About the company
The Council Tool Company, a for-profit manufacturer of industrial-grade forged hand tools based in Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina, operates as a prime contractor supplying specialized hand tools — Pulaski tools, mattocks, combination tools, and replacement handles — to federal agencies through delivery orders under blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery contracts. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no recurrence of set-aside designations across its prime footprint, though several recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside language on government first-article test orders.
The Council Tool Company's customer base concentrates heavily on defense logistics. The top five customer organizations by potential-value share account for 80% of combined potential value, with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment program anchoring the portfolio at 46 awards valued at $16 million combined potential value — the largest single customer by dollar magnitude. The Naval Sea Systems Command ranks second by potential value ($10 million from two awards — two multi-year blanket purchase agreements awarded June 15, 2024, each valued at $5 million through June 14, 2029) despite far fewer orders. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates by award count (319 awards, $8 million combined potential value), a significant divergence reflecting high-volume small-dollar orders through GSA's supply schedules. The Department of the Army Materiel Command, the Department of the Navy, and smaller Army National Guard commands round out the active set.
The vendor holds established positions on multiple government contracting vehicles. The top parent vehicle by task-order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract GS06FT0005 under GSA Federal Acquisition Service (412 task orders, $937 thousand combined potential value), followed by two blanket purchase agreements also under GSA (GS06F6COUN and GS06F6COUS, 88 task orders each with no combined potential-value figure in the source). The vendor also holds a $7.5 million DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment IDIQ contract awarded in July 2021 and two $5 million Naval Sea Systems Command BPAs established in June 2024, each running through June 2029. Recent representative awards include a $65,820 fixed-price delivery order from DLA for combination tools (December 2024), a $13,570 DLA order for Pulaski tools (March 2025), and multiple government first-article test orders ranging from $115 to $484 (June 2026).
Activity has remained modest and flat — two to six awards annually over the past five years, with a combined potential value of $42.4 million across 1,111 total awards in the source data spanning back to 1992, though recent awards are sparse. The vendor's portfolio is heavily concentrated in hand-tool manufacturing: 1,046 awards fall under NAICS 541512 (Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing), with 974 orders under PSC Hand Tools, Nonedged, Nonpowered. The Council Tool Company operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint and performs all work in Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina.
