VF Imagewear, Inc.

VF Imagewear, Inc. (operating as the VF Imageweaer Division and doing business as VF Imagewear Inc.) is a Nashville, Tennessee–headquartered manufacturer and supplier of flame-resistant coveralls, protective apparel, uniforms, and occupational clothing to the federal government, competing as a prime contractor across full-and-open vehicles with no set-aside designation. The company is structured as a limited liability company and for-profit organization; the source identifies it as a subsidiary of VF Corporation and characterizes it as a primary federal supplier of standardized uniforms and protective equipment.

VF Imagewear's federal footprint spans 1,339 prime awards across eighty-one customer agencies with $6.84 billion in combined potential value, though activity has declined sharply in recent years—from seventy-five awards in 2020 to only five in 2024. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract role. The portfolio concentrates heavily in Clothing and Special Purpose PSC codes (543 awards), Outerwear Men's (499 awards), and manufacturing NAICS categories centered on apparel and accessory production. The company competes across full-and-open competition with no SBA set-aside posture across its recent award history.

Customer concentration is extreme and skewed toward Department of Homeland Security and Department of Interior components. By award count, the top five customers account for 40% of all awards: DHS Transportation Security Administration (203 awards, $1.48 billion combined potential value) leads the volume ranking, followed by Department of Interior National Park Service (126 awards), DHS US Coast Guard (74 awards, $12.3 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (67 awards, $79 thousand), and DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (59 awards, $4.4 million). By potential value, the ranking shifts dramatically: DHS Customs and Border Protection anchors the portfolio with 47 awards valued at $5.01 billion—99% of total portfolio value flows to the top five customers by dollars. This divergence signals that CBP holds very large individual delivery orders while TSA and NPS drive frequency through smaller orders.

VF Imagewear operates across multiple federal contracting vehicles, most significantly an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract (HSBP1014D00034, likely a DHS strategic sourcing vehicle) carrying 352 task orders and $427.3 million in combined potential value. The vendor also maintains substantial presence on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (265 task orders, $1.2 million combined value), Federal Supply Schedule GS07F5478R (163 task orders, $143 thousand), Blanket Purchase Agreement C2640A00001 (128 task orders), and Department of Interior IDIQ INP17PC00637 (79 task orders, $51.4 million). The August 2023 award description references a $600 million DHS vehicle and a $130 million Department of Interior vehicle, though current source data attributes most volume to the DHS IDIQ listed above.

Representative recent work includes a $17,584.93 August 2023 delivery order to U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces for Comfort Touch Deluxe Coveralls in Navy; a $7.338 million January 2022 delivery order from Department of Interior and Army Corps of Engineers for Non-Fire Vegetation Response Program uniforms across multiple DOI bureaus; and a $795 thousand April 2022 delivery order from DOI and USACE for department-wide multi-agency uniforms. Smaller-value GSA Schedule delivery orders (under $863 each) for Bulwark flame-resistant coveralls in various sizes to the Federal Acquisition Service and Navy components dominate the recent award count, with completion dates from 2022 through early 2024.

Activity has contracted sharply over the past four years. The vendor recorded nineteen awards in 2022 (the low point in the five-year window), recovered to thirty-five in 2023, then dropped to only five awards in 2024 (through the January 3 award date in the source). Combined dollars obligated stand at $1.29 billion against $6.84 billion potential value (19% obligation rate), indicating substantial unexercised contract ceiling. The recompete cliff is not quantified in the source, but the 2022–2023 completion dates on major DOI and DHS delivery orders suggest material contract value will cycle into recompete during 2025–2026.
