Columbia Industries

Columbia Industries, doing business as Columbia Ability Alliance, is an AbilityOne non-profit agency headquartered in Kennewick, Washington that manufactures medical textiles—primarily stockinette hoods for naval vessels—and delivers janitorial and facility maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The vendor operates exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its footprint, competing on merit against all bidders despite its AbilityOne status; the company maintains a subsidiary, CI Support LLC, certified as a small disadvantaged business, though that certification does not appear to anchor current work.

Columbia's customer base splits sharply between two federal anchors. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 10 dominates by potential value—26 awards worth $19.1 million combined, concentrated in a single $5.1 million indefinite-delivery contract (GS10P11LSD0023) for janitorial and related facility maintenance services at the Richland Federal Building in Washington running through March 31, 2027. The Naval Sea Systems Command leads by award count—111 awards worth $5.6 million combined—under recurring indefinite-delivery contracts for stockinette hood procurement, with individual delivery orders ranging from $9,350 to $54,000. GSA's dollar concentration masks the Navy's operational footprint: recent activity shows stockinette hoods (classified under PSC Clothing, Special Purpose, and NAICS Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors) represent 51 of 205 total awards, while janitorial services account for 39 awards under PSC Housekeeping—Custodial Janitorial. A fourth of the vendor's awards ($410 thousand across 17 orders) flow through the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (non-regional), with smaller exposure to the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Energy.

Columbia holds two prime indefinite-delivery contracts. The GSA Region 10 IDC (GS10P11LSD0023, ceiling $5.1 million, running through March 31, 2027) carries eight task orders valued at $2.2 million combined spanning snow removal, tree pruning, and grounds maintenance at the Richland Federal Building. The Naval Sea Systems Command Hood Stockinette IDIQ (SPMYM220D0003, ceiling $1 million, awarded April 13, 2026, running through April 14, 2031) replaced an earlier vehicle and carries 16 task orders worth $505 thousand combined for medical textile supply. Older NAVSEA vehicles (SPMYM215D0019, SPMYM212D0002, N0040605D5143) remain in the portfolio with residual task orders. Recent named work includes a $10,000 GSA snow removal order at the Richland Federal Building (October 1, 2026, completion May 19, 2027), a $36,920 Naval Sea Systems Command hood stockinette delivery order (July 8, 2026), and a $21,300 stockinette hood order under the Hood Stockinette IDIQ (June 16, 2026). Activity has grown modestly—five awards in 2022, six in 2023 and 2024, nine in 2026 year-to-date—with minimal recompete cliff exposure: only one award (valued at $10 thousand) reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months.

Columbia operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract portfolio across federal work, delivering stockinette hood manufacturing and facility maintenance services in-house from its Kennewick location. The vendor's AbilityOne mission—supporting employment for individuals with disabilities—is embedded in its corporate identity but does not factor into its federal pricing or award strategy, as all work competes under full-and-open, non-set-aside designations.
