Baja Fabrication & Shock Works Inc.

Baja Fabrication & Shock Works Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business, manufactures and delivers vehicle modification components — leveling kits, skid plates, suspension kits, and protective undercarriage components — to federal law enforcement and correctional agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company is based in Jamul, California, and manufactures all products in-house with no subcontractor involvement; work is self-performed at the Jamul facility with finished goods shipped to customer locations nationwide.

Baja Fabrication holds a dominant position on a single indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office, awarded July 15, 2021, with a $12.85 million ceiling running through July 14, 2026. This contract generates the overwhelming majority of the company's federal footprint: 99 task orders worth $18.7 million combined potential value flow through this vehicle alone. The remaining portfolio consists of smaller IDCs and individual orders scattered across Bureau of Prisons regional facilities and other agency customers. Customer concentration is exceptionally high and monolineal — 67% of the company's combined potential value ($40.3 million across nine awards) derives from the Bureau of Prisons Central Office contract vehicle itself; when regional Bureau of Prisons facilities (Federal Correctional Complex Victorville, Federal Correctional Institution Bastrop, Federal Correctional Institution La Tuna) are summed, the Department of Justice accounts for substantially all invoiced federal revenue. Over the past five years, activity has remained steady: eight awards in 2022, one in 2023, seven in 2024, eight in 2025, and five in 2026 through May. Recompete exposure is minimal — only three awards totaling $216 thousand are scheduled to complete within the next twenty-four months.

Representative work includes a $124,949.79 delivery order from Federal Correctional Complex Victorville in May 2026 for leveling kits and skid plate kits; a $143,776.01 order from Federal Correctional Institution La Tuna in January 2025 for vehicular components and upfit services; and a $189,368.83 order from Federal Correctional Institution La Tuna in March 2022 for skid plates and leveling kits for various vehicles. All recent awards cite firm fixed price or fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment structures. The company's award history extends back to 2001, reflecting long-term incumbency on Bureau of Prisons vehicle modification work. The portfolio spans 344 total awards; 171 awards fall under NAICS 332612 (Motor Vehicle Steering and Suspension Components Manufacturing), and 253 awards carry PSC Vehicular Cab, Body, and Frame Structural Components, indicating specialization in discrete vehicle components rather than full-vehicle integration or systems engineering.
