T.w. Evans Cordage CO. Inc.

T.w. Evans Cordage CO. Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Cranston, Rhode Island, supplies fibrous and synthetic rope, cordage, twine, chain assemblies, duct tape, and nylon braided cord to federal agencies as a full-and-open prime contractor with no SBA set-aside certifications. The vendor competes predominantly through GSA's Federal Acquisition Service under blanket purchase agreements and the Multiple Award Schedule, receiving purchase orders for small-dollar, high-volume commodity supplies to military and civilian logistics agencies.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service accounts for 6,228 awards (75% of the total prime footprint) and $11.1 million of the $14.8 million combined potential value across all awards. The remaining top-four customers by dollar value are all defense logistics entities: Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (129 awards, $1.7 million), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (31 awards, $1.4 million), the Department of the Navy Pacific Fleet Forces (76 awards, $43 thousand), and the Department of the Army (238 awards, $2 thousand). GSA's dominance reflects T.w. Evans' position on multiple blanket purchase agreements housing cordage and allied products: Blanket Purchase Agreement 47QSWA21T000T (5,782 task orders, $3.1 million combined potential value), BPA GS07FQEVAN (1,584 task orders), BPA GS07FBTWEV (207 task orders, $9 thousand), and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (36 task orders, $308 thousand). The single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, awarded July 21, 2025, with a $250,000 ceiling, supplies telephone cable (National Stock Number 6145009235787) to military depots across continental and overseas locations; to date, the vendor has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders totaling $9,465.

Award volume has declined measurably. The vendor received 1,241 awards in 2022, declining to 792 in 2026 year-to-date—a 36 percent drop across the trailing five years. Obligated dollars stand at $6.2 million (42 percent of combined potential value), indicating that roughly half of all ceiling authority remains unspent. Within the next twenty-four months, twenty awards carrying combined potential value of $15 thousand are scheduled for completion, exposing minimal near-term recompete exposure.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on natural and synthetic fiber products. Representative recent work includes fibrous rope, nylon braided camouflage-green cord (MIL-C-5040H specification), chain assemblies (single-leg and multi-leg configurations), fibrous twine and cord, polypropylene rope per Cordage Institute standards, duct tape (1.875 inches wide, 35 yards, black), and manila fiber rope. Orders are consistently firm fixed price, issued as purchase orders with completion windows ranging from one week to six months. Most awards fall into the $33 to $6,834 range per order, with occasional orders reaching five-figure ceilings. Top NAICS categories reflect the cordage specialization: Rope, Cordage, Twine, Tire Cord, and Tire Fabric Mills account for 6,002 awards; Plastics Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing for 1,628 awards; and Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing for 319 awards. The Federal Procurement Code Fiber Rope, Cordage, and Twine accounts for 6,281 of 8,238 total awards.

T.w. Evans is a pure-play cordage and rope vendor with no subcontract footprint, competing exclusively as a prime supplier through full-and-open GSA vehicles. The vendor's customer concentration and award volume trajectory signal reliance on a single, high-volume but commoditized contracting channel facing volume headwinds.
