Russ Bassett Corp

Russ Bassett Corp, a Whittier, California-headquartered for-profit Subchapter S corporation manufacturer, designs, fabricates, and installs mission-critical console furniture and workstations for federal agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) and competes predominantly full-and-open, with no characteristic set-aside posture across its prime footprint, though individual awards carry Total Small Business designations.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on ergonomic modular slatwall consoles, sit-to-stand workstations, dispatch furniture, and specialized mounting systems for air traffic control towers, military command centers, and operational control rooms. Recent representative work includes a $44.5 million delivery order from the Federal Aviation Administration (December 2025) for enroute console solution system design and fabrication at ZSE and ZJX E-Complex facilities under the vendor's $516.2 million FAA Indefinite Delivery Contract (Total Small Business, awarded October 2025); a $613,792 definitive contract from FAA Headquarters (February 2024) for slatwall console design, fabrication, delivery, and installation at Middletown Terminal Radar Approach Control, Wilkes-Barre TRACON, and Elmira Air Traffic Control Tower; and a $701,172 definitive contract from FAA Southwestern Region (August 2022) for console modernization and seismic-rated slatwall installation at Long Beach Airport Traffic Control Tower.

Customer concentration is extreme and dominates the entire portfolio. The Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters anchors 24 awards valued at $634.9 million combined potential value—representing 99% of the vendor's total portfolio value across all 82 distinct customer agencies served. The top five customers by potential-value ranking (covering 99% of all dollars) are FAA Headquarters at $634.9 million, GSA Federal Acquisition Service at $16.2 million, FAA Great Lakes Region at $1.8 million, the Department of the Air Force at $1.1 million, and FAA Southwestern Region at $1 million. By award count, concentration is broader but still dominated by FAA—27% of all awards (five customer agencies) split between the Air Force at 27 awards ($1.1 million), FAA Headquarters at 24 awards ($634.9 million), Air Force Materiel Command Test Center at 16 awards ($855 thousand), Air National Guard at 13 awards ($804 thousand), and the Army at 11 awards ($121 thousand). The divergence between the two rankings is extreme: FAA Headquarters drives dollar value while the Air Force drives award volume at much smaller individual order sizes.

The vendor holds a position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (80 task orders, $5.7 million combined potential value), Federal Supply Schedule GS25F0019M (76 task orders, $1.1 million), and Federal Supply Schedule GS29F0108G (47 task orders, $333 thousand). The FAA Indefinite Delivery Contract for console solution services ($516.2 million ceiling, October 2025 award) has generated three delivery orders totaling approximately $44.7 million as of August 2026. The vendor also executes work under legacy vehicles including DOT ATCT and TRACON Slatwall Consoles 2017–2022 (9 task orders, $59.2 million) and Indefinite Delivery Contract DTFACN12D00011 (7 task orders, $2 million).

Activity has tracked low and flat over the recent period—nine awards in 2022, nine in 2023, seventeen in 2024, seven in 2025, and four in 2026 through August. Only three awards (combined potential value $659 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure relative to the vendor's total ceiling value, though the FAA IDC's fifteen-year performance window through October 2040 anchors the majority of that value.

In its subcontractor role (3% of portfolio), Russ Bassett furnishes console furniture and installation services to Serco Inc. on STARS labor and options work, to KBR Wyle Services LLC on Mission Systems Operations Contract furniture manufacturing and installation at multiple facilities, to Leidos Inc. on En Route Automation and Modernization (ERAM) and En Route Information Display System (ERIDS) sustainment and implementation, and to Raytheon Company on STARS delivery order furniture and freight. Subcontract activity is recent and light, with awards dating from July 2023 to July 2026.

Primary NAICS coding concentrates in Office Furniture (except Wood) Manufacturing (197 awards) and All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing (77 awards), with PSC coding split across Office Furniture (153 awards), Cabinets Lockers Bins and Shelving (44 awards), and Printing Duplicating and Bookbinding Equipment (34 awards). Combined potential value across all 336 prime and sub awards is $665.1 million, with $78.4 million obligated to date (12% drawdown).
