Florida's Government
Uniform & Safety
Footwear Supplier

Yes. Global Trading Inc. is an active GSA contract holder for safety footwear and uniform programs.

GTIM holds GSA Contract 847QSMS25D007H, which allows federal, state, and local government agencies to purchase safety footwear, uniforms, FR clothing, and related apparel directly through GSA Advantage without issuing a separate RFP or competitive bid. The contract covers ASTM-compliant safety footwear, work uniforms, FR clothing, embroidery services, and managed uniform programs. Agencies can access GTIM's full catalog directly on GSA Advantage at gsaadvantage.gov.

Yes. Global Trading Inc. is certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) as a HUBZone small business.

HUBZone certification means that government agencies with small business spending requirements or set-aside goals can satisfy those requirements by contracting with GTIM. Federal agencies are required to award at least 3% of prime contract dollars to HUBZone-certified businesses annually. Purchasing from GTIM through GSA or direct procurement helps agencies meet those mandates while receiving high-quality uniform and footwear products.

The GTIM Shoemobile is a fully equipped mobile safety footwear fitting unit that travels to government facilities and worksites across Florida.

Instead of requiring employees to visit a store, the Shoemobile brings the fitting experience on-site. A trained GTIM footwear specialist arrives at the agency location, professionally measures and fits each employee, and issues ASTM-compliant safety footwear on the spot. The program is particularly popular with:

• Transit authorities needing to outfit large numbers of operators efficiently
• Law enforcement agencies onboarding new recruit classes
• Utilities and municipalities with dispersed field workforces

The Shoemobile eliminates productivity loss associated with employee store visits and ensures every worker receives properly fitted, compliant footwear. Shoemobile events can be scheduled for any Florida location and are available to agencies purchasing through GSA or direct procurement.

Yes. Global Trading Inc. supplies both ASTM-compliant safety footwear and NFPA-compliant FR (flame-resistant) clothing to government agencies in Florida.

GTIM's safety footwear meets ASTM F2413 standards for impact resistance, compression resistance, and electrical hazard protection — required for law enforcement, transit workers, utility crews, and municipal employees in physically demanding roles. The company's FR clothing program covers NFPA 70E and NFPA 2112 compliant garments, including arc flash protection layering systems for electric utility workers. GTIM carries over 12,000 SKUs and can fulfill both standard stock orders and custom specification orders for large agency contracts.

Florida government agencies can purchase from Global Trading Inc. through multiple existing contract vehicles that eliminate the need for a separate competitive RFP.

The fastest procurement paths are:

• GSA Advantage — Purchase directly using GTIM's GSA Contract 847QSMS25D007H. Available to federal, state, and local agencies.
• Florida State Contract — Florida state agencies and municipalities can purchase under GTIM's active Florida state contract without issuing a new solicitation.
• HUBZone Set-Aside — Agencies using small business set-aside procurement can award to GTIM directly as an SBA HUBZone-certified vendor.
• Direct Purchase — For agencies not on GSA or state contracts, GTIM provides full compliance documentation, past performance records, and agency references to support direct procurement.

GTIM's procurement team can assist agencies in identifying the most appropriate and compliant purchasing pathway for their jurisdiction and budget requirements.

Yes. Global Trading Inc. designs and manages full uniform room programs for government agencies of all sizes in Florida.

Agencies benefit from reduced administrative burden, consistent uniform standards, and compliance with department specifications. GTIM has operated managed uniform programs for Florida law enforcement agencies, transit authorities, and public safety departments for over 30 years.
