Trace, Inc.

Trace, Inc., doing business as Trace Of Idaho, is an AbilityOne non-profit agency based in Boise, Idaho, that operates as a prime contractor delivering grounds maintenance, commissary operations (shelf stocking, custodial, and receiving/storage/holding area work), and janitorial and landscape maintenance services to federal military and civilian facilities. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements with no small-business set-asides across its federal footprint.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated in defense agencies, particularly the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), which accounts for 77 of 180 total awards and $526.6 million of the combined $683.7 million potential value — roughly 77% of the portfolio. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex drives the second-largest customer relationship with 33 awards valued at $123.8 million, centered on grounds maintenance at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command represents the third-largest customer with 27 awards worth $23.6 million, mostly grounds maintenance work at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. These three customers account for 88% of award count and 100% of documented potential value.

Representative prime work includes a $24.2 million definitive contract with DeCA for shelf stocking, merchandise segregation, and custodial operations at Fort Campbell commissary (ultimate completion February 2030); a $23.4 million five-year definitive contract with DeCA for commissary operations at Randolph Air Force Base in Texas (completion June 2029); a $23 million DeCA contract for Tinker Air Force Base commissary work (completion March 2027); a $3.9 million delivery order from the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex for grounds maintenance at Tinker AFB (completion February 2026); and a $589,319 definitive contract with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for janitorial and landscape maintenance at multiple NOAA facilities in Norman, Oklahoma, including the National Weather Radar Testbed and Radar Operations Center (completion August 2029).

The vendor's award activity shows significant concentration in prior fiscal years, with 10 awards in 2022 but declining to 1 award in 2023, 3 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 1 in early 2026. Seventeen awards with combined potential value of $170.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing substantial recompete exposure and pipeline opportunity. Trace operates exclusively as a prime contractor — all 180 awards are primes with zero sub-award activity recorded.

The vendor's service-contract footprint in the Service Contract Inventory dataset is minimal, with only $10 thousand in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across one record in FY2024, representing 0.1 FTEs at a government-paid hourly rate of $60.09/hour. This sparse SCI coverage reflects Trace's business model: the bulk of its federal revenue derives from firm fixed-price commissary operations and grounds maintenance contracts that fall outside SCI's service-contract reporting threshold or are structured as definitive contracts rather than time-and-materials work. The vendor's primary NAICS categories are All Other Support Services (73 awards), Landscaping Services (56 awards), and Facilities Support Services (34 awards), with corresponding PSC coding dominated by Housekeeping — Landscaping/Groundskeeping (86 awards) and Housekeeping — Other (78 awards).
