About this vehicle
GSA Federal Acquisition Service awarded a Master GSA Schedule for hardware store products and related services on November 15, 1995; ordering closed December 28, 2025. The vehicle is no longer active and cannot support new acquisitions.
The schedule contracted household and office appliances, commercial coatings and adhesives, tools and tool kits, woodworking and metalworking machinery, lawn and garden equipment, and rental services for these product categories. Place of performance spans locations across the United States and overseas military bases.
Activity collapsed dramatically after 2020. The vehicle generated 171,872 orders in 2020, then declined to 5,622 in 2021 and only four orders in 2022, one in 2023, and one in 2024. The 10,000 total task orders awarded since inception in 1999 represent a legacy vehicle in terminal decline. Combined task-order obligated dollars of $3.56 billion exceeded the combined potential value of $3.31 billion, indicating some orders were valued above their ceiling or the portfolio matured beyond original estimates.
W.W. Grainger, Inc. dominates the prime contractor base, holding 304,219 orders and $710.6 million combined potential value. The next tier includes IDSC Holdings LLC (278,558 orders, $258.7 million), J & L America Inc. (227,006 orders, $138.5 million), MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. (175,210 orders, $446.7 million), and Noble Supply & Logistics, LLC (128,583 orders, $268.2 million). These five primes capture roughly 58 percent of combined potential value across 299 distinct contractors. Customer concentration is severe: GSA Federal Acquisition Service alone placed 664,817 orders valued at $758.3 million; the Marine Corps placed 284,990 orders at $467 million. The Army and its Materiel Command subordinates combined for 198,305 orders at approximately $304.7 million.
Nearly all awarded task orders carry no set-aside designation. Small business set-asides account for only about 0.35 percent of orders across all categories. Task orders range from single-digit dollar values to orders exceeding $192,000. Recent awards show typical values spanning dozens to thousands of dollars, with firm fixed pricing standard.
