Calidad Industries, Inc.

Calidad Industries, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and registered AbilityOne agency, delivers custodial, food service, facilities maintenance, and base operations support to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with zero subcontract activity. The vendor is a division of Goodwill Industries of the Greater East Bay, Inc., and operates exclusively through open competition with no set-aside designations, despite its AbilityOne Non Profit Agency status.

Calidad's customer base concentrates heavily in defense and federal facility operations. The top five funding agencies account for 74% of recent awards. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region leads by dollar volume (10 awards, $62.7 million combined potential value), anchored by a $22.5 million single-award indefinite delivery contract for public works and base operations support at Army installations in Dublin and Alameda, California, running through September 2026. The U.S. Coast Guard (Department of Homeland Security) places the highest award count (59 awards, $43.8 million combined potential value), driven by recurring food service and mess attendant contracts at USCG Base Alameda. The General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service Region 9 holds 15 awards worth $43.2 million, predominantly for custodial and related services at the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building in Oakland, California under a $12.8 million single-award indefinite delivery contract running through January 2029. The Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command contributes 9 awards worth $21.5 million. Calidad holds additional federal customer relationships with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Internal Revenue Service, the Defense Commissary Agency, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and several other civilian and defense agencies.

Capability portfolio centers on three recurring service lines. Food service work includes full galley operations, mess attendant services, and cafeteria support across Coast Guard and Army installations. Facilities maintenance and custodial operations encompass carpet cleaning, graffiti and ghosting removal, floor care, and building exterior cleaning at federal office buildings and military installations. Base operations support includes logistics readiness center operations, warehouse management, facilities maintenance coordination, and general operations support at Army installations in Northern California. Representative prime awards include a $3.71 million delivery order from the Department of the Army Southwest Region for BASOPS services in Dublin (awarded September 2025 for twelve-month execution), a $7.55 million definitive contract from the Coast Guard for mess attendant services at USCG Base Alameda (awarded March 2024 through February 2029), and a $12.8 million indefinite delivery contract from GSA Region 9 for custodial and related services at the Ronald Dellums Federal Building (awarded July 2024 through January 2029).

Activity has declined in recent years—three awards in 2022, eleven in 2023, seven in 2024, five in 2025, and two through April 2026. Three awards with combined potential value of $4.5 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore expose recompete risk. The vendor operates under five named indefinite delivery contract vehicles: the $22.5 million Army Southwest Region public works and BASOPS IDC (14 task orders under it), the $12.8 million GSA Region 9 custodial IDC (3 task orders), the Coast Guard's $858 thousand single-award IDC for Alameda food services (closed in September 2023), and two legacy Coast Guard food service IDCs carrying minimal recent activity. Calidad holds 100% of its awards as prime; it does not subcontract and has zero sub-award footprint across its federal portfolio.

Service Contract Inventory data reflects partial federal service activity above the $150,000 reporting threshold: $1.5 million in invoiced SCI-reportable revenue across FY2023 alone, delivered by 13 federal government-paid FTEs that year. SCI captures only a bounded subset of Calidad's federal service contracts and excludes all goods, products, micro-purchases, and non-federal revenue. Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts run around $54.10 per hour, with rates spanning from roughly $51 per hour at the 10th percentile to $57 per hour at the 90th percentile, reflecting the custodial and food service labor categories that dominate the contract portfolio. Calidad delivers no subcontract labor and maintains no named subcontractor relationships.

The vendor's footprint is geographically concentrated in Northern California (Alameda and Dublin), with facilities-based service delivery at specific federal installations and buildings rather than nationwide or regional deployment. All recent prime awards carry firm fixed-price structures and no set-aside designations, positioning Calidad as a full-and-open competitor despite its AbilityOne Non Profit Agency certification. The vendor's sustained relationships with Coast Guard food service operations and Army base operations support, coupled with its growing GSA custodial contract vehicle, indicate established capability and customer confidence in routine facilities and operations support delivery.
