Cfmw, LLC

Cfmw, LLC, doing business as Columbia Forge & Machine Works, manufactures precision-engineered marine hardware components — buoy swivels, shackles, and related fittings — for the U.S. Coast Guard and Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under small business set-aside vehicles and full-and-open delivery orders. The company is a self-certified women-owned small business and small disadvantaged business, structured as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, headquartered in Washougal, Washington with operations in Portland, Oregon.

Cfmw operates almost exclusively under two Coast Guard Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $4.36 million single-award, total small business set-aside IDC for buoy swivels (awarded February 2024, performance through February 2029) and a $5.68 million single-award IDC for shackles and marine hardware (awarded August 2023, expiring August 2026). The swivel IDC has generated three documented delivery orders totaling $532,192 between July 2024 and February 2026, including a $127,707 order for 300 units to Baltimore (February 2026) and a $187,485 order with August 2025 completion. The shackles IDC has sustained multiple delivery orders, with a recent $642,334 order for 1,700 units (January 2026) and a $1.41 million order awarded September 2023. Individual delivery orders carry no set-aside designation beyond the underlying IDC's total small business set-aside status, and are structured as firm fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment provisions. Cfmw also holds smaller Defense Logistics Agency indefinite delivery contracts — DTCG4002D20028 ($4.3 million, 18 task orders) and 70Z08419DBHQ00400 ($2.2 million, 9 task orders) — for fittings and hardware components, as well as a $29,287 total small business set-aside purchase order from the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation for split-key shackle assemblies (September 2024).

Customer concentration is overwhelming: the Coast Guard accounts for 39 of 96 total awards (73% of award count) and $30.8 million of $37.3 million combined potential value (83% of dollars). The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime places 19 orders valued at $207,000 combined; remaining agency work is minimal. Award velocity has moderated to two orders in 2026 year-to-date after peaks of six awards in 2024 and four in 2023. Work is performed in Washougal and Portland, supporting the Coast Guard's Aids to Navigation program with mission-critical maritime infrastructure components. Cfmw holds no contract vehicles of its own (all work flows through government-owned IDCs) and operates entirely as a prime — the source identifies no subcontract footprint.
