Absolute Storage, LLC

Absolute Storage, LLC, doing business as Absolute Steel, is a small business manufacturer of prefabricated metal structures and building components based in Tempe, Arizona that operates as a prime contractor on GSA Multiple Award Schedule delivery orders and purchase orders across federal civilian agencies. Absolute Steel competes exclusively in full-and-open competition; the vendor holds no set-aside certifications, though roughly 30% of recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations awarded through open competition.

Absolute Steel's capability portfolio centers on the design, manufacture, and delivery of prefabricated metal structures — carports, storage buildings, RV covers, steel awnings, and pre-engineered metal building kits — for federal facility infrastructure and operational support. Recent representative prime work includes a $96,828 delivery order from the Fish and Wildlife Service for a pre-engineered metal building at the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge (August 2024), a $48,473 delivery order from Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 for a prefabricated building at the MA Berkshire Trout Hatchery (May 2025), a $42,740 delivery order from Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8 for prefabricated building solutions at Klamath Falls, Oregon (January 2026), and a $32,703 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from Customs and Border Protection for a carport at the Eureka Border Patrol Station (September 2024). The vendor also holds a newly awarded GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract with a $3.974 million ceiling running through May 2031.

Customer concentration is broad and diffuse across the federal civilian base. The top five customer agencies by award count account for only 21% of awards and represent distinct mission areas: the Air National Guard leads by award count with 13 awards ($160 thousand combined potential value), followed by National Park Service Intermountain Region (8 awards, $86 thousand), Air Force (7 awards, $103 thousand), Coast Guard (6 awards, $74 thousand), and Veterans Health Administration (5 awards, $62 thousand). The Fish and Wildlife Service ranks first by potential value ($173 thousand across 4 awards). No single agency anchors the vendor's portfolio; the vendor serves 78 distinct customer agencies across its 184 total prime awards spanning more than two decades. Absolute Steel places all work through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with 125 task orders generating $3.1 million in combined potential value.

Activity has declined markedly in recent years: five awards in 2024 and two awards each in 2025 and 2026 (most recent award May 2026) contrast with a historical rate of higher-volume award flow. Combined potential value across all 184 awards is $14.3 million, with $4.9 million obligated to date (34% obligation rate). The vendor holds no subcontract positions and operates exclusively as a prime contractor. Work is performed at customer sites across the United States — Klamath Falls, Oregon; Berkshire, Massachusetts; Davis, West Virginia; Amargosa Valley, Nevada; border patrol stations, national wildlife refuges, military installations, and forest service facilities — with manufacturing and administrative oversight in Tempe, Arizona.
