Accent Designs LLC

Accent Designs LLC, doing business as American Blind & Shade, manufactures and installs window shades, blinds, draperies, and related window treatments for federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively — 100% of its 240 recent awards are prime deliveries against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Army. Accent Designs is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business (black American-owned) structured as a limited liability company and headquartered in Laurel, Maryland, with SAM registration dating to 2010. Approximately 60% of the vendor's contract portfolio carries small business set-aside designations, predominantly Total Small Business and Competitive awards across federal agencies.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on procurement, supply, and installation of window coverings — motorized shades, solar shades, blackout blinds, roller shades, vertical blinds, stage curtains, acoustic curtain systems, and custom draperies — along with field inspection, testing, repair, and maintenance services. Representative recent prime awards include a $309,396.53 delivery order from the Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District for window shades across Intelligence and Security Command facilities under MAS (February 2022), a $101,278.04 order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 for motorized solar shades through MAS (September 2023), a $89,276.75 delivery from Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 for Draper FlexShades at VA Boston facilities (September 2022), and a $250,000 single-award BPA with West Point Military Academy through March 2027 for annual inspection, testing, repair, and maintenance of manual and motorized window shades across campus facilities. Accent Designs also holds active GSA Schedule labor rates spanning 22 categories at $34.22 to $266.84 per hour, anchored by window treatment installation roles (Shade Installation Helper at $34.22/hr, Master Window Treatment Installer at $87.78/hr) through project-management positions; no security-cleared labor is offered.

Customer concentration is broad across federal agencies. The Department of the Air Force leads by award count (21 awards, $820 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Interior Department's Office of Acquisitions and Grants (14 awards, $435 thousand) and Air Education and Training Command (9 awards, $283 thousand). By potential-value ranking, the top tier includes the Air Force ($820 thousand), Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 ($445 thousand), and Interior Acquisitions and Grants ($435 thousand) — a spread that reflects the vendor's dominance of small, recurring facility maintenance and improvement work rather than concentration in a single high-dollar program. The top two customer types (Air Force and Veterans Affairs combined) account for roughly 10% of potential value across 27 awards, underscoring high fragmentation across 100 distinct federal customer organizations.

Accent Designs operates almost entirely through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which hosts 182 task orders valued at $6.8 million combined potential value. The vendor also places 11 orders under a secondary Furnishing and Floor Covering vehicle ($154 thousand). The single-award West Point BPA ($250,000, running through March 2027) anchors the recurring maintenance relationship within the defense footprint. Activity has remained steady to slightly declining — 12 awards in 2022, 16 in 2023, 17 in 2024, but only 8 in 2025 and 5 in 2026 year-to-date — a trajectory that may reflect seasonal procurement timing or competitive pressure on GSA Schedule call-order work. Only one award (the $98 thousand NOAA AOML roller shades delivery order dated September 2026, completing January 2027) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's combined potential value across all 240 awards is $14.2 million, with $9.2 million obligated (65% execution rate), indicating steady revenue flow through recurring MAS task orders and maintenance contracts rather than pursuit of large, single-award vehicles. Accent Designs competes exclusively full-and-open and under small business set-asides; no IDIQ, GWAC, or other governmentwide vehicle participation is documented beyond MAS.
