About the company
Fried Bros Inc., a Philadelphia-based for-profit distributor of security hardware and locksmith supplies, supplies padlocks, locks, and security equipment to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) under full-and-open competition without set-aside designation. The company has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and operates across twenty-five distinct customer agencies with a recent prime footprint centered on hardware procurement via the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and Defense Logistics Agency purchasing vehicles.
Fried Bros Inc.'s capability portfolio is narrowly defined around locks and security hardware: master padlocks with reinforced laminated steel construction, moisture-resistant pro-series locks, electromagnet locks, lockout/tagout devices, rim lock sets, and related supplies. Representative work includes a $37,083 delivery order from the Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service for high-moisture pro-series master locks (completed December 2023), a $24,844.20 purchase order from USDA FSIS for FSIS-compliant lockout/tagout and moisture locks (September 2025), a $16,184.48 purchase order from the Smithsonian Institution for replacement lock-shop parts at the National Museum of Natural History (March 2026), and a $14,909.40 purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for electromagnet locks under a Total Small Business set-aside (August 2023). Two recent delivery orders in August 2026 through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule totaled approximately $19,589 for master padlocks with reinforced steel pin tumbler construction.
Customer concentration is fragmented across multiple small orders. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service leads by potential value at $837 thousand across six awards (51% of the top-customer concentration threshold), while the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware ranks first by order count (15 awards, $25 thousand). The Smithsonian Institution follows with thirteen awards totaling $102 thousand. The top five customer organizations account for 51% of awards and 81% of combined potential value, indicating that Fried Bros Inc. operates as a routine vendor of low-to-mid-value consumable hardware across many agencies rather than anchoring its revenue to one or two large customers. Work routes through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (13 task orders, $139 thousand combined potential value) and a DLA Basic Ordering Agreement (5 task orders). Recent activity shows two awards in 2025 and three in 2026, following a higher-volume 2023 with seven awards. The company carries one subcontract award as a supplier of locks and door-bar inventory to Fluor Marine Propulsion LLC under the Naval Nuclear Laboratory contract.
