Brodart Co

Brodart Co, operating through its McNaughton Book Service Division, supplies library book leasing, rotation, and subscription services to U.S. military installations as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under full-and-open and total small business set-aside designations with no subcontracting footprint. The company is a for-profit partnership headquartered in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, registered in SAM.gov since 2001, with a specialized focus on hardcover, paperback, audiobook, and DVD rotation programs tailored to Air Force base library operations.

Brodart's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in Air Force library services across multiple commands. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 47% of all awards, with the Department of the Air Force (121 awards, $3.4 million combined potential value) dominating, followed by the Department of State (97 awards, $255 thousand), Air Mobility Command (72 awards, $1.5 million), the Department of the Army (70 awards, $2 thousand), and Air Combat Command (45 awards, $1.4 million). The dollar ranking shifts slightly to emphasize Air Force major commands — Air Mobility Command and Air Combat Command each anchor $1.4 to $1.5 million in potential value, while AETC contributes $1.2 million across 25 awards. Brodart operates under five primary BPAs and Federal Supply Schedule vehicles: Blanket Purchase Agreements SAU90505A4094 (39 task orders), SAU90506A4102 (28 task orders), and SAQMPD07A0173 (12 task orders, $5 thousand combined potential value), Basic Ordering Agreement DLA40081D0011 (10 task orders), and Federal Supply Schedule GS02F6139A (7 task orders).

Recent work exemplifies Brodart's Air Force library mission. A $779,724 total small business set-aside purchase order from AETC, awarded May 2024, provided books in hardback, paperback, covered, and uncovered formats plus audiobooks to Department of the Air Force libraries worldwide. A $256,281.60 total small business set-aside contract from Air Mobility Command, awarded September 2023, delivered hardcover book rental services with a minimum of 60 titles monthly to two Joint Base Charleston libraries through September 2027. A $202,995 total small business set-aside contract with AETC, awarded October 2022, supplied library book rotation leasing across three Joint Base San Antonio locations (Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, Randolph) at 65 quota allowances per month per library. More recent 2025–2026 awards include a $67,095.60 Air Mobility Command contract for FY26 McNaughton Library Book Lease in Wichita, Kansas, a $37,211.10 Shaw Air Force Base book leasing program, and a $29,316 Laughlin Air Force Base contract, all firm fixed-price purchase orders with completion dates extending into 2030–2031.

Activity has contracted sharply in recent years — eight awards in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — a reflection of the long-term, multi-year nature of base library contracts. The combined potential value across all 854 awards in the source stands at $16.1 million, with $22.5 million already obligated (140% ratio indicating substantial past drawdown against award ceilings). Nine awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $899 thousand, indicating moderate recompete exposure in the near term. Brodart's capability portfolio concentrates on PSC Books and Pamphlets (473 awards) and Lease or Rental of Equipment—Books, Maps, and Other Publications (119 awards), with secondary exposure to book printing (77 awards) and book publishing (75 awards), reflecting both its leasing specialization and its role as a library materials wholesaler across federal facilities.
