Frham Safety Products LLC

Frham Safety Products Inc., a Nashville, Tennessee-based small business manufacturer of specialized radiation safety equipment and nuclear protective apparel, operates as a prime contractor on 98% of its federal awards, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on Navy nuclear programs. The company is a child entity within a larger Frham Safety Products Inc. corporate structure organized as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation.

Frham's capability portfolio centers on radiation containment and personnel protection equipment for Navy nuclear propulsion and weapons operations. Representative work includes a $1.328 million firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) for 1,160 plastic containers supporting the RADCON program (March 2025), a $743,786 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) for bagsuits and hoods (September 2025), a $257,730 purchase order from NAVSUP for radioactive arm sleeves (May 2023), and a $220,745 BPA call order from NAVSUP for radiation arm sleeves (July 2023). The company manufactures radioactive shoecovers, radiation glove inserts, powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs), padded containment bags, canvas swipes, HEPA filters, and arm sleeves—items engineered for Navy nuclear environments where design source approval and specialized manufacturing knowledge are required.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Navy accounts for 99% of recent awards: Naval Supply Systems Command holds 193 awards worth $53.7 million combined potential value, and Naval Sea Systems Command holds 52 awards worth $3.1 million. The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention together account for six awards of negligible value. This single-customer dependence on Navy nuclear programs defines Frham's posture in the federal market.

Frham operates under a cornerstone $20 million single-award blanket purchase agreement with NAVSUP (awarded December 2022, expiring December 2027) covering Federal Supply Classification 4820 (whole body valves and valve piece parts) for the RADCON program. This BPA anchors recurring work and streamlines procurement of critical protective equipment. In the past year, multiple BPA call orders have been placed under this vehicle and predecessor BPAs: Blanket Purchase Agreement N0010418ABN01 carries 31 task orders worth $1.5 million combined potential value, and Blanket Purchase Agreement N0010423ASK01 carries 5 task orders worth $534 thousand. The company also places work under Indefinite Delivery Contract SPMYM215D0014 (21 task orders, $209 thousand). All work is awarded on a total small business set-aside basis except for two NAVSEA purchase orders (totaling approximately $530 thousand) issued with no set-aside designation.

Activity has been volatile but remains active. The company received 13 awards in 2023, 12 in 2024, and 11 in 2025, suggesting sustained but flat demand. Only one award appears in the source data for 2026 (as of February 2026). The recompete cliff is minimal—only one award with combined potential value of $78 thousand reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating low near-term recompete exposure relative to the vendor's base.

Frham subcontracts to Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC on the company's Y-12 National Security Complex and Pantex Plant management and operating contract (five sub-awards between December 2023 and December 2024), supplying specialized protective equipment to Department of Energy nuclear weapons production sites. This represents the company's only visible sub-award footprint in recent data, comprising 2% of total awards and concentrated on a single prime.

NAICS and PSC coding reflects the product mix: All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing (89 awards), Other Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing (24 awards), and Rubber and Plastics Footwear Manufacturing (23 awards) dominate the NAICS profile, while Nuclear Reactors (104 awards) and Clothing, Special Purpose (45 awards) lead PSC concentration. These designations underscore Frham's specialization in Navy nuclear operations rather than breadth across federal safety or industrial markets.
