Hammer & Steel, Inc.

Hammer & Steel, Inc. is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that supplies construction and mining equipment, machinery parts, and hydraulic components to federal agencies as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards), with sporadic activity spanning three decades and minimal recent volume. The vendor operates under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across its footprint.

Hammer & Steel's award portfolio reflects a small-dollar, equipment-supply posture. Recent prime work includes two purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime in 2022 for machine thread plugs—one valued at $4,085 (ultimate completion November 2022) and one with no stated ceiling (completed September 2022). Across its full source history, Hammer & Steel has delivered construction machinery rentals and leasing services (six awards under NAICS 333120), crane and hydraulic fittings (two awards under PSC 4610), and sheet metal and fabrication work (two awards) to a diffuse set of federal customers over more than thirty years.

Customer concentration is low and scattered across interior and maritime agencies. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation leads with four awards carrying $141 thousand in combined potential value, followed by the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (two awards, $18 thousand) and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (three awards, $9 thousand). These top three account for 58% of awards and 85% of combined potential value. The vendor serves eleven distinct federal agencies in total.

Activity is episodic and declining. Awards appear sporadically (one in 2014, one in 2016, one in 2018, two in 2022, one in 2025), with no concentration in any single year. Combined potential value across all nineteen awards totals $254 thousand, while combined obligated dollars reach $568 thousand—indicating that actual spending has exceeded initial ceilings by 123%, a pattern typical of small-dollar purchase orders that run over estimate. Hammer & Steel's single subcontract role is a 2025 equipment supply task under 381 Constructors for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard dry dock work, valued at unspecified dollars. The vendor holds no parent-vehicle seats on GWACs, IDIQs, or government-wide BPAs.
