VF Imagewear, Inc.

VF Imagewear, Inc., doing business as VF Imagewear Inc., manufactures and supplies protective apparel, uniforms, and occupational clothing to federal agencies as a prime contractor operating from Nashville, Tennessee, with a $6.84 billion combined potential value footprint across 1,340 delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts. The company competes in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations, drawing on a portfolio concentrated in flame-resistant coveralls, specialized uniforms for law enforcement and military personnel, and tactical apparel delivered through government-wide vehicles and agency-specific IDIQs.

VF Imagewear's customer base centers on the Department of Homeland Security, which accounts for the overwhelming majority of dollar value and award volume. The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection represents the single largest customer by potential value at $5.01 billion across 47 awards, followed by the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration at $1.48 billion across 203 awards. The Department of the Interior National Park Service accounts for 126 awards, and the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard placed 74 awards valued at $12.3 million combined. These five customers represent 39% of all awards by count but 99% of combined potential value, reflecting a concentration strategy anchored to DHS law enforcement and border-security operations. Recent visible work includes $342,350 in training uniforms supplied to the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Secret Service (June 2022), $795,040.25 in Department of the Interior and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers uniforms (April 2022), $7.34 million in Department of the Interior non-fire uniform services (January 2022), and repeated GSA Multiple Award Schedule delivery orders for Bulwark flame-resistant coveralls to Navy and general government customers at sub-thousand-dollar values (May–January 2023).

VF Imagewear operates primarily through two marquee parent vehicles: the Indefinite Delivery Contract HSBP1014D00034, a $600 million DHS vehicle carrying 352 task orders with $427.3 million in combined potential value, and the Department of the Interior Indefinite Delivery Contract INP17PC00637, a $130 million multi-agency uniform contract with 79 task orders valued at $51.4 million combined. The vendor also holds a seat on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which generated 265 task orders valued at $1.2 million combined. The Federal Supply Schedule GS07F5478R account carried 163 task orders, and a Department of Homeland Security Blanket Purchase Agreement (C2640A00001) supported 128 orders.

Activity has declined materially in recent years — 75 awards in 2020 dropped to 44 in 2021, 20 in 2022, 35 in 2023, and 5 in 2024 — signaling either a shift to larger-value task orders under existing IDIQs or reduced frequency of new procurements. Combined dollars obligated across the entire portfolio total $1.3 billion, representing 19% of combined potential value, which indicates substantial ceiling capacity on standing vehicles.

VF Imagewear's capability portfolio centers on protective and occupational apparel: flame-resistant (FR) coveralls in Bulwark and Red Kap brands in multiple sizes and weights, deluxe and contractor grades, law-enforcement uniforms including pants, polo shirts, and utility garments, military uniform components such as foul-weather parkas, liners, and winter dress-blue items, and specialized outfitting for federal air marshals, coast guard personnel, and park service rangers. NAICS concentration falls on Other Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (403 awards) and Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (397 awards), with PSC concentration in Clothing, Special Purpose (544 awards) and Outerwear, Men's (499 awards).
