About the company
The Fechheimer Brothers Company, a Cincinnati-based subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., manufactures military and government uniforms and apparel for federal agencies as a prime contractor operating in open (full-and-open) federal markets without set-aside designations. The company competes across 469 federal awards spanning 22 distinct customer agencies, with no subcontract footprint and complete manufacturing responsibility across its federal contracting portfolio.
Fechheimer Brothers operates as a specialized uniform manufacturer serving all military service branches and civilian federal agencies. Its concrete capability portfolio centers on men's and women's service dress coats, trousers, slacks, officer dress uniforms, mess dress uniforms, and specialized parade uniforms for service academies. Representative work includes a $5.34 million delivery order from the Defense Logistics Agency Clothing and Textiles division for men's service dress coats (awarded May 2025), an $8.62 million DLA delivery order for men's coats (April 2026), a $4.03 million indefinite delivery contract with the Air Force for U.S. Air Force Academy parade uniforms through October 2029, and a $3.57 million Air Force indefinite delivery contract for officer service dress and mess dress uniforms through April 2028. The company also holds a $646,419 multi-year definitive contract with the Maritime Administration for midshipmen uniforms critical to indoctrination training at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (awarded May 2026, base year plus four option periods through May 2031).
Customer concentration is dominated by defense logistics and military service branches. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division accounts for 74 awards worth $220.1 million combined potential value — roughly 46% of the company's total federal footprint. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Soldier ranks second by dollar volume with seven awards totaling $196.3 million, anchored by multi-year indefinite delivery contracts for Army service uniforms. The Department of the Air Force (76 awards, $28.9 million) and the Air Force Academy (95 awards, $20.9 million) together represent approximately $49.8 million. The Marine Corps (92 awards, $3.4 million) and the Maritime Administration (82 awards, $2.2 million) round out the top five. The split between award count and dollar value reveals that DLA and Army drive most dollars through fewer, larger contracts while Air Force Academy and Marine Corps place many smaller task orders.
Fechheimer Brothers executes work under five major parent indefinite delivery contracts: the DLA contract SPE1C121D1466 (40 task orders, $58.5 million), the Army PEO Soldier contract SPE1C121D1468 (27 task orders, $32.7 million), the Air Force contract FA700013D0002 (30 task orders, $4.1 million), and the Air Force contract FA700018D0001 (22 task orders, $4.7 million). These vehicles collectively represent the bulk of the company's federal task order activity. The company's broader IDV ceiling value across all contracts exceeds $235 million, reflecting its established position as a preferred supplier within military uniform procurement infrastructure.
Activity has accelerated year over year, from 12 awards in 2022 to 33 in 2025. Recent year-to-date 2026 activity shows 18 awards, suggesting sustained momentum. Eight awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $11.1 million, representing the recompete exposure window.
NAICS concentration aligns with uniform manufacturing: Men's and Boys' Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing dominates with 138 awards, followed by Men's and Boys' Cut and Sew Suit, Coat, and Overcoat Manufacturing (89 awards), Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors (34 awards), and related categories. Product Service Code distribution reinforces specialization: Outerwear, Men's accounts for 238 awards; Clothing, Special Purpose covers 156 awards; and Outerwear, Women's represents 49 awards.
Fechheimer Brothers is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., a diversified conglomerate and veteran-owned business. A named subsidiary, Nationwide Uniform Corp, also operates within the corporate structure. The company has held federal contractor registration since August 2001 and manufactures at facilities in Cincinnati and Montgomery, Ohio, with performance also occurring at customer sites including the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Great Neck, New York. The company does not identify subcontractors across its federal work; all manufacturing responsibility remains in-house.
