates to June 2001, indicating sustained specialization in Marine Corps uniform services for over two decades with no recorded diversification into other federal customers or service lines.

Sonabend is a WOSB that specializes in altering uniforms for the US Military - specifically the USMC.
