About the company
GMI Companies, Inc., doing business as Ghent Manufacturing, is a for-profit manufacturer of visual communication and display products headquartered in Lebanon, Ohio. Registered in SAM.gov since May 2004, the company qualifies as a small business and specializes in providing whiteboards, magnetic glass boards, bulletin boards, and related visual communication tools to federal agencies. Ghent Manufacturing has established itself as a reliable supplier to the federal government through its General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, which serves as an indefinite delivery vehicle enabling various government organizations to procure its products efficiently.
Ghent Manufacturing's federal contract portfolio demonstrates consistent engagement with defense and civilian agencies through delivery orders and purchase orders issued against its GSA MAS contract, as well as direct purchase orders from specialized federal entities. The company has supplied an extensive range of visual communication products, including whiteboards of various configurations, magnetic glass boards in multiple sizes, enclosed vinyl bulletin boards, and reversible marker boards, to support operational, training, administrative, and communication functions across federal facilities. Primary funding agencies include the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), which has awarded the majority of delivery orders for whiteboards and magnetic boards to support Navy operations at facilities such as Port Hueneme, California and Crane, Indiana; the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), which has procured magnetic glass boards for the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in Vicksburg, Mississippi; the Army War College, which ordered partition whiteboards for its Carlisle Barracks facility; the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General, which received whiteboards valued at over $23,000; and the GSA Federal Acquisition Service, which has issued orders for various board configurations. Notable contract values include a $20,369.34 delivery order from the Chief of Naval Personnel for 4" x 10" white boards designated as a total small business set-aside, a $19,099.32 purchase order from ERDC for magnetic glass boards, and a $15,726.00 purchase order for 4x4 and 4x8 magnetic glass boards. The company has consistently received firm-fixed-price contracts without set-aside designations for most individual delivery orders, though its underlying GSA MAS contract carries a total small business set-aside designation with a $475,000 ceiling. No subcontractors or prime partnerships have been identified in these awards, indicating Ghent Manufacturing operates as the prime contractor fulfilling all obligations directly from its Lebanon, Ohio location.
