DCI Inc.

DCI Inc., doing business as Design Contempo Inc., is a small business furniture manufacturer based in Lisbon, New Hampshire, that supplies dormitory case goods, office furnishings, and institutional seating to the Department of Defense and federal agencies as a prime contractor on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides—approximately 70 percent of prior prime awards carry that designation—and operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation without current SBA 8(a) or minority-ownership certifications.

DCI manufactures hardwood dormitory and facility furnishings for military installations domestically and internationally, with a cumulative federal contract footprint exceeding $35 million since initial registration in January 2002. The capability portfolio centers on beds, chests, wardrobes, desks, nightstands, and related bedroom case goods, as well as office seating, tables, and specialized items such as underbed storage drawers and fire department furnishings. Recent prime awards include a $4.8 million delivery order from the Engineering and Support Center (September 2025) for furnishings across 830 buildings at Naval Station Great Lakes under a total small business set-aside, a $1.29 million Air Combat Command delivery order (July 2025) for dormitory furniture at Mountain Home Air Force Base, a $2.31 million Navy Installations Command delivery order (September 2024) for furnishings at Naval Base Guam, and a $1.7 million Navy Region Southeast delivery order (September 2024) for multiple locations under total small business set-aside.

Customer concentration is anchored by federal acquisition and military real-estate management. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service leads by potential value at $370.2 million across 311 awards, but this reflects task order volume under the Multiple Award Schedule vehicle rather than a primary funding customer. Navy Installations Command follows with 280 awards valued at $83.8 million combined potential value, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville holds $54.8 million across 139 awards, the Marine Corps accounts for $41 million across 245 awards, and Army Installation Management Command Europe Region carries $23.6 million across 27 awards. These five account for 76 percent of combined potential value. DCI's award frequency has declined materially — 38 awards in 2022, 51 in 2023, 16 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 5 through May 2026 — reflecting either market consolidation or shift in customer procurement patterns. The recompete cliff ahead is modest: only $11 million in combined potential value faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

DCI places task orders almost exclusively through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule vehicle. The top parent schedule by task order count is Federal Supply Schedule GS27FL0003 (748 task orders, $1.6 million combined potential value), followed by Federal Supply Schedule GS27F0514H (615 task orders, $113.2 million combined potential value), Federal Supply Schedule GS27F2029B (437 task orders, $21.6 million combined potential value), and a catchall Multiple Award Schedule line (232 task orders, $96.7 million combined potential value). Place of performance is consistently Lisbon, New Hampshire or a subordinate manufacturing location (Lyman, New Hampshire), with delivery to military installations globally. Award records show the company also holds or has held blanket purchase agreements with the U.S. Air Forces in Europe–Air Forces Africa for folding wooden wardrobes and with Navy Installations Command for bachelor housing seating furniture.

In subcontractor capacity, DCI furnished furnishings and labor under repair and build-out contracts with prime I.e.-Pacific, Inc., performing barracks enlisted quarters (BEQ) repairs at Camp Pendleton, California, from 2022 through 2023. The subcontract scope was facility finish-out and furnishings installation supporting military housing renovation. DCI's sub footprint is minimal—40 sub awards account for only 2 percent of the vendor's 2,627-award portfolio—and sub work has been episodic rather than sustained.

The vendor's primary NAICS categories are Nonupholstered Wood Household Furniture Manufacturing (1,379 awards) and Upholstered Household Furniture Manufacturing (725 awards), with additional work in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction and Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing. PSC concentration mirrors this: Household Furniture accounts for 1,660 awards, Household Furnishings 330, and Cabinets, Lockers, Bins, and Shelving 311. In 2021, the company received a $2.86 million Department of Agriculture Forest Service grant to install a biomass cogeneration facility at its manufacturing plant, demonstrating federal interest in DCI's sustainability practices and renewable-energy positioning. The company is a fully integrated manufacturer, not a reseller, and sustains manufacturing operations in-house rather than through subcontract networks.
