About the company
Stratton Hats, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Bellwood, Illinois, supplies military service hats and drill instructor hats to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under full-and-open delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with no small business set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The company operates exclusively from its Bellwood facility and has maintained a continuous federal contracting relationship since SAM.gov registration in 2001.
Stratton Hats' customer concentration is extreme — the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division accounts for 110 of 160 awards tracked in recent activity (83% of award count and 100% of combined potential value at $36.1 million). The remaining 50 awards split across the Defense Logistics Agency broadly (46 awards), the Department of the Army (2 awards), the Department of State Bureau of African Affairs (1 award, $10 thousand), and the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region (1 award, $4 thousand). This concentration reflects a single-customer, single-product business model — the vendor manufactures service hats to military specification and draws its entire federal revenue from DLA's uniform procurement pipeline.
Stratton Hats holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Troop Support: a $5.6 million unrestricted IDC awarded April 6, 2023 (expiring April 5, 2032) and a $5.9 million small-business-set-aside IDC awarded September 27, 2021 (expiring September 26, 2026). The unrestricted IDC carries the higher task-order velocity and anchors recent delivery orders in the $200,000 to $660,000 range, issued on firm fixed-price basis throughout 2024–2026. Five additional smaller IDVs (SPE1C116D1076, SPM1C111D1058, SP010001D0303, SPE1C123D0038, and SP010006D0376) also carry task-order activity, reflecting historical DLA procurement vehicles. Activity has remained flat at two to four awards per year over 2022–2026, with combined obligated dollars of $27.9 million (77% of combined potential value). The small-business-set-aside IDC expires September 26, 2026 — representing a recompete window for that vehicle — while the unrestricted IDC extends through April 2032 with stable ordering patterns.
Stratton Hats subcontracts to no federal primes; all 193 tracked awards are prime contract awards. The vendor's capability footprint is narrow and specialized: military headwear manufacturing under PSC Outerwear, Men's (179 awards) and Individual Equipment (10 awards), with secondary NAICS coding in Hat, Cap, and Millinery Manufacturing and related apparel-production categories. The company manufactures to government specification, carries no supply-chain or engineering complexity, and competes on pricing and manufacturing capacity rather than technical differentiation or integration capability.
