ACE Uniform Services, Inc.

ACE Uniform Services, Inc., a Baltimore, Maryland-based small business Subchapter S Corporation, provides uniform rental, industrial laundering, and textile management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 299 awards. The vendor competes under a mixed posture—about 60% of recent awards are set aside as Total Small Business, while the remainder are full-and-open, unset-aside procurements. ACE holds no venture capital or equity designation beyond small-business status.

The company's federal footprint centers on industrial laundry and uniform rental services grounded in a single concrete capability: leasing, cleaning, repair, and delivery of work uniforms, protective equipment, shop rags, and facility textiles. Representative work includes a $584,194 definitive contract with the Department of the Army (Arlington National Cemetery) for uniform support to 89 personnel through March 2030; a $465,937 purchase order from the Marine Corps (Quantico) for shop rag laundry services through May 2028; a $312,008 contract with the National Institute of Standards and Technology for arc flash personal protective equipment rental and laundering at its Gaithersburg campus through March 2028; and a $251,784 purchase order from the USDA Agricultural Research Service (Beltsville Area Research Center) for uniform rentals and laundry services to approximately 220 employees through March 2029. Smaller recurring work includes dozens of BPA calls from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing ranging from $3,800 to $72,000 for industrial towel and shop cloth laundering.

Customer concentration is highly fragmented across defense and civilian agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 60% of awards but show divergent dollar concentration. By potential value, the Army Materiel Command leads with $11.4 million across 25 awards (primarily the $3.6 million Letterkenny Army Depot indefinite delivery contract), followed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing with $6 million across 99 awards (mostly small BPA calls), and the Defense Commissary Agency with $4.7 million across 28 awards. By award count, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing dominates with 99 awards but those generate smaller individual call values; the Defense Commissary Agency places 28 orders; and the Army Materiel Command, Navy Naval Air Systems Command, and Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command round out the active set. This distribution reflects a vendor relying on high-volume small orders (shop towel and uniform calls) alongside fewer large multi-year contracts.

ACE holds position on five named parent vehicles. The largest by task-order count is BPA TEPC1768103 with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (49 task orders, $469 thousand combined value), followed by BPA 2031ZA22A00052, also with the Bureau (23 task orders, $539 thousand combined value). The vendor's single largest IDV is the $3.6 million Indefinite Delivery Contract W911N216D0026 with the Army Materiel Command for Letterkenny Army Depot uniform rental and laundering services (11 task orders, $1.8 million combined value). Additional vehicles include a $305,298 five-year BPA with the NIH (awarded May 2025) for uniform rental and textile management, and a $1 million single-award BPA with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (awarded July 2022, running through June 2027) for industrial laundering of shop towels and drop cloths.

Activity has flattened in recent years—11 awards in 2022, 17 in 2023, then dropping to 8 in 2024 and 8 in 2025—with only 2 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Fourteen awards (combined potential value $2.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete. ACE competes in industrial laundry and textile rental (primary NAICS 812332), with secondary exposure in linen supply and drycleaning services. The vendor operates as a pure prime: all 299 awards are held as prime contractor; no subcontract activity appears in the source. Placement of performance typically occurs at customer sites (Washington DC facilities for the Bureau, Gaithersburg for NIST, Beltsville for USDA, Quantico for Marine Corps, Fort Belvoir for Army R&D, Letterkenny Army Depot for Army Materiel Command, and Patuxent River and Solomons for Navy commands), reflecting on-site laundry and uniform support operations. The vendor has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and brings over 40 years of industry experience.
