Formica Corporation

Formica Corporation, doing business as Formica Corp, manufactures and supplies laminate products, wood veneers, office seating raw materials, and related building materials to the federal government as a prime contractor competing in full-and-open competition with no SBA designations. The company operates from its manufacturing facility in Sharonville, Ohio, and has accumulated 2,351 prime awards across federal sources totaling $100.2 million in combined potential value, with $25.9 million obligated to date.

Formica's customer concentration is nearly monolithic: the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons accounts for approximately 74% of awards by count and over 90% of potential dollars. Within the Bureau of Prisons footprint, the Federal Correctional Complex Forrest City and Federal Correctional Institution Ashland are the active task-order placement sites, issuing dozens of small delivery orders for laminate, office seating raw materials, wood veneer, and lumber. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command represents a minor secondary customer with two awards totaling $6 thousand. The top-customer rankings diverge sharply: the Bureau of Prisons Central Office holds a single $9.2 million Indefinite Delivery Contract that dwarfs all other awards in potential value, while individual correctional facilities issue the bulk of task-order volume in sub-$35,000 increments.

Formica holds two primary vehicle positions. The dominant vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 4600000131, a multiple-award IDC issued by the Bureau of Prisons Central Office on June 3, 2024, with a $9.159 million ceiling extending through March 24, 2026 (now within recompete window). This vehicle has supported 2,086 task orders carrying $90 million in combined potential value, all drawn against laminate products, office seating raw materials, and lumber for correctional facilities in Florida, Kentucky, and Arkansas. A secondary Indefinite Delivery Contract (15UC0C24D00001106) has generated 44 task orders worth $797 thousand. Work is performed entirely at Sharonville and priced on firm-fixed-price and fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment bases. Recent representative orders include a $70,288 delivery order for office seating raw materials from Federal Correctional Complex Forrest City (October 3, 2024), a $31,432 laminate delivery from the same facility (September 5, 2024), and a $25,710 office seating materials order issued May 15, 2026.

Activity has accelerated sharply: two awards in 2021, four in 2023, twenty-seven in 2024, eighteen in 2025, and eight year-to-date in 2026, reflecting sustained demand from the Bureau of Prisons for replacement and maintenance supplies. The master IDC underlying this activity carries an expiration date of March 24, 2026, placing the full vehicle in recompete within the source's capture window. Formica's capability portfolio is narrow and specialized: the portfolio concentrates on Laminated Plastics Plate, Sheet Manufacturing (NAICS 326130, 2,085 awards), Office Furniture Manufacturing (50 awards), and Hardwood Veneer and Plywood Manufacturing (7 awards), with a PSC footprint anchored by Lumber and Related Basic Wood Materials (2,144 awards) and Plywood and Veneer (89 awards). Formica operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract awards recorded in the source data. The vendor competes in full-and-open competition without set-aside certifications across all awards.
