Who buys NAICS 315250 (Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing (except Contractors)) work, who wins it, and what's open right now — from FY2026 USAspending awards and live SAM.gov solicitations.
Contract data as of Oct 18, 2026 (USAspending) · recent coverage verified weekly
| Quarter | Awards | Obligated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY2026 | 608 | $37.4M | — |
| Q2 FY2026 | 730 | $35.9M | -4% |
| Q3 FY2026 | 326 | $3.0M | -92% |
| Q4 FY2026 · partial | 108 | $8.4M | +177% |
Federal fiscal quarters (Q1 = Oct–Dec). Awards are counted in the quarter they start; obligations are the award's obligated amount. The Department of Defense publishes contract awards to USAspending with a 90-day delay, so Q4 FY2026 is still missing most DoD awards (DoD is 97% of this market's dollars) — treat that quarter as incomplete, not as a spending decline.
