Safety Storage, Inc.

Safety Storage, Inc., a for-profit small business based in Charleston, Illinois, manufactures and supplies specialized hazardous material storage containers, fire-rated storage lockers, and prefabricated storage buildings to federal agencies as a prime contractor. The vendor operates entirely as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes predominantly under full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside designations, with no characteristic reliance on 8(a) or other preferential certifications.

Safety Storage's federal footprint spans 1,399 awards with $574.4 million in combined potential value, though the portfolio carries a significant backlog pattern — only $106.5 million (19% of potential value) has been obligated to date, suggesting many awards represent catalog items or indefinite-delivery vehicles with low task-order execution rates. Recent named work includes a $362.9 million purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment for a Model 7FS safety storage unit (January 2026); a $326.5 million order from Naval Sea Systems Command for a two-hour fire-rated lithium battery storage locker to Guam (June 2025); a $148.4 million Total Small Business award from the Department of the Navy for a hazmat storage container with built-in fire suppression (August 2025); and a $507.9 million definitive contract from the Smithsonian Institution for a 22-foot by 10-foot by 9-foot FS model storage building (September 2023). USDA Agricultural Research Service and the Missile Defense Agency round out recent customers with smaller awards for chemical storage and facility support.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (84 awards, $364.5 million combined potential value — 63% of the top-five customer dollars), which dominates the potential-value rankings. By award count, the Department of the Army leads with 288 awards but only $1.5 million combined potential value, reflecting catalog-style small purchases. The top five customers account for 57% of awards by count and 79% of combined potential value — a significant concentration around DLA Troop Support, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, and Army supply channels. Safety Storage sits on two major vehicles: the GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS28F1099C (600 task orders, $8.8 million combined potential value) and an Indefinite Delivery Contract DLA73091D9000 (152 task orders). The portfolio's primary NAICS concentrations are Office Furniture Manufacturing (606 awards), Construction Machinery Manufacturing (173 awards), and Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing (120 awards), with PSC codes weighted toward Prefabricated and Portable Buildings (516 awards) and Office Furniture (387 awards). Activity over the past five years averages fewer than two awards annually in the recent snapshot, though the 1,399-award total since 1986 reflects a mature catalog vendor with decades of federal supply history. One subcontract award appears in the source — a 2024 task order under Asrc Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC — indicating minimal sub engagement relative to prime volume.
