About the company
Western States Envelope Co, doing business as Western States Envelope & Label, manufactures envelopes, paper products, and related stationery supplies for the federal government as a prime contractor operating exclusively on small-business set-asides or full-and-open federal contracts. The company is a Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Butler, Wisconsin, with all manufacturing performed at its primary facility. Western States Envelope has been an active federal vendor since at least 2003 and competes under both Total Small Business set-asides (which recur across its portfolio) and unrestricted full-and-open competitions.
Concentration with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons is overwhelming: 537 of 724 total awards (74%) flow to Bureau of Prisons facilities, generating $13 million of the $16.4 million combined potential value across the portfolio (81% of dollars). Federal Correctional Institution Sandstone dominates as the single customer, with 447 awards valued at $8.6 million, followed by the Bureau of Prisons Central Office with 49 awards worth $4.4 million. Smaller customers include United States Penitentiary Leavenworth (12 awards, $137 thousand), Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg (8 awards, $69 thousand), the Railroad Retirement Board (2 awards, $8 thousand), and Federal Correctional Complex Hazelton (1 award). This customer concentration reflects a highly specialized, single-customer vendor posture focused on Bureau of Prisons envelope and paper procurement.
Western States Envelope holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with the Bureau of Prisons. The newer vehicle, IDC DJU4600004638, awarded March 13, 2025, carries a $1.346 million ceiling through March 12, 2028 under Total Small Business set-aside and specifically covers envelopes and related paper supplies for federal correctional facilities; five delivery orders have been placed against it since May 2025, ranging from $12,225 to $53,283. The older vehicle, IDC DJU4600004264, awarded February 3, 2022 with a $1.239 million ceiling expired February 2, 2025 but supported 181 task orders during its run. Three additional IDCs (DJU4600003050, 4600001147, and 15UC0C19D00000536) account for 348 additional task orders valued at $4 million combined. Representative work includes delivery orders for standard paper products, envelopes in sizes from 3-7/8" by 8-7/8" to 10" by 15" in white-wove, white-sulphite, and brown-kraft materials, and string-and-button envelopes. A $64,070 order in September 2022 represents the largest single delivery order in the source data; most orders fall in the $10 thousand to $35 thousand range.
Activity has remained modest but consistent: the vendor placed 10 awards in 2022, 7 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 5 in 2026 through August. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $8.6 million against a $16.4 million combined potential value, indicating 52% draw-down. Western States Envelope competes exclusively as prime contractor; the source carries no subcontractor engagement. The vendor's award footprint aligns tightly with PSC Bags and Sacks (515 awards) and Paper and Paperboard (84 awards), with secondary exposure in Stationery and Record Forms (77 awards). By NAICS, Envelope Manufacturing dominates at 436 awards, followed by Stationery Product Manufacturing (244 awards) and Paper Mills categories (27 to 9 awards). The company operates as a direct, single-customer supplier to an agency with predictable, recurring envelope and paper procurement needs and has maintained that relationship across two decades of federal contracting.
