Chicago American Manufacturing LLC

Chicago American Manufacturing LLC, a for-profit manufacturer of metal casegoods, dormitory furnishings, and related furniture for military installations, operates as a prime contractor on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), competing in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside categories with no SBA certifications.

The company is headquartered at 4500 W 47th St, Chicago, Illinois 60632, and competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across its prime footprint—approximately 68% of recent awards carry this designation, with the remainder split between full-and-open and no set-aside categories. Chicago American Manufacturing is classified primarily under NAICS 321912 (Nonupholstered Wood Household Furniture Manufacturing), though metal casegoods dominate the work; PSC coding reflects Miscellaneous Furniture and Fixtures (200 awards), Household Furniture (19 awards), and Office Furniture (19 awards).

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM). Of 232 awards across the top five customers accounting for 88% of recent awards, the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Headquarters anchors the portfolio with 163 awards valued at $173.9 million combined potential value. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Support Center (23 awards, $29.7 million) and Engineering Support Center Huntsville (20 awards, $18.3 million) represent the next tier, followed by the Department of the Navy Installations Command (14 awards, $22.2 million) and the Department of the Army Indiana Army National Guard (12 awards, $1.6 million). Notably, a single GSA Federal Acquisition Service award for $42.1 million carries outsized dollar weight despite appearing as only one task order in the count—this likely reflects a large-value centralized furniture procurement for multiple locations.

Chicago American Manufacturing operates exclusively through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with 252 task orders valued at $260 million combined potential value. The vendor places no work through other parent vehicles, BPAs, or GWACs; the MAS is its sole contracting mechanism. Work is performed from the vendor's Chicago headquarters, with place of performance designations spanning domestic Army, Navy, and Air Force installations (Fort Liberty, Fort Campbell, Fort Jackson, Fort Sill, Fort Hood, Camp Lejeune, Schofield Barracks, West Point, and numerous others) as well as overseas locations (Wiesbaden, Ansbach, and Daegu, South Korea). All awards are delivery orders or purchase orders against the standing MAS contract; there are no IDVs or prime contract vehicles in the source data.

Representative work includes a $6.01 million Total Small Business delivery order (September 2025) from the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Support Center for metal casegoods procurement, delivery, installation, and removal across 11 buildings at Fort Drum, Tennessee; a $5.56 million Total Small Business delivery order (August 2025) from IMCOM Headquarters for metal casegoods across 15 buildings at Fort Bliss, Texas; a $4.99 million full-and-open delivery order (August 2024) from the Department of Labor for purchase, delivery, assembly, and installation of dormitory furniture at six Job Corps centers; and a $3.69 million Total Small Business delivery order (June 2022) from IMCOM for furnishings at three Fort Benning buildings. The vendor also executes smaller, targeted purchase orders for specific items—metal wardrobes, dressers, bunk beds, mattresses—often under $300 thousand.

Activity has been steady to declining. Awards per year tallied 36 (2022), 30 (2023), 29 (2024), 41 (2025), and 14 so far in 2026 (through mid-September). The most recent award, dated September 23, 2026, is a $1.06 million delivery order from Marine Corps Engineering and Support Center for metal casegoods at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. Combined potential value across the full portfolio is $311.2 million, with $263.8 million (85%) obligated. Forty-five awards with ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $49.3 million—a recompete cliff representing turnover of existing work.

Chicago American Manufacturing does not appear in the source data as a subcontractor; 100% of awards are prime. The vendor has no parent company, subsidiaries, or named teaming relationships recorded in the source. The company has held a GSA MAS contract since at least 2010 (per vendor background notes in individual award summaries) and continues to rely on that vehicle as its exclusive federal contracting pathway, serving military installations across Army, Navy, and Marine Corps with standardized furniture and casegoods procurement, typically under firm fixed-price terms.
