Gardner Metals, Inc.

Gardner Metals, Inc., doing business as Page Lumber & Supply, supplies building materials, lumber, hardware, plumbing, and HVAC supplies to the Indian Health Service as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price blanket purchase agreements and purchase orders, with no small business set-aside designation across its federal footprint. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Page, Arizona, registered in SAM.gov since September 2013, competing in the full-and-open market without SBA certifications.

Gardner Metals operates exclusively in the civilian federal space, with 12 of 13 total awards flowing from the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service and one award from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation. The Indian Health Service accounts for 100% of the award count and 81% of combined potential value ($269 thousand of $332 thousand across the portfolio). Work is concentrated at three health center locations in the southwestern region: Inscription House Health Center in Tonalea, Arizona; Kayenta Health Center in Page, Arizona; and the Kayenta Health Center Quarters facilities. Representative recent awards include a $39 thousand BPA modification awarded April 15, 2026, for miscellaneous material supplies to support IHS Quarters facilities in Page through April 2029; a $59.5 thousand purchase order modification exercising option year 2 of the Inscription House Health Center BPA for clinic supplies, awarded May 31, 2024, through May 2027; and a $59.5 thousand BPA modification for Inscription House Health Center Quarters, also awarded May 31, 2024, completing May 2027. Awards are non-competitive and issued pursuant to IHS special notices identifying Gardner Metals as a pre-qualified vendor alongside competitors such as HHB Builders and Gallup Lumber & Supply.

Activity has remained modest and sporadic — one award in 2021, two in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, and one in 2026 — with combined potential value of $332 thousand and $305 thousand actually obligated across the portfolio. Two awards carrying combined potential value of $119 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. Gardner Metals does not subcontract and operates as a sole prime across all awards. The vendor's category concentration aligns with its core offering: four awards each under Cut Stock, Resawing Lumber, and Planing (NAICS 321113) and Hardware Stores (NAICS 444130), with ten of thirteen awards classified under Miscellaneous Construction Materials (PSC group 24).
