Craftmaster Hardware LLC

Craftmaster Hardware LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Northvale, New Jersey, supplies security hardware, locksmith products, and facility security components to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), with a small subcontractor footprint. The company competes across both small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements, with roughly equal split between Total Small Business and unrestricted awards in recent activity.

Craftmaster's customer concentration centers on defense and federal facility security operations. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division dominates the prime footprint at 45 awards valued at $1.6 million combined potential value, followed at distance by DLA Aviation (5 awards, $780 thousand), the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (14 awards, $638 thousand), and the National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (11 awards, $175 thousand). Across 215 total awards since 2004, Craftmaster has worked with 76 distinct federal agencies, but concentration is sharp — the top five customers account for 65 percent of combined potential value. Two customer rankings diverge meaningfully: GSA Federal Acquisition Service places many small orders (14 awards) but ranks fourth in dollars, while DLA Aviation places few orders (5 awards) but anchors $780 thousand in potential value through a single large indefinite delivery contract.

Craftmaster holds five active DLA indefinite delivery contracts: a $734,643 single-award IDC for strike interlocking hardware running through March 30, 2030 (awarded March 31, 2025); a $350,000 Total Small Business single-award IDC for rim lock sets through January 12, 2027 (awarded January 12, 2026); a $250,000 single-award IDC for mortise lock sets through December 12, 2025 (awarded December 12, 2024); a $250,000 single-award IDC for rim lock sets through August 23, 2025 (awarded August 23, 2024); and a $250,000 expired single-award IDC for rim lock sets that completed September 22, 2023. The vendor also participates in the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), which has generated 56 task orders totaling $975 thousand. Task orders under both vehicles run to Naval Sea Systems Command, Air Force, Marine Corps, and federal correctional facilities. Representative recent prime awards include a $249,625 MAS delivery order to the U.S. Penitentiary Leavenworth for emergency automatic door lock replacement (March 12, 2024), a $72,225 MAS delivery order to Eglin Air Force Base for door cores and keys under Total Small Business set-aside (August 29, 2025), and a $50,505 purchase order to the Federal Correctional Institution Phoenix for door locks (August 4, 2024).

Activity has remained steady — 26 awards in 2022, 27 in 2023, 33 in 2024, 26 in 2025, and 9 year-to-date in 2026 — with combined potential value across all 215 awards at $5.6 million and $3.2 million obligated (57%). The vendor's capability portfolio centers on rim locks, mortise locks, electromagnetic locks, exit devices, strike interlocking hardware, and locksmith supplies—commodity-grade security hardware distributed to military installations, federal correctional facilities, and civilian agencies' facility maintenance operations. Place of performance is consistently Northvale, New Jersey, with deliveries to DLA consolidation points, military bases, and federal facilities nationwide and overseas.

Craftmaster's subcontractor role is minimal (2% of recent awards). Named sub-awards include work for Huntington Ingalls on CVN 75 RCOH (refueling and complex overhaul) advance planning lock procurement (December 16, 2025) and work for Science and Engineering Services on storage materials in support of the LSF (Large Structural Fabrication) contract (March 24, 2025). The subcontract footprint reflects opportunistic hardware supply to larger primes rather than strategic teaming.
