Knable General Contracting Services LLC

Knable General Contracting Services LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business operating as a sole proprietorship from Powhatan, Virginia, sells vertical platform lifts, stairlifts, curved stairglides, and related accessibility equipment to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor on 100% firm fixed-price purchase orders across Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VISN 6), which covers Virginia. The vendor competes in full-and-open federal procurement without set-aside designations on nearly all awards; a single award in October 2023 carried a Total Small Business set-aside, but this is atypical of the portfolio. Knable's business footprint is highly concentrated: all 135 prime awards in the source data flow from a single customer — VA VHA VISN 6 — with zero subcontractor activity and a combined potential value of $3.1 million obligated across roughly five years of activity. Place of performance is consistently Powhatan or Richmond, Virginia, at VA medical facilities operated by VISN 6.

Knable's commodity focus is surgical appliances and supplies manufacturing (NAICS 339113) under Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (PSC 6515). Representative work includes a $93,164.75 purchase order in March 2025 for vertical platform lifts and stairlifts; a $81,997.50 order in November 2024 for stairglides and vertical platform lifts; a $71,623 contract in August 2023 for vertical platform lifts and construction/renovation equipment (CRE); and multiple smaller orders ranging from $3,112 to $62,038 for individual lift installations. This portfolio is entirely driven by VA accessibility and patient mobility requirements — the vendor does not appear to serve other federal customers or compete in civilian markets based on the source footprint.

Activity has grown from 19 awards in 2022 to a peak of 34 in 2024, then declined to 18 in 2025 and 11 in 2026 year-to-date, suggesting either slowing VISN 6 purchasing demand or a potential shift in customer procuring behavior. Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $77 thousand and face recompete in that window. The lack of any stated parent contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs indicates that Knable operates under direct purchase-order relationships with VISN 6 procurement, not through intermediary vehicles or task-order positions. The company has no documented teaming relationships or subcontract dependencies in the source data — it is a pure prime, single-customer vendor serving a specialized, repetitive accessibility-equipment procurement stream within one regional VA network.
