ACI Partners, Llc.

ACI Partners, LLC, operating as Award Crafters, manufactures and supplies recognition products, badges, signage, office supplies, and promotional items to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open delivery orders and purchase orders. The vendor is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, with no SBA set-aside designations across its prime footprint; all recent awards carry full-and-open competition status. Award Crafters operates across 91 awards under the primary NAICS category Commercial Printing and across 33 awards in the PSC code for Badges and Insignia, with secondary strength in metal coating and engraving services, signs and identification plates, jewelry, and office supplies.

Customer concentration is highly fragmented. The top five funding customers by award count — the National Institute of Standards and Technology (10 awards), the Government Accountability Office Acquisition Management office (7 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration (6 awards), the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (6 awards), and the Government Accountability Office Human Capital Office (5 awards) — represent only 21% of total awards. By potential value, however, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates at $4.7 million combined potential value across three awards, anchored by the vendor's position on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9904H, from which 94 task orders have issued at $1.1 million combined potential value. The GAO Acquisition Management office ($303 thousand across 7 awards), the Department of Agriculture Office of Administrative Services Procurement Management Branch ($290 thousand across 4 awards), NIST ($108 thousand across 10 awards), and the GAO Human Capital Office ($93 thousand across 5 awards) follow as secondary customers by dollar value. The divergence between count and value rankings reflects the vendor's high-volume, low-order-size model on the GSA schedule against broader but smaller-ticket agency engagements.

Recent representative work includes a $245 thousand single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Department of Agriculture Office of Administrative Services Procurement Management Branch awarded September 29, 2025, for badge encasements for retired or deceased federal employees with twenty or more years of service, with delivery orders at $19,716 (September 2025), $18,020 (May 2026), and $7,208 (July 2026). Award Crafters also supplies award plaques and recognition items to the Office of the Inspector General, including a $3,445 purchase order in December 2024 for CIGIE Awards Ceremony plaques and prior plaques work for GSA's OIG and Council of Inspectors General. Activity has declined modestly — two awards in 2021 to one in 2022, with only two awards recorded in 2026 — with minimal recompete exposure (one award, $7 thousand, reaching completion in the next twenty-four months). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint; all 165 awards in the source span prime delivery orders, purchase orders, and the GSA schedule indefinite-delivery vehicle.

Since 1964 Award Crafters has been designing, manufacturing and distributing Awards and Recognition Items to Local, State and Federal Government Agencies.
