About the company
WL Gore & Associates Inc.'s Fabrics Division, operating as W L Gore & Associates Inc., supplies specialized laminated fabrics, protective textiles, and fabric-based components to federal agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) with minimal subcontract engagement. The division is a for-profit subsidiary headquartered in Elkton, Maryland, under parent company WL Gore & Associates Inc. (Newark, Delaware), and competes in full-and-open federal procurements without SBA set-aside designations.
The Fabrics Division's capability portfolio centers on laminated and coated textiles for protective apparel, medical supplies, and specialized clothing applications. Recent prime work includes a $122,040 purchase order from Federal Correctional Institution Manchester (July 2026) for 1-1/2" laminated fabric (part number 0GTZZ038KHKN), with Elkton-based performance and firm fixed pricing. The division also supplies protective gloves, specialty socks, and tactical apparel components as a subcontractor to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. on Department of Defense chemical-biological-radiological-nuclear (CBRN) defense contracts awarded in late 2024, and supplies fabric assemblies to United States Special Operations Command and the Naval Supply Systems Command Engineering Logistics Office on separate tactical-clothing procurements.
Customer concentration is diffuse across defense and civilian agencies. The top five customers by award count (26% of awards combined) are the Department of the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command (8 awards, $404 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons (7 awards), the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration across two integrated service networks (13 awards combined, $141 thousand), and the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles (7 awards, $331 thousand). By potential value, however, the United States Special Operations Command (2 awards, $1.3 million) and the Naval Supply Systems Command Engineering Logistics Office (2 awards, $845 thousand) anchor 53% of combined potential value across the top five dollar-ranked customers. The division serves 31 distinct federal customer agencies over its recorded award history.
The division places the majority of work under five unnamed indefinite delivery contracts (DJU4600002477 with 32 task orders; 4600000134 with 9 task orders; DJU4600001686 with 5 task orders; DJU4600002948 with 4 task orders; and DJU4600003685 with 3 task orders), totaling 53 task orders across $885 thousand in combined potential value. Award activity is episodic rather than steady — five awards in 2024, one in 2026, and sparse volume in 2016–2018 — with combined dollars obligated ($22.2 million) exceeding combined potential value ($6.1 million) across the 134 total awards in the source, reflecting contract modifications and delivery-order execution against low-ceiling indefinite vehicles. The division's core NAICS footprint spans All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills (35 awards), Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (22 awards), and Fabric Coating Mills (19 awards), with primary PSC coding in Textile Fabrics (58 awards) and Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (33 awards).
