Bright Horizon Metals, Inc.

Bright Horizon Metals, Inc. is a small business prime contractor based in Sumner, Washington that supplies specialty metals and metal components—including plates, sheets, bars, angles, tubing, fasteners, and finished items—to the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard on firm fixed-price purchase orders. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open (unrestricted) and total small business set-aside categories; it has no SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) and does not operate as a subcontractor except for one documented sub-award to Metro Machine Corp in August 2024.

The company's federal footprint is dominated by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), which accounts for 1,285 of 1,532 total awards (84%) and 5.8 million dollars of the combined 7.1 million dollar potential value. The U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces ranks second with 185 awards valued at $905 thousand, followed by Naval Supply Systems Command (33 awards, $114 thousand), the U.S. Coast Guard (14 awards, $190 thousand), and Strategic Systems Programs (5 awards, $13 thousand). The concentration is nearly total: the top five customers represent 99% of recent awards and 99% of combined potential value. NAVSEA's dominance in both volume and dollars is consistent across both ranking approaches, indicating stable, ongoing demand from a single customer.

Bright Horizon Metals' capability portfolio, grounded in recent award activity, centers on supply of commodity and specialty steel, aluminum, nickel-copper, stainless, and brass materials in mill forms. Representative prime awards include a $55,599.90 July 2025 contract from U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces for extruded aluminum (NAICS 332996, Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing); a $50,036.53 June 2023 contract for Monel plates under total small business set-aside; a $93,217.80 January 2025 contract from Pacific Fleet Forces for metal plate PC 1 (total small business set-aside); a $57,520.00 March 2024 NAVSEA contract for metal plates (total small business set-aside); and multiple recurring orders for structural steel plates, sheets, angles, round bar, and fasteners ranging from under $1,000 to $43,500. Award descriptions consistently reference MIL-S-22698 and ABS specifications, NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity compliance, and delivery to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, and subordinate facilities across CONUS and OCONUS (Japan, South Carolina, Iowa, Pennsylvania).

The top NAICS codes are Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing (292 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (263 awards), and Iron and Steel Mills (156 awards), reflecting a heavy commodity metals footprint. Top PSC categories are Plate, Sheet, Strip, Foil, and Leaf (374 awards); Plate, Sheet, Strip, and Foil; Nonferrous Base Metal (230 awards); and Bars and Rods (221 awards).

Activity has been moderate and cyclical: 71 awards in 2022, 101 in 2023, 71 in 2024, 82 in 2025, and 17 through early April 2026. The recompete cliff is minimal—only one award completes in the next twenty-four months, valued at $10 thousand. The vendor has maintained active registration since July 2001 and has generated $7.8 million in obligated dollars against a $7.1 million combined potential value, indicating reliable delivery and billing aligned with contract ceilings. Bright Horizon Metals operates from Sumner, Washington and maintains performance locations in Charlotte, North Carolina; Richburg, South Carolina; Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania; Fontana, California; and other subordinate facilities, positioning it as a distributed supplier to Navy shipyards and fleet logistics centers nationwide.
