The Supply Chain Exists — The Orders Don’t

U.S. textile manufacturers still have the capability to supply government demand — but procurement rules and trade policy often work against them.

In this episode, Tim Voit explains how Berry Amendment loopholes allow military bases to purchase imported textiles, even when a domestic supply chain exists. He also discusses how tariff volatility and global subsidies have reshaped export markets and forced manufacturers to constantly reconfigure supply chains.

The conversation explores the operational reality of running international textile sales while navigating trade policy, logistics disruptions, and the long-term survival of domestic manufacturing.
