Brand & Oppenheimer Co Inc.

Brand & Oppenheimer Co Inc., operating through its Ocean State Innovations Division, is a small business textile manufacturer competing predominantly full-and-open (no recurring set-aside posture) that supplies specialized fabrics and textile products to federal correctional, defense logistics, and military training customers as a prime contractor. Headquartered in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, the firm manufactures nylon fabrics, microfiber cloth, parachute materials, terry cloth, poly batting, and other Berry Amendment-compliant textile goods under primary NAICS 313310 (Textile and Fabric Finishing Mills) and related broadwoven and narrow fabric mills classifications, with performance primarily at its Portsmouth facility and subordinate locations at federal correctional complexes in Landfall, Minnesota and other Bureau of Prisons sites.

Ocean State Innovations dominates federal textile supply for correctional operations. The top five funding agencies account for 84% of recent awards by count and 93% by combined potential value, with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office anchoring the portfolio at 55 awards worth $12.7 million combined potential value — a concentration driven by multiple indefinite delivery contracts for gas mask carrier fabric, microfiber cloth, and poly batting supporting Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) operations. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division ranks second with 15 awards valued at $2.1 million, predominantly for parachute cloth, nylon denier, and duck cloth under purchase orders and delivery orders. Federal Correctional Institution Miami, Federal Correctional Complex Butner, and Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute collectively account for $4.1 million across 37 awards for labels, textile components, and fabric supporting UNICOR programs.

The vendor holds five named indefinite delivery contracts with combined ceiling values exceeding $5.9 million. The largest is a $1.493 million Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons single-award IDC for poly terry microfiber cloth with soil release finish (Contract 15UC0C23D00001511), with seven delivery orders issued through May 2027. A $1.648 million total small business set-aside single-award IDC (awarded March 2026) procures polyester woven fabric for Marine Trunks manufacturing at Federal Correctional Complex Butner through March 2027. A $1.049 million single-award IDC supports JROTC fabric procurement (awarded November 2025, completing November 2026). The Defense Logistics Agency FAB0885DB materials contract carries a ceiling of $648,480 (increased from $224,000 in August 2025) with seven delivery orders ranging from $11,760 to $156,800 through February 2027. A $781,200 total small business set-aside Bureau of Prisons IDC for gas mask carrier fabric (awarded May 2024, extending through May 2026) anchors recurring UNICOR supply. Representative delivery order activity includes a $309,600 total small business set-aside order from Federal Correctional Complex Butner for labels (April 2026, completing September 2026), a $384,800 total small business set-aside Defense Logistics Agency purchase order for 65,000 yards of parachute cloth (April 2026, completing October 2026), and a $247,450 total small business set-aside Defense Logistics Agency purchase order for 49,000 yards of parachute cloth (April 2025, completing October 2025).

Awards have grown substantially year over year, from seven in 2022 to 21 in 2024 and 26 in 2025, with 18 awards recorded in 2026 to date. Combined potential value stands at $20.2 million across 170 prime awards with $15 million obligated (74% of ceiling). Five awards totaling $968 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. Activity is concentrated in textile products (164 awards under PSC 8305 for textile fabrics), with 68 awards under broadwoven fabric mills, 31 under narrow fabric mills, 27 under textile and fabric finishing mills, and 16 under knit fabric mills, reflecting a manufacturing portfolio tightly aligned with federal textile specifications for military parachutes, correctional facility clothing and textiles, and institutional applications. The vendor has maintained federal contracting status since at least 2000, demonstrating sustained capability in meeting federal textile standards and Berry Amendment compliance across two decades.
