B&B Specialties LLC

B&B Specialties LLC Specialties Division operates exclusively as a subcontractor on federal construction projects, delivering insulated metal panels and related building materials to the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles. The vendor is a minority-owned, Black American-owned limited liability partnership certified as a small disadvantaged business, competing entirely in the sub-award channel with no prime contract vehicles or IDVs in the current footprint.

B&B Specialties' three recent awards all flow through Korte Construction Company as the prime contractor. Work includes insulated metal panels supplied under the Disaster Resiliency Program Phase 1 (awarded June 2025), insulated panels under R00008 (February 2023, $42,360), and insulated panels under R00010 (February 2023, with 49-calendar-day delivery window). Combined obligated dollars across all three awards total $7 million. The Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles is the sole customer agency across the vendor's tracked award history, representing 100% of awards and customer concentration.

Activity volume is minimal relative to decision relevance — two awards in 2023 and one in 2025 — and the vendor carries no public vehicle position, GWAC seat, or BPA membership. The subcontractor footprint is narrow: all three awards are with Korte Construction Company, a general contractor, on what appear to be military construction and disaster resilience projects. Primary NAICS aligns with commercial and institutional building construction. The vendor's footprint suggests a materials-supply specialist positioned as a sub on construction primes rather than a capacity play; the Black American ownership and SDB certification indicate set-aside leverage in the construction category, though the tracked awards do not carry explicit set-aside designations in the source.
