RFC Company

RFC Company, doing business as Johnstone Supply Co, is a small business wholesale distributor of HVAC equipment, parts, and supplies that operates as a prime contractor on GSA Multiple Award Schedule and Defense Logistics Agency delivery orders, with no subcontract footprint. The company is headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, with places of performance in Karns and Knoxville, and competes exclusively full-and-open without set-aside designations on nearly all awards, though it has received scattered small-business set-asides from the Navy and Air National Guard.

RFC Company's federal customer base is heavily concentrated in supply-chain logistics. GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates both award volume and dollar value, accounting for 36 awards and $2 million in combined potential value across 649 total prime awards. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation ranks second with 16 awards valued at $296 thousand, followed by the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (14 awards, $115 thousand) and the United States Marine Corps (11 awards, $114 thousand). These five customer agencies represent 59% of combined potential value. The portfolio spans 85 distinct federal agencies, but activity is concentrated: the top customer (GSA FAS) represents 45% of potential value, and the top two (GSA and DLA Aviation combined) represent 52%.

RFC Company's core capability is distribution of temperature-control and refrigeration components for federal facilities and aviation systems. Representative prime work includes a $21,281.91 delivery order from GSA Federal Acquisition Service in May 2026 for HVAC compressors (B78-474 and B78-483 models) under the Multiple Award Schedule, a $31,675 small-business purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command in April 2022 for an AC compressor unit (USS Montgomery LCS-8), a $23,703.68 delivery order from the U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces in August 2022 for refrigeration flush (RX-11) also under the Multiple Award Schedule, and an $11,143.36 purchase order from the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons in July 2023 for Hoshizaki self-contained refrigeration units. RFC Company holds two prime IDVs: a $475 thousand GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract running through February 2029 (awarded February 2024) under SIN 332510S for hardware store and MRO distributor services, and a $250 thousand single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation from 2020 to 2025 for thermostats and flow controls.

The Multiple Award Schedule is the dominant vehicle, accounting for 428 task orders and $785 thousand in combined potential value, with a second vehicle (Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A620D5AB1) carrying 13 task orders worth $45 thousand. Award velocity has declined sharply — the portfolio shows 14 awards in 2022, declining to 7 in 2023, 3 in 2024, 4 in 2025, and 1 award to date in 2026 — signaling either contraction in federal sales or consolidation of activity under existing vehicles rather than new awards. The combined potential value of $4.4 million across 649 awards reflects the transactional nature of supply-chain distribution: the median award size is small, though individual orders (like the $31,675 AC compressor) occasionally reach five figures. No subcontractor relationships are present in the award history; RFC Company operates exclusively as a prime distributor.
