Bayou Metal Supply & Manufacturing, L.L.C.

Bayou Metal Supply & Manufacturing, L.L.C., a Louisiana-based for-profit limited liability company, supplies metal plates, sheets, bars, tubes, structural angles, beams, channels, and specialty aluminum and stainless steel components to the Department of Defense and federal logistics agencies as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor is classified as a small business and competes across both full-and-open and total small business set-aside solicitations; roughly 45% of recent prime awards carry a total small business set-aside designation, while the remainder are unrestricted competitions. Bayou Metal Supply has been registered in SAM.gov since 2004 and operates from Slidell, Louisiana, with performance across that location and various DLA distribution centers domestically and overseas.

The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency ecosystem. The Defense Logistics Agency (including DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment and DLA Land and Maritime) accounts for 637 of the vendor's 741 total awards (96% award count coverage). Within that concentration, DLA Land and Maritime leads by potential value at $4 million across 143 awards, followed by the base DLA organization at $2.9 million across 298 awards, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment at $2.1 million across 196 awards. The vendor also holds material relationships with the Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command ($1.7 million across 5 awards), the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command ($645 thousand across 3 awards), and Naval Sea Systems Command ($242 thousand across 25 awards). Recent representative prime work includes a $189.6 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Military Sealift Command for sea chests on May 15, 2025; a $170.9 million sheet metal order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment on May 4, 2023; and a $104.5 million metal plate delivery order from DLA on February 9, 2024. The vendor also holds four single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250 thousand, covering sheet metal, metallic pipes, tubes, and structural components.

Activity has fluctuated but remained substantial. The vendor executed 110 awards in 2022, dropped to 37 in 2023, rebounded to 113 in 2024, declined to 68 in 2025, and has recorded 30 awards through July 2026. Combined potential value across all awards in the source is $11.8 million, against $19.4 million in combined obligations—a 164% ratio indicating heavy execution against prior-year ceiling values. No recompete cliff window is specified in the source.

Bayou Metal Supply operates as a subcontractor to major defense primes. Named sub relationships include BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. (on Bradley A4 and M109A7 platform production and Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle programs, with material purchases supporting Ukraine initiatives), Textron Systems Corp (on Lighter-Than-Air Craft 100 class long-lead-time material), Vigor Works LLC (on naval vessel aluminum plate and pipe fabrication under low-rate initial production), Marinette Marine Corporation (on FFG(X) guided missile frigate design and construction), and Eastern Shipbuilding Group on prior shipbuilding projects. The subcontract work is rooted in material supply—structural and specialty metal components—rather than engineering or systems integration.

The vendor's award portfolio is defined by commodity supply. Top NAICS codes are Nonferrous Metal Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (203 awards) and Nonferrous Forging (190 awards). Top PSC codes are Plate, Sheet, Strip, and Foil—Nonferrous Base Metal (278 awards) and Structural Shapes, Nonferrous Base Metal (162 awards). The vendor supplies the specific metallic stock and components that flow into defense platform production, military construction, and DLA inventory replenishment. The absence of any service or engineering content in the award descriptions and the granular PSC coding around specific metal forms and dimensions underscore that Bayou Metal is a raw-material and semi-finished-component supplier, not a systems integrator or logistics service provider.
