Black & Decker (U.s.) Inc.

Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., operating through its Black & Decker US Inc. Division and doing business as SWS Vidmarlista, manufactures and supplies industrial storage cabinets, workstations, modular storage systems, and specialized furniture to federal agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) competing predominantly in full-and-open procurement without set-aside designation. The company is a division of Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., headquartered in New Britain, Connecticut, with primary operations in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and competes across NAICS 32251 (Institutional Furniture Manufacturing), PSC 7105 (Cabinets, Lockers, Bins, And Shelving), and PSC 7110 (Office Furniture).

Black & Decker's federal footprint centers on GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) vehicles supplying Vidmar cabinets, Lista modular storage, workbenches, and tool boxes across defense and civilian agencies. The company holds a GSA Schedule contract (GS-03F-062GA) that anchors the majority of its task orders — 234 MAS delivery orders and purchase orders carry $5.8 million in combined potential value. Recent representative prime work includes a $392 thousand Maritime Administration order in August 2024 for initial Vidmar cabinet outfitting aboard the Cape Sable, Cape San Juan, and Cape Starr vessels; a $126.4 thousand Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center delivery order in April 2024 for Lista furniture at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, New Hampshire; a $97.3 thousand GSA Shared Services Center order in December 2023 for Vidmar preconfigured cabinets and workbenches; and a $574 thousand National Science Foundation definitive contract awarded in December 2022 for research on economically sustainable polypropylene recycled plastics enabled by compatibilizer additives, performed at the Allentown facility over three years. A $33.8 thousand US Marshals Service Special Operations Group purchase order in August 2023 carries a Total Small Business set-aside designation — the only set-aside visible across the recent prime portfolio.

Customer concentration is split between equipment volume and dollar value. By award count, the top five customers account for 48% of awards: the U.S. Coast Guard (75 awards, $1.3 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (73 awards, $1.1 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (32 awards, $81.6 million), Air Force (20 awards, $325 thousand), and Air National Guard (18 awards, $656 thousand). By potential value, the portfolio is heavily skewed — GSA Federal Acquisition Service alone anchors $81.6 million of the combined $97.2 million, representing 84% of all potential dollars, while Coast Guard and Navy combined contribute only $2.4 million despite placing 148 orders. The gap reflects the structure of the GSA MAS vehicle: frequent small task orders (cabinets, workbenches, and parts typically valued under $50 thousand) from Navy and Coast Guard maintenance operations, versus larger resupply orders flowing through GSA for federal agency programs.

Black & Decker places work under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (234 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract W9098S14D0050 (4 task orders, $1.6 million), Alliant II, and individual indefinite delivery contracts with Air Force contracting offices FA865016D5408 and FA865017D5650. The company's recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is modest — three awards totaling $454 thousand reach ultimate completion inside that window.

In its subcontractor role, Black & Decker delivers steel cabinets, workstations, and furniture components to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on CVN 80 aircraft carrier construction and DDG 51-class ship construction programs; provides cabinetry and casework to Mriglobal for the Portable High Throughput Integrated Laboratory Identification Systems (PHILIS) Platform Modernization; supplies Vidmar cabinets to Chugach Technical Solutions on USCG engineering services; and provides Lista cabinets and workstations to Lockheed Martin on USASOAC AC Services and related modification efforts. Additional sub work flows to Peraton Enterprise Solutions (DC3 TABO support), General Dynamics Information Technology (Global Security Engineering & Supply Chain Services), Asrc Federal Facilities Logistics (SACOM task orders), Syncom Space Services (cabinet supply), University of Dayton (COASTER engineering support), and Bluehalo (photonic and optoelectronic materials research). Across prime and sub work, the capability portfolio is homogeneous — industrial storage solutions, modular cabinetry, and specialized furniture, with no diversification into services, consulting, or IT.

Activity has remained stable across the past five years (24 awards in 2022 to 27 in 2025, with 6 in 2026 year-to-date), reflecting the routine, low-velocity nature of MAS-based equipment procurement. The source carries 452 total awards (prime and sub combined) spanning from September 2014 to September 2026, with $97.2 million in combined potential value and $14.6 million in obligated dollars (15% drawdown rate, typical of MAS vehicles with extended performance periods). The company serves 86 distinct customer agencies, but concentration sits with logistics and maintenance operations — Navy supply commands, Coast Guard facilities, Air Force logistics complexes, and Army materiel commands — rather than a narrow vertical or mission set.
