Bek, Inc.

Bek, Inc., operating its Level 1 Fasteners division, is a women-owned, HUBZone-certified manufacturer of industrial fasteners—cap screws, socket head cap screws, machine screws, bolts, studs, nuts, and specialty alloy fasteners—based in Huntington, West Virginia, selling directly to federal defense agencies as a prime contractor through thousands of individual purchase orders and blanket purchase agreement calls. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open, earning roughly one-third of its combined potential value obligated; recent activity shows 574 awards in 2025 and 144 in 2026 (year-to-date), placing Bek at high volume and low-to-mid-range order values, a profile consistent with transactional fastener supply rather than platform or systems work.

Customer concentration sits heavily with Navy and Defense Logistics Agency logistics commands. The top five customer segments by award count account for 93% of recent awards: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (2,238 awards, $10.3 million), Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware (1,696 awards, $5.3 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (1,017 awards, $4.5 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (956 awards, $65.3 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (438 awards, $1.5 million). By potential value, Naval Supply Systems Command dominates at $65.3 million across 956 awards, reflecting Bek's position as a standing supplier under a $20 million IDV (April 2023–April 2028) covering Federal Supply Classes 5305–5310 for aircraft and industrial fasteners. DLA Aviation and the troop support hardware arms generate volume but smaller individual order values; Naval Sea Systems Command and the broader Navy contribute mid-range dollars through purchase orders for ship maintenance and logistics.

Bek holds or operates under multiple indefinite delivery vehicles and BPA structures. The most active include Naval Supply Systems Command BPA N0010413A7005 (269 task orders, $1.2 million), BPA N0010418ANU01 (164 task orders, $999 thousand), BPA N0010414AZE67 (95 task orders, $446 thousand), and BPA N0010423AG801 (83 task orders, $699 thousand). Notably, on December 18, 2025, Bek won a new $350,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation (total small business set-aside, through December 2027), establishing a vehicle for future delivery orders on socket head cap screws and related fasteners under Federal Supply Class 5305. These vehicles anchor Bek's transactional flow and enable rapid task order issuance without fresh competition.

The vendor's capability portfolio is narrow and concrete: manufacturing of screws (5,098 awards across all records), bolts (877), studs (432), nuts and washers (326), and specialty fastener components, typically to military specification (MIL-DTL-1222, QQ-N-281D) and in specialized alloys including K-Monel, nickel-copper-aluminum, and self-locking variants. Representative recent work includes a $256,147.50 total-small-business-set-aside delivery order from DLA Aviation (February 13, 2026) for socket head cap screws (NSN 5305013231137), a $163,930 order for the same item (January 26, 2026), and a $75,857.40 NAVSEA purchase order for cap screws (January 27, 2026)—all firm fixed-price, all Huntington-based performance. Bek also received a $32,578 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services (May 2022–May 2024) for renewable energy and efficiency improvements at its manufacturing facility, a non-contract data point indicating investment in production capability.

Subcontract footprint is negligible: only one named sub-award appears in the source, a small May 2025 fastener procurement to Huntington Ingalls Inc. for CVN-75 advance planning bolts. The vendor operates almost entirely as prime (6,846 of 6,852 awards).

Activity trajectory shows a decline in award count from 2022 (524) to 2024 (382), followed by recovery in 2025 (574) and a sharp seasonal drop in 2026 YTD (144 awards in the first 3+ months). Recompete exposure in the next 24 months is modest: 87 awards with combined potential value of $1.2 million are scheduled for completion, suggesting limited near-term cliff risk, though the Naval Supply Systems Command $20 million IDV (expiring April 2028) will eventually require recompete.

By category, the vendor's work is entirely NAICS 3325 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing)—6,098 awards—with minor exposure to nonferrous forging (222), precision turned products (93), gaskets and sealing (92), and hardware (87). PSC coding confirms dominance in screws (5,098), bolts (877), and studs (432). The vendor is a pure-play fastener manufacturer with no diversification into services, systems integration, or other industrial sectors. Women-owned and HUBZone status recurs across the prime footprint; most recent awards (from late 2025 onward) carry total small business set-aside or no-set-aside designations, indicating Bek competes both under and outside reserve vehicles.
