R.w. Martin And Sons Inc.

R.W. Martin and Sons Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Kent, Ohio, delivers industrial laundry equipment maintenance, repair, parts, and related facility services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor across 100% of its federal award footprint. The company operates as a wholly owned child of C. Ottman Holdings Inc., also a self-certified small disadvantaged business registered at the same Kent address.

R.W. Martin and Sons competes predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open VA solicitations, with no subcontractor relationships in its federal portfolio. The vendor's concrete capability scope centers on preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, parts supply, and specialized support for commercial laundry equipment at VA medical facilities — including washers, dryers, ironers, tunnel washers, conveyors, and monitoring systems from manufacturers such as Milnor, Braun, Jensen, Colmac, Huebsch, Chicago, and Sioux Corporation. Representative work includes a $2.9 million total small business laundry equipment preventive maintenance and repair contract with VISN 16 at Gulf Coast Veterans Healthcare System in Biloxi, Mississippi, running through September 2029; a $2.5 million total small business laundry equipment maintenance contract with VISN 8 at Bay Pines VA Healthcare System in Bay Pines, Florida, through March 2029; a $2.9 million total small business laundry maintenance contract with VISN 16 at Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 in Kent, Ohio, awarded September 1, 2026, and running through August 2031; and a $727,716 total small business definitive contract with VISN 10 for preventive maintenance and inspection at Battle Creek VA Medical Center, Michigan, through October 2027. The vendor also delivers equipment procurement and installation — a $262,455 full-and-open purchase order to VISN 22 for an ABG Systems White Box controlled-distribution system with RFID tracking for medical supplies — and one equipment sale, a $38,794 total small business purchase order from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service for a Sioux Corporation mobile steam generator.

Customer concentration sits entirely within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The top five VISN customers by potential value (83% coverage) are VISN 16 anchoring the portfolio at $12.4 million across 19 awards, VISN 22 at $4.4 million across 4 awards, VISN 8 at $3 million across 10 awards, VISN 10 at $2.7 million across 13 awards, and VISN 2 at $1.7 million across 5 awards. By award count, VISN 16 and VISN 23 tie at 19 awards each, followed by VISN 5 with 15 awards. Across the entire 421-award footprint, R.W. Martin has served 17 distinct customer agencies, though 83% of combined potential value flows through five VISNs. Product and service scope reflects laundry-equipment specialization: the top NAICS codes are Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance (37 awards), Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing (18 awards), and Appliance Repair and Maintenance (14 awards); top PSC codes are Miscellaneous Items (146 awards), Laundry and Dry Cleaning Equipment (80 awards), and Plumbing Fixtures and Accessories (20 awards).

Activity has remained modest and stable: six awards in 2022, five in 2023, nine in 2024, six in 2025, and seven in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value stands at $29.4 million, with $21.7 million obligated to date (74% draw). Only four awards (combined potential value $1.4 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure.

SCI-reported service-contract invoicing across federal contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $4.5 million from FY2022 through FY2024 — $1.4 million in FY2022, $1.3 million in FY2023, and $1.7 million in FY2024 — with measured FTE growth from 1.3 FTEs in FY2022 to 4.3 FTEs in FY2024. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $131.94 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $214.28 per hour and entry-level work at $101.85 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 37% of total contractor hours on average, with five named subcontractors reported; however, the vendor's primary federal award portfolio shows no formal sub-award relationships, indicating subcontracting activity occurs within larger task orders rather than as distinct federal sub-awards. R.W. Martin operates substantially as its own delivery vehicle for laundry equipment services at VA facilities, with subcontractor engagement limited to specialized or surge-capacity support within individual contracts.
