Bayfront Metal Products LLC

Bayfront Metal Products LLC, a woman-owned small business and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) based in Casnovia, Michigan, manufactures and supplies metal bars, sheets, plates, tubes, pipes, structural components, and specialized items such as armor plates to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as a prime contractor. The company competes across both set-aside and full-and-open procurement channels, with roughly half of its documented awards designated as Total Small Business or EDWOSB set-asides and the remainder awarded on unrestricted basis.

Bayfront's customer footprint is nearly singular. The Defense Logistics Agency and its subordinate divisions account for 99 percent of awards across eight distinct customer agencies. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment leads by volume (1,012 awards, $6.6 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Aviation (155 awards, $3.3 million), the main DLA office (326 awards, $2.6 million), and DLA Land and Maritime (226 awards, $2.4 million). The concentration is pronounced—no other federal agency appears meaningfully in the award record. Bayfront has held two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000, for metallic tubing and metal sheets respectively, demonstrating the agency's sustained reliance on the vendor as a steady source for routine material procurement and responsive emergency fill-in orders.

Bayfront's award portfolio is heavily weighted toward metal commodity procurement through small purchase orders. Category concentration is deep: the top five NAICS categories (Iron and Steel Forging, Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing, Nonferrous Metal Rolling Drawing and Extruding, Nonferrous Forging, and Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing) account for 1,344 awards. The top five PSCs (Bars and Rods, Plate Sheet Strip Foil and Leaf, nonferrous equivalents, and Pipe Tube and Rigid Tubing) cover similar scope. Recent awards include a $162,000 Total Small Business set-aside for sheet metal from DLA Land and Maritime (January 8, 2026), a $106,000 Total Small Business purchase order for metal plates from DLA (October 18, 2024), and a $75,125 Total Small Business order for metal sheets from DLA (July 17, 2024).

Activity has contracted year over year—170 awards in 2024 declined to 111 in 2025 and 19 through mid-April 2026—signaling either seasonal reporting lag or sustained reduction in order volume. Eighteen awards (combined potential value $311 thousand) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete risk. Bayfront holds two Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $350,000 single-award IDC with DLA Aviation for metallic tubing (awarded February 19, 2026) and a $250,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for metallic pipe (awarded May 12, 2025), both set aside for small businesses. The company operates as a 100 percent prime contractor with no sub-award footprint in the source data. Performance occurs at Bayfront's manufacturing facility in Casnovia, Michigan, with deliveries to DLA distribution centers nationwide and overseas consolidation points.
