Knable General Contracting Services LLC

Knable General Contracting Services LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Powhatan, Virginia, procures and installs vertical platform lifts, stairlifts, curved stairlifts, stairglides, custom lifts, visual privacy products, and minor construction services for the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor operating exclusively in full-and-open competition without set-aside designations.

Knable is a sole proprietorship and limited liability company that operates as a pure-play accessibility equipment vendor to a single federal customer. The company holds a self-certified small disadvantaged business designation and competes across all 131 awards in its portfolio as an unrestricted prime contractor — every purchase order has been awarded with no set-aside designation, reflecting sustained competitive success against large and small bidders alike. NAICS 621910 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies) account for 131 and 130 awards respectively.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VA-VHA VISN 6), which serves Virginia, accounts for 131 awards (100% of the portfolio) with a combined potential value of $3 million. There are no other federal customers in the source data. VISN 6 has issued purchase orders to Knable continuously since at least February 2021, with the portfolio spanning vertical platform lifts, straight and curved stairlifts, stairglides, custom lift assemblies, ceiling lifts, ramps, and construction/renovation services (visual privacy products, minor facility improvements) at VA medical facilities across Virginia.

Recent representative work includes a $58,869 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded April 6, 2026 for ceiling lift vertical platform lift procurement and installation; a $93,165 purchase order awarded March 20, 2025 for vertical platform lifts and stairlifts; a $81,998 purchase order awarded November 20, 2024 for stairglides and vertical platform lifts; and a $71,623 purchase order awarded August 8, 2023 for vertical platform lifts and construction/renovation services. All work is performed at VA facilities in Powhatan, Richmond, and other VISN 6 locations in Virginia.

Activity has grown from 19 awards in 2022 to a peak of 34 in 2024, then declined to 18 in 2025 and 7 year-to-date in 2026. Knable has no sub-award footprint and does not subcontract to other vendors; it operates as a pure prime contractor. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $59 thousand — minimal recompete exposure. The entire award portfolio consists of purchase orders ranging from approximately $3,112 to $93,165, with typical awards in the $12,000 to $60,000 range, all firm fixed-price contracts with short performance periods (thirty to ninety days typical). Knable holds no parent contract vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, BPAs); every award is a standalone purchase order issued directly by VISN 6.
