Nightingale Corp

Nightingale Corp, a Canadian manufacturer of ergonomic office seating solutions headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, supplies office furniture raw materials and finished chairs to federal agencies as a prime contractor only, competing exclusively full-and-open (no SBA set-aside certifications) across 17,521 awards with a combined potential value of $466.6 million. The company manufactures unfinished components—foam, fabric, mechanisms, and other raw materials—as well as finished ergonomic task chairs under brand names including CXO models, serving Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) manufacturing operations and civilian defense agencies as both a manufacturer and component supplier.

Nightingale's customer concentration is extreme and heavily skewed toward the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons system, which accounts for approximately 75 percent of combined potential value across the top five customers by dollar share. The Bureau of Prisons Central Office anchors the portfolio with $125.9 million in potential value across 80 awards; Federal Correctional Institution Beckley carries $100 million across 940 awards; and Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood holds $49.9 million across 962 awards. These three Bureau of Prisons entities alone represent the majority of Nightingale's federal footprint. GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks fifth in dollar value at $20.2 million (6,095 task orders), reflecting Nightingale's position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule serving Department of Defense and civilian agencies at smaller order values. The Department of the Army ranks sixth with $2.6 million across 432 awards. The company serves 205 distinct agencies, but concentration is decisive: Bureau of Prisons work dominates by volume and dollars.

Nightingale holds five primary parent contract vehicles. A multi-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (FN1580-25) with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office, awarded March 10, 2026, carries a $41.2 million ceiling running through March 8, 2031, with 28 delivery orders totaling approximately $3.5 million already placed for office seating raw materials. Two legacy indefinite delivery contracts—IDC 4600000074 ($33.4 million ceiling, 2,466 task orders) and IDC DJU4600002352 ($57.8 million ceiling, 1,392 task orders)—both serve Bureau of Prisons furniture procurement. Nightingale holds a position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (6,153 task orders, $14.9 million combined potential value), through which Navy and Air Force offices issue small delivery orders for finished CXO ergonomic chairs. A fifth vehicle labeled "Furniture" carries 6,046 task orders with $7.3 million in combined potential value, representing routine orders across civilian and defense customers. The multiple award schedule work is characterized by small unit orders ($1,000–$8,000 per delivery order) issued by Naval Sea Systems Command, Air Force, and other defense components for specific chair models.

Nightingale operates as a vertically integrated manufacturer with no subcontracting footprint—the vendor holds zero sub-awards across all 17,521 federal awards. All work is performed from the company's manufacturing and distribution facility at 2323 Riverside Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The company does not compete for and hold no positions on defense prime contracts as a subcontractor; its defense revenue flows through GSA schedule and related small-order delivery vehicle work.

Activity has remained flat at 109–137 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with 77 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date through October. Invoiced revenue has substantially outpaced potential value on these awards ($520.2 million obligated against $466.6 million combined potential value, a 111 percent ratio), indicating that task orders and delivery orders are placing actual work well above ceiling estimates. Only one award with a completion date in the next twenty-four months carries material recompete exposure—a $398 thousand order scheduled for completion within the window.

Nightingale's award portfolio is nearly entirely composed of delivery orders and purchase orders issued against parent indefinite delivery contracts and the GSA schedule. The company's NAICS footprint concentrates in office furniture manufacturing: Office Furniture (except Wood) Manufacturing (NAICS 337211) accounts for 6,783 awards, and Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing (NAICS 337212) accounts for 6,237 awards. PSC coding reflects the same narrow scope—Office Furniture (PSC 7110) dominates with 15,159 awards; Household Furniture (7125) covers 2,318 awards, likely representing chairs and finished products sold through civilian GSA customers.

The solicitation for the 2026 Bureau of Prisons multi-award indefinite delivery contract (FN1580-25) required ANSI/BIFMA ergonomic standards compliance, ISO 9001 certification, and Greenguard environmental certification. Evaluation emphasized technical capabilities, past performance with UNICOR, training support, vertical integration, and pricing. The vendor's federal registration dates to at least March 2002; corporate structure shows Nightingale Corp as a parent for-profit entity with no named subsidiaries in the source. The company does not appear in any SBA certification database and competes exclusively in full-and-open competition across all 17,521 awards.
