About the company
Hughes Brothers Inc., a small business manufacturer of utility transmission infrastructure components, operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Owens Corning and competes exclusively as a prime contractor on federal supply contracts, 100% of recent awards held under total small business set-asides. The company manufactures wood and steel crossarms, X-braces, framing kits, and structure kits for high-voltage electrical transmission systems at its Seward, Nebraska facility and supplies these components to the Department of Energy's regional power administrations.
The vendor's customer base is highly concentrated in the Department of Energy. The Western Area Power Administration accounts for 118 awards (62% of all recent awards) with $36.1 million in combined potential value, anchoring the portfolio. The Southeastern Power Administration accounts for 6 awards totaling $769 thousand, with the remaining 13 awards distributed across other DOE entities. This extreme concentration—87% of combined potential value flows from WAPA and SEPA—reflects Hughes Brothers' established role as a primary infrastructure supplier to federal power agencies. Recent representative work includes a $881,151 delivery order from WAPA in August 2025 for crossarms and X-braces following June 2025 North Dakota weather events, a $372,610 purchase order from Southeastern Power Administration in September 2025 for steel crossarms across three maintenance sites in Arkansas and Oklahoma, and a $729,422 delivery order from WAPA in February 2022 for wood framing kit restocking.
Hughes Brothers holds two active parent IDIQs with WAPA. The first, a $7.5 million total small business set-aside awarded in March 2023 and running through March 7, 2028, has generated 65 task orders worth $5.1 million in combined potential value, supporting crossarm and brace supply across WAPA's Upper Great Plains, Rocky Mountain, and Desert Southwest service regions. The second, a newer $9 million total small business set-aside awarded in August 2026 and running through July 31, 2029, has already issued three delivery orders totaling $734,920 (for 345-kilovolt bundled framing kits, transmission line crossarm restocking, and 115/230-kilovolt crossarm structures). A third vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract DEWA0003680, has supported 47 task orders worth $5.4 million. The company also participates in two smaller IDIQs (89503423DWA000015 and 89503426DWA000025) with 22 and 4 task orders respectively. Across all four parent vehicles, Hughes Brothers has received multiple small business set-aside delivery orders priced firm fixed price, with individual task order values ranging from roughly $18,500 to $881,000.
Activity has remained steady at 7 to 11 awards annually over the past five years, with 220 total prime awards on record. Across the portfolio, engineering wood member manufacturing (NAICS 321215) and lumber and related basic wood materials (PSC 5510) dominate the category concentration. Only 8 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $1.4 million, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Hughes Brothers operates with no subcontract footprint; all work is performed as prime contractor at the Seward facility. The vendor's posture is exclusively small business set-aside competition, concentrated in total small business designated procurements. Obligated dollars total $19.8 million across the 220 awards, representing 47% of combined potential value, a pattern consistent with utility infrastructure supply where delivery orders are issued incrementally against IDIQ vehicles as inventory and maintenance needs arise.
