Dorfman Museum Figures Inc.

Dorfman Museum Figures Inc., a Baltimore-based for-profit manufacturer of museum-quality mannequins, textile mounts, and custom display figures, operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal purchases with no set-aside posture across its award footprint. The company is a Subchapter S corporation that does not participate in any SBA programs and competes exclusively in unrestricted procurement channels, primarily against federal supply schedules and blanket purchase agreements.

Dorfman's federal customer base reflects a dual focus on military museum operations and civilian cultural institutions. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command anchors the dollar ranking, with 18 awards valued at $1.1 million in combined potential value, driven largely by a $700,000 blanket purchase agreement established in 2020 and running through 2025, under which Dorfman executes firm fixed-price calls for miscellaneous fabricated nonmetallic materials and mannequins supporting Air Force Museums Program operations at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and other installations nationwide. The Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command ranks second by potential value with 24 awards totaling $556 thousand, while the Department of the Army Headquarters Office of the Secretary contributes 3 awards valued at $384 thousand. The Smithsonian Institution, the largest customer by recent award count with 17 awards, carries $219 thousand in combined potential value for textile mounts, custom mannequins for exhibition rotations, and gallery support materials — including a $17,979 firm fixed-price purchase order in August 2025 for textile mounts for an exhibition. Top five customers account for 49% of all awards but only 35% of combined potential value, reflecting high-volume, low-dollar purchase-order activity with the military agencies and Smithsonian alongside occasional larger delivery orders. US Special Operations Command rounds out the named customer set with a $17,090 purchase order in September 2023 for mannequin heads for the JFK Special Warfare Museum at Fort Liberty, North Carolina.

Dorfman holds position on the Federal Supply Schedule GS02F0085S, under which 77 task orders carry $1.4 million in combined potential value, and maintains a newly renewed single-award BPA with Air Force Materiel Command (effective September 2025, ceiling $200,000, running through September 2030) alongside the expiring $700,000 BPA. Award volume has declined from seven in 2021 to one in 2024, with three awards posted in 2025, suggesting flat or contracting pipeline activity. The company's work is categorized across All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (104 awards), Other Professional Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (79 awards), and training aids and collectors' items (60 awards combined), reflecting the specialized and niche nature of museum-grade fabricated display components. Combined potential value across all 221 prime awards totals $7.1 million with $4.1 million obligated, indicating modest overall federal footprint concentrated in small purchase orders and calls against supply schedules rather than large single contracts.
