VH Blackinton & Co Inc., headquartered in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, manufactures law enforcement badges, credentials, lapel pins, protective service insignia, and related identification accessories for federal law enforcement and civilian security agencies as a prime contractor. The company operates in full-and-open competition; its 416 recent prime awards carry no SBA set-aside designation except where individual task orders carry total small business set-asides. VH Blackinton is a for-profit manufacturer with NAICS coding concentrated in miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing (139 awards) and miscellaneous manufacturing (98 awards), and operates predominantly under PSC 6730 Badges and Insignia (283 awards).

VH Blackinton's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Homeland Security bureaus. By potential value, the Secret Service leads with 11 awards worth $42.7 million combined, followed by the Transportation Security Administration with 19 awards worth $13.5 million. By award count, the Drug Enforcement Administration tops the list with 29 awards ($1.1 million), Immigration and Customs Enforcement with 23 awards ($2.2 million), and the DHS Chief Procurement Office with 20 awards ($1.1 million). The top five customers by potential value account for 84% of combined potential value. The Bureau of Prisons Central Office holds 8 awards worth $5.5 million, concentrated in a single indefinite-delivery contract for RCA individual staff badges, lanyards, and wallets running through September 2027. The Secret Service dominates the dollar volume through a $2.3 million IDC ceiling awarded September 2025 and running through 2030, while TSA's $13.5 million concentration derives from both a $9.9 million small-business-set-aside IDC (ultimate completion May 2026) and individual task orders. The Department of Veterans Affairs holds a $663 thousand BPA under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for LETC badges.

Recent capability work spans mission-critical identification products: a $1.3 million delivery order with the Secret Service for law enforcement badges (September 2025, running through 2030); a $905 thousand purchase order with the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security for DS special agent shields and lapel pins (October 2025, through December 2027); a $1.3 million purchase order with ICE Office of Professional Responsibility for law enforcement shields for newly hired agents (August 2025, completing March 2026); a $245 thousand purchase order with the IRS Criminal Investigation division for special agent credentials and badge holders (September 2022, through September 2025); and a $421 million delivery order with the Bureau of Prisons for RCA individual staff badges, lanyards, and wallets (October 2022, through September 2027). Smaller examples include $94 thousand and $18.4 thousand BPA calls with the DEA under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, and a $158 thousand TSA delivery order for badge refurbishment (June 2023, closed February 2024).
