Solar Screen Co Inc.

Solar Screen Co Inc., Solar Screen Co., Inc. Division, a veteran-owned small business based in Corona, New York, manufactures and installs custom transparent plastic window shades for federal aviation infrastructure, operating exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract structure and competing predominantly under total small business set-asides.

The vendor's federal work centers entirely on cab shade design, fabrication, and installation for air traffic control tower facilities. Representative recent awards include a $149,890 delivery order issued March 27, 2026, under the vendor's $5 million IDIQ with the FAA for cab shade procurement across thirteen airports spanning the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast (Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Evansville, and Huntington, Indiana; Charleston and Beckley, West Virginia; Erie, Pennsylvania; Atwood, Wisconsin; St. Paul, Minnesota; Moline and Alton, Illinois; Grand Forks, North Dakota; Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio), with completion scheduled for March 15, 2027; a $142,196 delivery order issued June 2, 2026, for replacements at twelve Pacific Northwest and California airports (Lewiston, Idaho; Hillsboro and Redmond, Oregon; Yakima, Washington; Modesto, Oakland, Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno, California; Chandler and Redding, Arizona; Reno, Nevada), due December 28, 2026; and an $85,070 delivery order issued April 9, 2026, for eight Southwest and South region locations (Goodyear and Phoenix, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Texarkana, Arkansas; San Antonio, Houston, and Midland, Texas; New Orleans, Louisiana), due September 30, 2026. A $69,480 purchase order from the Air Education and Training Command on July 29, 2025, for sunshades under the SUNSHADES 8 RSU procurement demonstrates secondary defense customer engagement beyond the dominant FAA footprint.

Customer concentration is sharply skewed toward the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA Southwestern Region alone accounts for 49 awards (66% coverage) valued at $7.9 million combined potential value, followed by FAA Headquarters with 12 awards at $5.7 million and the FAA Northwest Mountain Region with 6 awards at $5.3 million. Together, these three FAA entities represent 97% of the vendor's combined potential value across 120 prime awards. Secondary customers include the Department of the Air Force (7 awards, $72 thousand) and the Department of the Navy Installations Command (5 awards, $49 thousand), both delivering substantially smaller order volumes and dollar values.

The vendor holds a single-award $5 million IDIQ with the FAA Southwestern Region, designated as a total small business set-aside, running through December 3, 2026, and currently exercised at Year 2. This vehicle anchors the prime footprint: 28 task orders from this IDC carry $1.3 million combined potential value. Three additional FAA IDCs (697DCK24D00001, DTFACN12D00005, and DTFANM09D00012) collectively account for 25 task orders valued at $1.3 million. The vendor's NAICS concentration reflects its specialized manufacturing focus: 104 of 120 awards fall under Blind and Shade Manufacturing (NAICS 337920), with nine awards under Window Treatment Stores and three under Other Building Finishing Contractors. The PSC profile similarly concentrates at Draperies, Awnings, And Shades (100 awards), with minor scatter across R&D and maintenance categories.

Activity has been volatile but remained consistent with the vendor's niche. The past five years show 2023 as the peak year (11 awards), followed by decline to three awards in 2025 and rebound to eight awards in 2026 through September. Only five awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $417 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete cliff exposure. The vendor's award history extends to July 2005, and combined potential value across 120 awards totals $19.8 million, with $4.1 million obligated to date (21% penetration). The vendor operates nationwide across multiple FAA regional divisions and performs work at geographically dispersed airport locations but maintains administrative oversight and manufacturing operations at its Corona, New York headquarters, with field performance at individual airport sites across the continental United States and Alaska.
