About this vehicle
GSA Federal Acquisition Service established the Buildings and Building Materials schedule on August 15, 1995, with a last date to order of December 31, 2023—the vehicle is now closed to new orders and has been inactive for approximately two and one-half years.
The schedule contracts a broad range of building products and services across 76 subcategories, including warehouse equipment and supplies, air and water purification systems, maintenance and repair shop equipment, pre-engineered and prefabricated buildings and structures, above-ground storage tanks, building materials, power distribution equipment, generators and batteries, solar energy systems, and lighting products. Recent task orders show continued reliance on commodity buys—waste removal services, generators, UPS maintenance and batteries, pre-fabricated restrooms, LED lighting, and parts washers appear frequently in the awarded order flow.
The vehicle generated 10,000 task orders with a combined potential value of $2.81 billion, though obligated dollars exceed that ceiling at $2.89 billion. Order velocity declined sharply after 2021: nine orders in 2021, three in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, and two in 2025. The most recent task order was awarded October 1, 2025, indicating residual activity despite the closure.
Five primes dominate by order count—Steiner Industrial, Master Lock Company, The Claremont Sales Corp, R.M. Waite Co., and Frank Winne & Son—collectively holding 25,691 orders. By potential value, concentration is sharper: Williams Scotsman, CXT Inc., AAR Manufacturing, Automated Business Power, and American Material Handling hold roughly 17 percent of combined potential value. GSA Federal Acquisition Service placed the plurality of orders (18,367), with Army and Navy as the next major customers. Approximately 70 percent of orders carry no set-aside designation; small business orders represent about 20 percent.
Typical task-order values range from under $500 to low-six figures, with firm fixed pricing dominant. Notable larger awards include a $387,245 order for guard towers, a $296,315 order for towable generators, and a $261,023 extended warranty for germ-killing robots. Place of performance spans locations nationwide requiring the listed goods and services.
The schedule's life cycle has concluded; no new competitive entry is possible, and existing primes retain their incumbency only through residual task ordering.
