Abrasive-Tool Company LLC

Abrasive-Tool Company LLC, operating as Gauss Sales Co., supplies industrial cutting tools, abrasive materials, and maintenance consumables to the U.S. Army as a prime contractor on a single-award blanket purchase agreement, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurement with approximately 40-50 percent of recent task orders designated as small business set-asides. The company is a small business headquartered in Rochester, New York, registered in the System for Award Management since April 2002, and operates with no identified subcontractors across its federal footprint.

Abrasive-Tool's customer base is heavily concentrated with the U.S. Army. The Department of the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC) accounts for 1,599 of 1,654 total awards (96% of volume) and $18.7 million of $19 million combined potential value (98% of dollars). The remaining 14 distinct customer agencies—including the Army Acquisition Support Center, Detroit Arsenal, the Air Force, and the U.S. Mint—together represent fewer than 60 awards and less than $300 thousand in potential value. This concentration reflects Abrasive-Tool's role as a dedicated supplier of commercial off-the-shelf industrial goods to Army depot and arsenal maintenance operations.

Abrasive-Tool operates exclusively under TACOM LCMC's blanket purchase agreement (BPA) vehicle structure. The active BPA, established July 5, 2021, carries a $4.999 million ceiling and runs through July 4, 2026. Task order volume across the top three parent BPAs totals 1,408 orders: BPA W911PT11A0001 (608 task orders, $1.9 million), BPA W911PT16A0001 (523 task orders, $3.3 million), and BPA W911PT21A0001 (277 task orders, $2.6 million). Individual call orders range from under one thousand dollars to approximately forty-six thousand dollars, reflecting the vendor's role in fulfilling episodic procurement requests for precision cutting tools, abrasive grain, carbide inserts, drill bits, metalworking fluids, electroclean solutions, personal protective equipment, specialized machinery, and facility maintenance supplies essential to Army ground systems sustainment across military depots and facilities.

Recent activity demonstrates consistent baseline volume. Awards per year over the past five years: 2022 (56), 2023 (55), 2024 (68), 2025 (49), 2026 (9 to date). Combined potential value is $19 million with $10.2 million obligated (54% execution). The vendor's work is performed entirely at its Rochester, New York facility; place of performance is consistent across all awards reviewed. NAICS concentration is heavily skewed toward Cutting Tool and Machine Tool Accessory Manufacturing (1,618 of 1,629 awards), with marginal volume in abrasive and hand tool categories. Product Service Code clustering aligns: Cutting Tools for Machine Tools (719 awards), Machine Tool Accessories (177), Drill Bits (116), Abrasive Disks and Stones (82), and Taps, Dies, and Collets (59).

The vendor faces a significant recompete exposure window. The parent BPA W911PT21A0001, which anchors 277 of the most recent task orders and $2.6 million in combined potential value, terminates July 4, 2026—approximately twelve months from the source snapshot date of July 15, 2026. Historical award ceilings of $4.999 million across the active BPA vehicle suggest the recompete opportunity will be material; however, no new BPA award to Abrasive-Tool is evident in the source data as of March 2026. The vendor competes for renewal under full-and-open procurement with small business set-aside parity, indicating competitive pressure from other small business suppliers capable of delivering similar industrial supplies and consumables to TACOM LCMC.
