From public safety jackets and school sports gear to formal attire for staff, government agencies rely on uniforms to maintain brand, functionality, and compliance. These needs translate into a steady stream of local, state, and federal contract opportunities—many well within small business reach.
Uniform contracts are everywhere — schools, city councils, emergency services, and administrative departments all need attire for employees and programs. Unlike major infrastructure projects, many uniform solicitations are straightforward, fast-turn, and small-scale—making them a great fit for small businesses or first-time government contractors.
