Mayer-Paetz, Inc.

Mayer-Paetz, Inc., doing business as Mayer-Paetz, Inc., supplies upholstery, panel, and seating fabrics to the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor operating under a total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contract valued at $13.4 million. The Indianapolis-based for-profit textile manufacturer competes almost entirely in the open market on individual delivery orders, despite holding a small-business-designated parent vehicle; the company is not designated as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other federal small-business category beyond the set-aside on the parent IDC itself.

Mayer-Paetz operates almost exclusively within the Bureau of Prisons ecosystem. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons accounts for 4,276 awards (approximately 40% of the vendor's total award footprint) valued at $25.8 million combined potential value, with the largest concentration at Federal Correctional Complex Coleman (847 awards, $13.4 million combined potential value). Secondary concentrations appear at Federal Correctional Institution Schuylkill (805 awards, $6.9 million), Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood (634 awards, $4.7 million), and Federal Correctional Institution Beckley (426 awards, $2.1 million). The vendor's top five customer entities account for 65% of recent awards; by dollar value, the top five account for 70% of combined potential value, with the BOP Central Office and FCC Coleman anchor the revenue base.

Work is performed at Mayer-Paetz's facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. Representative delivery orders span $10 thousand to $118 thousand in individual value and address furnishing and refurbishment across inmate housing units, common areas, administrative offices, and other spaces within federal correctional facilities nationwide. Recent awards include a $67.6 thousand delivery order to FCC Coleman in October 2025, a $48.8 thousand delivery order to FCC Coleman in June 2024, a $42.7 thousand delivery order to FCC Coleman in January 2025, and a $49.4 thousand delivery order to FCC Coleman in November 2023, all for upholstery and panel fabrics under firm fixed-price terms.

Mayer-Paetz holds three primary indefinite delivery contracts with the Bureau of Prisons. The largest vehicle is IDC 4600000207, valued at $13.8 million across 4,069 task orders, which is the core small-business set-aside contract running through March 2026. IDC 4600000092 supports 1,994 task orders valued at $20.9 million combined potential value, and IDC DJU4600004538 carries 1,346 task orders at $12.7 million. These vehicles fund the vast majority of the vendor's delivery orders.

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years—43 awards in 2022, rising to 62 in 2023, back to 43 in 2024, 52 in 2025, and 6 awards thus far in 2026—with only $54 thousand in combined potential value reaching completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor's award footprint spans three decades (first award in October 1993) but is heavily concentrated in the past five years. Nearly all work falls under NAICS 425840 (Broadwoven Fabric Mills) or 337122 (Upholstered Household Furniture Manufacturing), with PSC category 23000 (Household Furnishings) representing 9,030 of the 10,732 total awards in the source data. Mayer-Paetz operates as a 100% prime contractor with no identified subcontract work, supplying textiles directly to correctional facility operators under individual delivery orders issued against the parent BOP IDCs.
