Atwork!

Atwork!, a non-profit AbilityOne agency headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, provides grounds maintenance, landscaping, janitorial, and specialized facility support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of awards), competing in full-and-open procurement without set-aside designations. Registered in SAM.gov since August 2001 and tax-exempt, Atwork! fulfills its mission to employ individuals with disabilities while delivering facility management services across a geographically concentrated portfolio anchored in the Pacific Northwest.

Atwork!'s customer base spans eight federal agencies, with concentration driven by two distinct ordering patterns. By award count, the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region leads with 35 small awards totaling $1.4 million in combined potential value, but by dollar magnitude, the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 dominates with 9 awards worth $8.4 million — a gap that reflects Atwork!'s larger VA contract vehicles versus smaller Army task orders. The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ranks second by dollars ($5.6 million across 18 awards) and the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard third ($2.7 million across 2 awards). These five customers account for 83% of awards and 94% of combined potential value.

Atwork! holds a $4.5 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (awarded September 2021, running through August 2026) for grounds maintenance at the Puget Sound VA Health Care System in Seattle, which has generated nine delivery orders ranging from $25 thousand to $900 thousand over recent years. At NOAA, Atwork! delivers grounds maintenance services in Seattle under multiple task orders, including a $1.46 million option-year modification (exercised February 2024, running through January 2029). The Coast Guard awarded a $1.51 million definitive contract (November 2023, through October 2028) for mess attendant services at Base Seattle. Atwork!'s delivery order portfolio under Army IDCs across W911S805D0023 (27 task orders, $333 thousand), W911S810D0028 (14 task orders, $478 thousand), and W911S815D0003 (2 task orders, $325 thousand) reflects smaller, recurring landscaping and grounds upkeep work at Army installations.

Activity has been volatile over recent years — three awards in 2021, declining to two in each of 2022 and 2023, with one recorded in the source through March 2026 — representing a flat-to-declining trend in new procurement volume despite a growing invoiced-revenue base. Only one award faces recompete in the next twenty-four months (potential value $901 thousand). Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, Atwork! invoiced $3.5 million in FYs 2022–2024 combined, with $2.2 million in FY2024 across 9.4 FTEs, up from 4.0 FTEs in FY2023. Government-paid hourly rates on federal service contracts show a median around $78.71/hr, with a spectrum from $51.47/hr (10th percentile, reflecting grounds and janitorial labor) to $1,449.45/hr (90th percentile, likely reflecting specialized or small-task pricing). Atwork! self-performs all contracted work with no subcontractors. The vendor's service footprint is concentrated in landscaping services (64 awards) and janitorial support (6 awards), with secondary work in packaging and labeling and vocational rehabilitation services, positioning it as a specialized operator in federal facility maintenance rather than a general contractor or team-builder.
