Fabrication Designs, Inc.

Fabrication Designs, Inc., doing business as Fabrication Design, manufactures and supplies specialized metal security doors, door frames, glazing panels, and related security components to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations as a prime contractor competing full-and-open, with 461 total awards across 25 years of federal work.

Fabrication Designs is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Hanover, Maryland, with secondary manufacturing locations in Lewisville, Texas and South Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company operates across primary NAICS 332320 (Metal Window and Door Manufacturing) and competes exclusively in full-and-open procurement—no set-aside designations appear across the prime footprint, though the source notes the vendor has received total small business set-aside contracts in the past. The vendor portfolio is highly concentrated in a single customer: the Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations accounts for 332 of 461 awards (72% by count) and $51.9 million of $98.8 million combined potential value (52% by dollars). Five additional State Department bureaus and USAID programs account for the remaining 127 awards and roughly $3.7 million in value, leaving minimal diversification.

Capability and work scope are narrow and specialized. Fabrication Designs manufactures ferrous/brass (FE/BR) door leaves, polycarbonate glazing panels, metal door screens, door frames, and related embassy security components. Representative recent work includes a $277.8 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded in January 2025 by the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations for metal door screen frames and site survey support in Trinidad and Tobago; a $227.1 thousand August 2024 order for procurement and air shipment of 13 doors and one polycarbonate door to the U.S. Embassy in Montevideo, Uruguay; a $114.3 thousand July 2024 order for metal door screens for international embassies; and a $552.98 thousand award (cited in multiple award summaries as a defining large contract) for design and construction of Compound Emergency Sanctuaries in Bamako, Mali. Performance locations span Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America; places of performance in source data include Hanover, Maryland (primary manufacturing); Honduras; Kenya; India; South Africa; and dozens of other international embassy locations.

Parent vehicle concentration is moderate. The vendor places 44 task orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract SALMEC05D0063 (combined potential value $20 million) and 19 task orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract SAQMMA11D0063 (combined potential value $15.7 million), with both vehicles issued by the State Department. Remaining activity scatters across individual purchase orders and smaller IDCs.

Activity profile shows recent volatility. The vendor received 20 awards in 2022, dropped to 2 in 2023, surged to 45 in 2024, contracted to 26 in 2025, and has received 17 through August 2026. Combined potential value is $98.8 million across all awards, with $43.1 million obligated (44% realization). Only 2 awards (combined potential value $120 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next 24 months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.

The subcontract footprint is negligible: the source identifies only 2 sub-awards totaling less than $1 million, both recent (2023–2024), one to General Dynamics Information Technology for global security engineering and supply-chain services, and one to V2X Systems for LOGCAP V logistics support in Kuwait. The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime supplier rather than a teaming partner.

The vendor brings 25 years of federal registration and over 50 prior prime federal contracts to each new award, with demonstrated reliability in delivering specialized metal fabrication to State Department embassy infrastructure missions globally. Narrower customer concentration and flat-to-declining recent volume suggest dependency on a single government customer with episodic, project-driven purchasing patterns rather than sustained contract vehicles or multi-agency reach.
