FAQ

What work fits NAICS 315210?
  • Manufacture uniform shirts and trousers to exact material, seam, and size specifications, delivered in lot-quantity with tagged and barcoded size labels.
  • Produce cold-weather outerwear with specified insulation, waterproof seam sealing, and approved closures for field use.
  • Provide alteration and sizing services for contract-furnished garment batches, including regrading and relabeling to updated size charts.
  • Execute limited-run prototype garments from provided patterns and tech packs for evaluation prior to bulk production.
When is NAICS 315210 a weak fit?
  • Apparel pattern design and digital grading services: design-only contracts that supply patterns and size grading but do not include physical cutting and sewing of garments, which removes manufacturing content.
  • Fabric manufacturing (weaving or knitting): production of textile yardage and rolls where the contract supplies raw fabric but does not include cutting and assembly into finished garments.
  • Footwear manufacturing: production of shoes and boots requiring lasts, molding, and sole assembly processes that differ from garment cutting and sewing operations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 315210?
  • Solicitation includes tech packs, patterns, or size charts and requests production samples and full-size run schedules.
  • Performance requirements specify seam type, stitch density, thread tensile strength, fabric cut counts, and pass/fail inspection criteria.
