Bek, Inc.

Bek, Inc. Level 1 Fasteners Division, doing business as Level 1 Fasteners, manufactures and supplies industrial fasteners—cap screws, socket head cap screws, machine screws, bolts, studs, nuts, continuous-thread studs, and specialty alloy fasteners to military specification—to the federal government as a women-owned, HUBZone-certified small business prime contractor. The vendor competes almost exclusively in full-and-open and total small business set-aside vehicles, with women-owned small business posture recurring across its prime footprint.

Bek operates from Huntington, West Virginia (NAICS 332722, Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing; PSC 53, Hardware and Abrasives). The vendor's federal award portfolio spans 6,975 awards totaling $100.8 million in combined potential value, with $31.6 million obligated (31% of potential), generating a high-volume transactional fastener supply profile. Recent activity shows 524 awards in 2022, declining through 2024 to 382 awards, then recovering to 574 in 2025 and 267 through mid-2026; the trajectory reflects the transactional, order-driven nature of fastener supply but signals recent volume pressure.

Customer concentration is heavily Defense Logistics Agency and Navy logistics-dominated. The top five customers by award count account for 93% of awards: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads with 2,329 awards ($13.4 million potential value), followed by DLA Troop Support Hardware (1,696 awards, $5.3 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (1,032 awards, $4.6 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (965 awards), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (438 awards). When ranked by potential value, Naval Supply Systems Command dominates at $73.4 million across 965 awards—a marked divergence from volume rankings. This concentration reflects Bek's standing position as a fastener supplier under Naval Supply Systems Command's $20 million Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (April 2023–April 2028) covering Federal Supply Classes 5305–5310 for aircraft and industrial fasteners.

Representative prime work includes a $256,147.50 total small business set-aside delivery order from DLA Aviation (February 2026) for socket head cap screws (NSN 5305013231137); a $103,950 total small business set-aside delivery order from DLA Aviation (May 2026, renewed May 2026) for socket head cap screws; and a $34,778.70 total small business set-aside BPA call from Naval Supply Systems Command (May 2026) for hexagon cap screws. The awards listed in the source—over 850 visible purchase orders and BPA calls from June 2026 backward—are predominantly sub-$25,000 transactional fastener items, firm fixed-price, to Navy and DLA logistics commands.

Bek holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation (April 30, 2026 through April 29, 2028) for $2.5 million, total small business set-aside, covering aircraft and industrial fasteners under Federal Supply Classes 5305–5310. Task orders against this vehicle are frequent; the source shows recent delivery orders of $103,950 and a large purchase order of $256,147.50, both set-aside to Bek in early 2026. The vendor also operates under multiple Navy and DLA blanket purchase agreements, including BPA N0010413A7005 (269 task orders, $1.2 million combined potential value) and BPA N0010418ANU01 (164 task orders, $999 thousand combined potential value).

Awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months total 84 items with combined potential value of $1.3 million—a moderate recompete exposure relative to the vendor's $100.8 million portfolio, reflecting the high-frequency, low-individual-value nature of fastener procurement.

Bek's sub position is minimal: six sub-awards across the entire portfolio (0.09% of awards), with a May 2025 sub-award to Huntington Ingalls Inc. for CVN 75 carrier refueling and complex overhaul advance-planning fasteners (bolts, nickel-copper-aluminum alloy and steel, self-locking variants to MIL-DTL-1222 specification). Service Contract Inventory data shows 2 records, both as named subcontractor, spanning FY2024–FY2025 with 5.9 FTEs in FY2025, indicating minimal SCI-reportable service-contract activity. The vendor's federal footprint is goods-dominant fastener supply, not service contracting.

Bek competes predominantly as a prime, owns no parent contract vehicles, and carries no teaming relationships of strategic scale. The vendor is operationally and commercially locked into the Navy and DLA fastener procurement ecosystem through standing IDVs and BPAs, generating high-volume, low-margin order flow. Business development opportunity with Bek centers on fastener sub-supply arrangements with large defense primes on aircraft, ship, and platform overhaul programs (e.g., the Huntington Ingalls sub example), not on competing directly against the vendor in prime fastener supply to Navy and DLA logistics commands where Bek's small business set-aside eligibility and standing vehicle positions create entrenched market advantage.
