About the company
Hard Chrome Specialists, Inc. is a small business subchapter S corporation based in York, Pennsylvania, that specializes in metal plating and treatment services for the federal government. The company holds a UEI of LVLMLNLXFW56 and has been registered in SAM.gov since May 26, 1998, with its current registration expiring on July 29, 2026. Hard Chrome Specialists provides critical metal finishing services, including hard chrome plating, surface treatments, and precision metal coating, primarily supporting the Department of Defense. These specialized services are essential for the restoration, protection, and maintenance of military equipment components required for depot-level operations and equipment readiness.
Hard Chrome Specialists has demonstrated consistent performance across numerous federal contract awards spanning from 2021 through September 2025. The company has primarily served the Army Contracting Command (ACC) Redstone through recurring blanket purchase agreement (BPA) task orders for metal plating and treatment services at Letterkenny Army Depot, with individual call values ranging from approximately $250 to $14,319 under its $374,000 master BPA. These awards predominantly support the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) program, a Major Defense Acquisition Program managed by the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office Missiles and Space. Beyond its primary Army work, the company has also received significant purchase orders from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) for specialized piston rod re-chroming services, including a $40,525 award in September 2023 and a $69,875 award in May 2023 for piston rod delivery to the Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic in Mayport, Florida. Additionally, Hard Chrome Specialists has completed delivery orders for ACC Redstone valued between $15,000 and $30,000 for non-standard repair and hard chrome plating requirements. The company has also fulfilled a $5,200 purchase order from Aviation and a $2,651.25 award from the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex for chrome plating of parts. The vast majority of Hard Chrome Specialists' contract awards have been designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting the company's status and the government's commitment to utilizing small business resources for these specialized metal finishing services.
Hard Chrome Specialists holds a single prime federal contract indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV): a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $374,000 with the Army Contracting Command (ACC) Redstone, awarded on September 6, 2023, and extending through September 5, 2028. This BPA provides metal plating and treatment services for various program parts at Letterkenny Army Depot, with a primary focus on supporting the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) program. The IDV was awarded as a total small business set-aside and serves as the vehicle under which ACC Redstone has issued numerous firm fixed-price task orders throughout the contract period, streamlining procurement processes while ensuring efficient access to Hard Chrome Specialists' specialized metal finishing capabilities. The structure of this BPA enables the Army to procure metal plating, treatment, and coating services without requiring separate competitive solicitations for each individual requirement, thereby maintaining cost effectiveness and quality assurance for critical military equipment maintenance and manufacturing operations. While the BPA is classified as a multiple-award vehicle, Hard Chrome Specialists' documented task order performance demonstrates sustained utilization by ACC Redstone for these specialized metal treatment services essential to Letterkenny Army Depot's operations and the broader PAC-3 MSE program.
