About the company
Barken's Hardchrome, Inc., doing business as Barkens Hard Chrome Inc., a woman-owned, economically disadvantaged small business based in Compton, California, delivers metal finishing and surface treatment services for aerospace and defense components as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open competition, with 100% of recent awards flowing from the U.S. Air Force. The company holds AS9100/ISO9001 and Nadcap accreditations, certifying its capability to execute specialized metal plating processes including cadmium plating, chrome plating, nickel under-plating, heat treatment, and surface finishing for precision military equipment. Work is performed at the contractor's facility in Crystal City, California.
Barken's Hardchrome operates almost exclusively through a single customer relationship. The Ogden Air Logistics Complex (Air Force Materiel Command) accounts for 37 of 39 awards and $202.2 million of the combined $202.3 million potential value across the prime contract footprint. The Naval Sea Systems Command and the broader Air Force Materiel Command account for one award each, but at negligible dollar scale ($1 thousand and $154 thousand respectively). All work sits on Indefinite Delivery Contract FA822419D0001, which carries 37 task orders valued at $6.3 million in combined potential value.
Barken's Hardchrome's award portfolio reflects deep specialization in Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile system maintenance and weapon system remanufacturing. Representative delivery orders include a $1.09 million Total Small Business order (September 2024) for metal plating processes supporting the 309th Missile Maintenance Group at Hill Air Force Base, Utah; a $955.75 thousand delivery order (January 2025) for cadmium plating, heat treatment, and surface finishing of ballistic actuator parts, lock pins, and tension rods for the same maintenance group; and a $158.6 thousand Total Small Business delivery order (March 2026) for weapon system subcomponent remanufacturing supporting the 583rd Maintenance Management Squadron at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. Activity has remained relatively flat across 2022–2026 (four to six awards per year), with only three awards (combined potential value $395 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Small-business set-asides account for roughly half the recent award volume, with the remainder awarded under full-and-open or no-set-aside designations, indicating Barken's Hardchrome competes across both pathways within its narrow customer base.
