Caperton Furnitureworks

Caperton Furnitureworks, doing business as Gatcreek, is a for-profit limited liability company based in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia that manufactures and supplies furniture and home furnishings to the U.S. Department of State as a prime contractor on full-and-open (non-set-aside) purchase orders. The company competes exclusively in the open federal marketplace with no SBA designations.

Caperton's federal footprint is dominated by a single customer: the Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (OBO) accounts for 147 of 155 total awards (99% of awards and combined potential value of $2.7 million). The vendor delivers furniture, rugs, fabrics, and related home furnishings to outfit U.S. embassies, consulates, and staff housing at diplomatic facilities worldwide. Representative recent contracts include a $39,391 purchase order awarded May 8, 2026 for furniture delivery to overseas diplomatic facilities; a $36,156 purchase order from July 26, 2024 for embassy and consulate furnishings; and a $53,881 purchase order from September 8, 2023 for State Department facilities abroad. All awards are priced firm fixed-price with place of performance at Caperton's Berkeley Springs manufacturing facility. The vendor holds no position on federal IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs and operates as a 100% prime contractor with no identified subcontract footprint.

Caperton's award activity peaked in 2023 with 29 OBO purchase orders, declining to 15 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 8 through September 2026. The vendor faces a modest recompete cliff with five awards totaling $103 thousand in combined potential value completing within the next twenty-four months. Individual purchase orders range from $1,538 to $53,881, with most clustering between $10 thousand and $40 thousand. The combined potential value across 155 awards is $2.7 million, though obligated amounts total $3.5 million—a signal of consistent payment and modest growth in realized revenue relative to booking value.

Beyond federal contracting, Caperton received a $362,630 project grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) in July 2023, with completion scheduled for July 2025. The grant funds energy efficiency improvements at the company's manufacturing operations in West Virginia.

Caperton's NAICS profile reflects its product mix: 77 awards under Nonupholstered Wood Household Furniture Manufacturing (NAICS 337122), 53 under Office Furniture Manufacturing (NAICS 337214), and nine under Upholstered Household Furniture Manufacturing (NAICS 337121). PSC coding aligns closely, with 88 awards coded to Household Furniture and 54 to Office Furniture.
