VGS Inc.

VGS Inc. Vocational Guidance Services, Inc. Division, a Cleveland-based non-profit organization, operates as a prime contractor delivering two distinct capability streams to federal agencies: women's apparel manufacturing and federal facilities maintenance services, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes on full-and-open competitive basis across both capability areas and holds no SBA set-aside certifications.

The apparel manufacturing portfolio dominates by award count. VGS manufactures women's, girls', and infants' cut-and-sew outerwear and related apparel products for the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles program, accounting for 425 awards (63% of total prime awards) valued at $138.7 million combined potential value. This work flows through five primary Indefinite Delivery Contracts—SPE1C115DN003 (222 task orders, $5.8 million), SPM1C113DN004 (79 task orders, $786 thousand), SPE1C118DN026 (58 task orders, $1.5 million), 47PF0018D0051 (40 task orders, $318 thousand), and GS05P13SLD0025 (37 task orders, $245 thousand)—all held as single-award vehicles with no set-aside designation. Representative orders include routine deliveries of women's slacks and outerwear across multiple contract vehicles and fiscal years since 2007. Pricing is firm fixed price across the apparel IDVs.

The facilities maintenance portfolio anchors VGS's second major customer base. The General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service Region 5 (GSA PBS Region 5) places 168 awards valued at $95.2 million combined potential value, delivered through a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (ceiling $33.6 million, February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2027) covering janitorial and related facility maintenance services at federal buildings across Ohio, including the Carl B. Stokes U.S. Courthouse and Anthony J. Celebrezze Federal Building in Cleveland; the Pease Federal Building in Medina; the John Bricker Federal Building and garage in Columbus; and the Thomas D. Lambros and Jones Federal Buildings and U.S. Courthouses in Youngstown. Delivery orders under this vehicle span routine custodial work, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, pressure washing, plaza maintenance, snow removal, emergency bed bug treatment, and grounds maintenance such as dead-tree replacement. Recent representative orders include $11,456.64 for tree replacement at the Lambros Federal Building (June 2026), $7,238.78 for carpet cleaning at the Celebrezze Federal Building (May 2026), $5,400 for emergency bed bug treatment (September 2025), and $4,000 for after-hours emergency janitorial services across eight Ohio locations (December 2024). Orders employ firm fixed-price, time-and-materials, and labor-hours pricing.

Secondary facilities customers include the Department of the Navy Installations Command (8 awards, $8.4 million combined potential value) under a single-award IDC (ceiling $4.4 million, November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2026) providing grounds maintenance, pest control, refuse disposal, and pavement clearance at Naval Operations Support Centers in Akron, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Columbus, Ohio; the Department of the Navy Reserve Operational Support Centers (6 awards, $3 million); the Department of the Air Force Reserve Command (5 awards, $5.8 million); and the Marine Corps (9 awards, $1.8 million combined potential value). DFAS and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts round out the federal portfolio with smaller orders for facilities support and custodial services. The vendor also received a one-time $1.86 million definitive contract from the Marine Corps Reserve Command for custodial services at Vienna Center, Ohio (January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2027).

Activity has remained steady but modest in recent years: seven awards in 2022, eleven in 2023, six each in 2024 and 2025, and five through June 2026. Five awards valued at $2.7 million combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. Across both the apparel and facilities portfolios, VGS operates 674 total prime awards with combined potential value of $261.8 million, of which $104.8 million (40%) has been obligated. The vendor serves nineteen distinct federal agencies but concentrates heavily on DLA Troop Support (53% of combined potential value by top-customer ranking) and GSA PBS Region 5 (36% combined potential value), with secondary concentration at Navy and Marine Corps installations across Ohio. All awards carry no set-aside designation, indicating the vendor competes directly in full-and-open procurements.
