Plae Vertical Inc.

Plae Vertical Inc., a small business Subchapter S corporation based in Canton, Georgia, manufactures and installs athletic flooring systems, modular turf tiles, and gym flooring to federal agencies as a prime contractor (80% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on defense facility upgrades. The company competes predominantly under small-business set-asides on individual purchase orders and delivery orders; no full-and-open prime awards appear in the recent footprint.

Plae Vertical's core capability is the design, procurement, and installation of specialized flooring and turf systems for military fitness centers, training facilities, and tactical spaces. Concrete representative work includes a $157.7 thousand firm-fixed-price delivery order from the U.S. Air Force (awarded September 2024) for removal and replacement of turf at Albuquerque under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, a $161 thousand total small-business set-aside purchase order from Air Education and Training Command (September 2023) for turf delivery and installation at Eglin Air Force Base, and a $94.8 thousand total small-business set-aside from the Alaska National Guard (August 2021) for artificial portable turf mats and Velcro attachment systems supporting the Holistic Health and Fitness program. The company also holds a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (MAS) with a $475 thousand ceiling running through February 2029, which authorizes turf, carpet, gym flooring, and modular tile sales plus installation services across federal agencies under Special Item Number 339920S and OLM (Order-Level Materials).

Customer concentration reflects heavy Department of Defense exposure. By award count, the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment leads with five awards, followed by the Department of the Army (three awards, $273 thousand combined value) and Army Training and Doctrine Command (three awards, $266 thousand combined value). By dollar magnitude, GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates at $564 thousand combined potential value across two awards (the MAS vehicle and related task orders), with the Department of the Air Force Academy and Air Mobility Command contributing $428 thousand and $203 thousand respectively. The top five customers account for 53% of awards by count and 65% of combined potential value.

Plae Vertical places most work under the Special Operations Equipment — Tailored Logistics Support vehicle, which has generated five task orders. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule vehicle anchors near-term federal ordering capacity with the $475 thousand ceiling and recent small-business task-order activity through 2029. Recent activity has flattened — four awards in 2022, five in 2023, six in 2024, then one each in 2025 and 2026 — suggesting either backlog-driven completion or pipeline contraction.

In its subcontractor capacity, Plae Vertical supplies heavy-duty rubber and turf flooring components to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. on multiple task orders awarded between November 2023 and February 2025, and delivered athletic flooring as a sub to BL Harbert International LLC on a design-build health and wellness center project at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia (awarded November 2023). The company's NAICS footprint splits evenly between Carpet and Rug Mills (seven awards) and Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing (seven awards), with additional work in flooring contracting and plastics product manufacturing. Combined potential value across all awards totals $2.7 million, with $3.2 million obligated to date.
