Dodge-Chrome, Inc.

Dodge-Chrome, Inc., doing business as Dodgechrome Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Silver Spring, Maryland, provides graphic arts, design, photography, signage, and visual communication services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 103 awards spanning arts, framing, wall murals, exhibit fabrication, and installation work. The vendor competes full-and-open without set-aside reliance, though one woman-owned small business set-aside designation appears in the award history; the company's SBA certifications are not detailed in the source beyond woman-owned status.

Dodge-Chrome's customer concentration centers on two distinct bureaus within the federal government. By award count, the Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations dominates with 43 purchase orders (combined potential value $352 thousand) for arts, drawings, frames, and related visual communication products supporting international embassies worldwide. By dollar value, the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations leads with 7 awards (combined potential value $10.1 million), anchored by a $10 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement running through September 2026. The Smithsonian Institution has placed 10 awards ($247 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Interior National Park Service 7 awards ($1.3 million), and the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director 11 awards ($184 thousand). These five customers account for 76 percent of recent award count and 97 percent of combined potential value. The gap between volume and value is stark: State's frequent small purchase orders contrast sharply with NIH's single large vehicle. Representative prime work includes a $10.1 million NIH BPA for graphic arts, photography, audiovisual, and signage services (September 2021 through September 2026); a $55,087 Smithsonian Institution purchase order for sign printing for the 2022 Folklife Festival; a $45,585 Smithsonian back-lit graphics order (August 2025); a $43,671 NASA Shared Services Center purchase order for three 360-by-110 wall murals at the NIH NIAMS facility (May 2024, sole-source); and recurring small-dollar State Department orders for arts and frames for embassy facilities (typically $1,000 to $5,000 per order).

Activity has remained steady over the past five years (ranging from 9 to 12 awards annually from 2022 through 2025, with 1 award in early 2026), with combined potential value across all 103 awards totaling $12.5 million and only $1.1 million obligated to date (9 percent realization rate). The recompete cliff is negligible: only one award completing in the next twenty-four months carries a potential value of $2 thousand. Dodge-Chrome holds a single parent vehicle of scale — the $10 million NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations Blanket Purchase Agreement with 6 task orders ($75 thousand combined potential value) — alongside smaller BPAs with NIH, State Department, and World Health Organization entities. Primary NAICS coding reflects the vendor's service portfolio: Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers (27 awards), Commercial Printing Except Screen and Books (22 awards), Graphic Design Services (15 awards), Digital Printing (6 awards), and Sign Manufacturing (6 awards). PSC coding is dominated by Photo/Map/Print/Publication—Arts/Graphics (51 awards), with secondary categories in Office Furniture (12 awards) and Support—Professional—Other (6 awards).

Dodge-Chrome operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
