Depaul Industries

Depaul Industries, doing business as Temporary Staffing, an AbilityOne-certified non-profit social enterprise headquartered in Portland, Oregon, manufactures and supplies combat knives, delivers fire watch safety personnel, and provides administrative support and janitorial services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across open competition with no socioeconomic set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime with zero subcontractor footprint, accomplishing all delivery through direct staffing. As a tax-exempt corporate entity and AbilityOne non-profit agency, Depaul specializes in employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and barriers to work.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Defense Logistics Agency and U.S. Coast Guard. The top five agencies account for 78% of award count and 79% of combined potential value: DLA Land and Maritime leads on dollars (194 awards, $66.1 million), the Army's Communications-Electronics Command anchors the second-largest dollar position (10 awards, $51.1 million), the Coast Guard dominates by volume (345 awards, $48.2 million), Naval Strategic Systems Programs (37 awards, $24.1 million), and Naval Supply Systems Command (40 awards, $17.1 million). The split signals a vendor whose revenue center is defense logistics and Navy operations, while Coast Guard fire watch generates the highest award count through numerous small delivery orders at Curtis Bay, Baltimore.

Depaul's capability portfolio centers on three concrete service and product lines. Fire watch safety personnel represent the largest by transaction volume—the vendor holds a single-award $8.64 million IDIQ with the Coast Guard (ultimate completion November 2026) that has generated 112 delivery orders supporting continuous safety monitoring and fire prevention at Curtis Bay shipyard across multiple cutters and vessels, with recent orders ranging from $2,191 to $614,766. Combat knife manufacturing and supply anchor the second capability: Depaul holds an $11.65 million single-award IDIQ with DLA Land and Maritime (through October 2028) that has generated 194 delivery orders with values spanning $695 to $482,752. Administrative support and janitorial services form the third pillar—Depaul holds an $8.7 million single-award IDIQ with Federal Highway Administration (through August 2028) for office administration, janitorial, and warehouse/mailroom services in Vancouver, Washington, with recent delivery orders valued between $299,447 and $525,849. The vendor also holds a $10.51 million contract with Naval Strategic Systems Programs for administrative support services at Silverdale, Washington (ultimate completion September 2027) and a $3.93 million Army CECOM contract for administrative support at Fort Huachuca (through February 2030).

The top five parent vehicles represent the vendor's primary delivery channels: Coast Guard IDIQ HSCG4015D60787 (112 task orders, $7 million), DLA Navy IDIQ N0040606D6000 (90 task orders, $5.6 million), DLA Navy IDIQ 70Z04019D61015Y00 (89 task orders, $4.9 million), DLA IDIQ SPM7LX13D0053 (85 task orders, $8.5 million), and Navy IDIQ N0040609D9009 (83 task orders, $9.9 million). All vehicles are single-award contracts with no set-aside applied, reflecting the vendor's capability to compete in full and open competition across federal buyers.

Award activity has remained moderate and consistent: 17 awards in 2022, 41 in 2023, 32 in 2024, 39 in 2025, and 21 through early October 2026. Eleven awards (combined potential value $12.2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. The vendor's work distribution by NAICS code reflects its dual focus on personnel services and manufacturing: Facilities Support Services (342 awards), Metal Kitchen Cookware, Utensil, Cutlery, and Flatware Manufacturing (185 awards), Temporary Help Services (168 awards), and Office Administrative Services (166 awards).

SCI-reportable invoicing across federal service contracts above $150,000 totaled $4.5 million from FY2022 through FY2025, with peak activity in FY2024 at $1.5 million across 19.9 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts run from a 10th percentile of $22.88/hr to a median of $37.60/hr, with senior positions pricing through $155.50/hr. The vendor reports zero sub-engagement across SCI-reportable prime contracts, confirming full internal delivery across the labor services captured in the SCI dataset.

Depaul Industries operates through one named subsidiary, Fort Rock Tactical LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of goods. The parent vendor maintains a $261.8 million combined potential value portfolio across 928 prime awards with $135 million in obligations (52% realization rate), serving 23 distinct federal agencies since 1999 without relying on small-business set-asides or socioeconomic designations. The contractor competes purely on merit and operational capability, leveraging its AbilityOne mission alignment to secure federal work across defense supply, Coast Guard operations, and civilian agency support services.
