GMJ Distributors Inc.

GMJ Distributors Inc., doing business as Optical Dispensary, a small-business Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Antioch, Illinois, operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) providing optical dispensing services — eyeglass fitting, optical product procurement, and vision care support — to the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (VISN 12). The vendor competes under Total Small Business set-asides on its indefinite delivery contracts and in full-and-open delivery orders issued against those IDICs.

Customer concentration at VISN 12 is complete: 50 of 55 total awards ($12.9 million combined potential value) fund VA optical services across the Chicago metropolitan area, accounting for 91% of award count and 96% of combined potential value. The vendor holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with VISN 12 covering optical dispensing at Hines VA Hospital, Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, Adam Benjamin Community-Based Outpatient Clinic, and Joliet Community-Based Outpatient Clinic. The two most recent IDICs, awarded February 1 and April 1, 2026, carry ceilings of $1.309 million and $1.228 million respectively, both Total Small Business set-asides running through January 31, 2031 and March 31, 2031. Prior vehicles include IDICs with ceilings of $917,854 and $1.21 million awarded by the VA's Great Lakes Acquisition Center. Recent delivery order examples include a $242,500 base-year order awarded February 1, 2026, for Jesse Brown VAMC and community clinic services through January 31, 2027; a $227,500 Total Small Business order issued April 3, 2026, for Hines VA Hospital optical dispensing through March 31, 2027; and a $285,552 order dated August 1, 2024, for Jesse Brown VAMC covering August 2024 through January 2026.

Activity has remained flat at two awards per year through 2025, with four awards in 2026 to date. Only two awards ($470 thousand combined potential value) complete in the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete pressure. The vendor operates entirely through its own delivery and invoices at SCI-reportable rates (FY2023–FY2024) of median $11.66 per hour, ranging from $11.01 to $12.30 per hour, delivering approximately 6.4 to 7.4 FTEs to federal service contracts in that period. The vendor has held SAM.gov registration since February 4, 2005, and manages no subcontractor engagement on reported federal service work.
