August Packaging Inc.

August Packaging Inc., a for-profit Missouri-based packaging manufacturer, supplies plastic bags, textile bags, kraft paper, plastic film wrap, shipping sacks, and related packaging materials to federal agencies as a prime contractor through GSA's Federal Acquisition Service and direct buys from military customers. The company competes full-and-open, with no set-aside designations across its entire footprint.

August Packaging Inc. operates almost exclusively through purchase orders placed against a blanket purchase agreement with GSA Federal Acquisition Service (BPA GS02F13364), which accounts for 3,595 task orders and $142 thousand in combined potential value. The GSA vehicle dominates the portfolio: GSA Federal Acquisition Service customers account for 1,871 of the company's 5,694 total awards and $739 thousand of the $977 thousand combined potential value—75% concentration by dollars. The top five customer agencies (GSA FAS, Department of the Army, United States Marine Corps, Department of the Navy Pacific Fleet Forces, and Army Materiel Command TACOM) account for 64% of all awards. Recent task orders under the GSA BPA include plastic bags ($139), plastic bags ($39), plastic sheets ($99), plastic bags ($458), plastic bags ($59), textile bags ($77), and an easy chair valued at $11,020.92 in February 2026.

The portfolio reflects a narrow, commoditized product specialization. The top NAICS category is All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing (5,444 awards), followed distantly by Plastics Bag and Pouch Manufacturing (101 awards) and Plastics Packaging Film and Sheet Manufacturing (60 awards). By PSC, Packaging and Packing Bulk Materials (3,915 awards) and Bags and Sacks (1,764 awards) together represent nearly all work. Individual task order ceilings are typically under $1,000, with notable exceptions including a $11,020.92 easy-chair order and several multi-thousand-dollar textile-bag and plastic-film orders. The company registered with the federal government in 2001 and has sustained high transaction volume across three decades: 319 awards annually in 2022–2023, declining to 221 in 2024 and 41 in 2025, with only 12 awards recorded in early 2026. This sharp recent decline signals possible recompete pressure or customer consolidation. The combined dollars obligated ($2.2 million) exceed the combined potential value ($977 thousand) by 225%, indicating frequent small-value task orders and invoicing patterns that exceed published ceilings.

August Packaging Inc. holds no subcontract relationships across the sourced award data and functions entirely as a prime vendor. The company operates as a high-volume, low-dollar commodity supplier to federal logistics and field operations, with GSA as the dominant distribution channel and defense agencies (Army, Navy, Marine Corps) as secondary direct customers.
