Blanchard Industrial Supplies, Inc.

Blanchard Industrial Supplies, Inc., operating as Blanchard Industrial Supplies Inc., is a woman-owned small business based in Troy, New York, that supplies industrial abrasives, cutting tools, carbide tooling, coolants, machinery, and specialized metalworking consumables to the U.S. Army as a prime contractor exclusively. The vendor operates entirely under single-award and indefinite delivery blanket purchase agreements with TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, the Army Materiel Command's primary organization for ground combat equipment sustainment. Blanchard competes in both set-aside and full-and-open environments, with approximately 40 to 50 percent of task orders designated as total small business set-asides; the remaining awards flow through open competition without socioeconomic restrictions.

Blanchard's customer footprint is heavily concentrated with TACOM: 1,311 of its 1,344 recent federal awards (97% of all awards) and $13.9 million of its $14.2 million combined potential value flow to TACOM Life Cycle Management Command. The remaining customer agencies—the Department of the Army (19 awards, $103 thousand), the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (3 awards, $102 thousand), the Army's Acquisition Support Center for PEO Ground Combat Systems (3 awards, $42 thousand), and Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (5 awards, $8 thousand)—account for negligible volume relative to TACOM's dominance. This concentration reflects Blanchard's strategic role as a specialized supplier to a single large buyer rather than diversification across federal agencies.

Blanchard's primary contract vehicles are successive single-award blanket purchase agreements with TACOM. The active BPA (W911PT21A0007) is valued at $4.99 million with an ultimate completion date of July 4, 2026, and has generated 348 task orders worth $2.4 million in combined potential value. Three prior BPAs remain active: W911PT16A0007 (374 task orders, $1.7 million), W911PT11A0007 (388 task orders, $768 thousand), and two indefinite delivery contracts, W911PT06A0007 (166 task orders, $818 thousand) and W911PT04A0007 (49 task orders, $18 thousand). Each vehicle covers the same scope—abrasives, cutting tools, carbide products, coolants, machinery, and specialized tooling manufactured to engineering drawings—enabling TACOM to issue task orders on an as-needed basis. This BPA structure is Blanchard's entire contracting mechanism; the vendor holds no seats on government-wide acquisition contracts, GSA schedules, or agency IDIQs outside TACOM.

Representative task orders illustrate Blanchard's scope and price range. Recent awards include a $57,502.50 total-small-business set-aside order (July 2025) for Tennessee abrasive specialized honing stones; a $41,600 set-aside delivery (September 2025) of honing stones; a $22,763 total-small-business call (July 2025) for tip solid carbide end mills; a $19,366.40 set-aside order (July 2025) for SECO adapters and mills; and a $119,400 set-aside award (April 2025) for 1/2-inch grinding stones. Smaller recurring orders ($1,000–$10,000) cover inserts, reamers, drills, mills, countersinks, chip surfers, end mills, adapters, wrenches, shims, stones, and hand stamps. Task orders have ranged from under $150 to over $119,000 historically, with the majority falling in the $2,000–$15,000 band. Place of performance is exclusively Troy, New York; the vendor maintains no subordinate or satellite facilities.

Activity volume has remained broadly stable over five years: 59 awards in 2022, 63 in 2023, 76 in 2024 (peak), 65 in 2025, and 22 year-to-date in 2026 (covering only the first quarter). Total combined potential value is $14.2 million with $6.4 million obligated to date (45% realization). The vendor has maintained a federal contracting presence since 2001, with the source data capturing awards back to October 2003. The current BPA expires July 4, 2026, creating recompete exposure in the near term; renewal or successor vehicle award timing will be critical to sustaining the vendor's only significant contract revenue stream.

Blanchard Industrial Supplies is categorized as Cutting Tool and Machine Tool Accessory Manufacturing (NAICS, 1,335 awards) and competes under PSC codes for Cutting Tools for Machine Tools (629 awards), Machine Tool Accessories (170 awards), Disks and Stones, Abrasive (121 awards), Drill Bits (83 awards), and Taps, Dies, and Collets (45 awards). The vendor carries no subcontracting footprint in the source data; all 1,344 awards are prime contracts with no identified sub-awards, and the task-order structure under TACOM's BPAs does not include subcontractor breakouts. Blanchard's capability portfolio is narrow and deep: specialized inventory, rapid order fulfillment, and technical compliance with Army equipment specifications for precision metalworking consumables and abrasives, with over a century of industrial supply experience cited in contract narratives as a differentiator.
