About the company
Chris Costello, a sole proprietor design studio based in Arlington, Massachusetts, provides artistic design services for U.S. Mint circulating coins, commemorative programs, and medals as a prime contractor under full-and-open, non-set-aside procurement.
Costello operates exclusively within a single customer relationship with the Department of the Treasury's United States Mint, holding 87 awards (100% of activity) valued at $2.1 million in combined potential. The vendor's work concentrates in two NAICS categories: Graphic Design Services (67 awards) and Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers (20 awards), with corresponding PSC codes for collectors' and historical items and photo/map/print/publication arts and graphics. All awards are non-set-aside competitive procurements, and Costello operates as a prime contractor only — no subcontract activity appears in recent records.
Costello's primary vehicle is the Artistic Infusion Program (AIP), an IDIQ that accounts for 64 task orders carrying $281 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor also holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract (2031JG19D00027) awarded in 2019 with a $330 thousand ceiling through December 2025, and a newer single-award indefinite-delivery contract (2031JG26D00015) awarded July 15, 2026, with a $640 thousand ceiling through December 31, 2027. Representative recent work includes a $6 thousand delivery order for Army Rangers Veterans of WWII Congressional Gold Medal artistic design (December 2022), a $6 thousand 2024 Harriet Tubman Commemorative Coin Program design order (October 2022), and a $3 thousand delivery order for 2028 youth sports quarter reverses, including youth lacrosse quarter reverse design (July 2026). All delivery orders carry firm fixed-price structures.
Activity has been episodic rather than steady: seven awards in 2019, five in 2020, declining to three in 2021 and four in 2022, then no recorded awards until two awards in 2026. Only one award is scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months ($3 thousand potential value), with the majority of Costello's current ceiling capacity running through December 2027. Obligated dollars total $394 thousand against $2.1 million combined potential, reflecting a 19% obligation rate. The narrow customer concentration and specialized numismatic design focus position Costello as a highly specialized vendor whose federal revenue stream is entirely dependent on the Mint's annual commemorative and circulation coin design procurement strategy.
