Industrial Metal Sales LLC

Industrial Metal Sales LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and manufacturer based in Mount Clemens, Michigan, supplies specialized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and nonferrous metal alloys to the federal government as a prime contractor under blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) and purchase orders. The company competes exclusively under small business set-asides — 100% of its award footprint is prime work, with total small business designations predominating across the Army and Navy customer base.

Industrial Metal Sales holds three principal BPA vehicles anchoring its federal business. A $7.5 million multiple-award BPA with the Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (awarded March 2022, running through March 2027) supplies specialty steel rounds, tubes, sheets, and plates to the Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center and Rock Island Arsenal; 89 task orders under a legacy Army BPA (W9098S11A0025) carry a combined potential value of $1.5 million. A $7.5 million multiple-award BPA with NASA Langley Research Center (awarded March 2025, through March 2030) procures aluminum alloys, carbon steels, copper alloys, nickel alloys, and stainless steel stock for aeronautics research and development, with 25 task orders under a related vehicle (NNL16AA00Z) valued at $710 thousand. A $5 million indefinite delivery contract with Naval Air Systems Command (referenced across recent awards but not explicitly detailed in the IDV section) supports naval aviation materials requirements. Recent concrete work examples include a $107,979 BPA call (June 2025) for cold-rolled A286 alloy round steel bars meeting AS9100 and AMS5737 specifications to TACOM, a $97,200 purchase order (June 2025) for 4,500 pounds of HY-80 ingots supporting M109 gun mount production at Rock Island Arsenal, and a $64,086 BPA call (December 2025) for carbon steel products to TACOM.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to defense and aerospace. The Department of the Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command dominates the footprint: 233 awards (50% of the total) carrying $52.2 million in combined potential value (68% of total portfolio dollars). The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command / Naval Air Warfare Center accounts for 64 awards with $17.5 million combined potential value. NASA Langley Research Center represents 61 awards but only $889 thousand in combined potential value, indicating a pattern of smaller individual calls against the larger BPA ceiling. These three customers together cover 94% of the combined potential value across the entire portfolio. Downstream, the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice carry material order count (33 and 23 awards respectively) but negligible dollar impact.

Activity has remained episodic but consistent. Awards per year ranged from 3 in 2022 to 12 in 2024, with 11 orders in 2025 and only 2 recorded in the first quarter of 2026 (the source date is July 2026, so the year is incomplete). Combined potential value across all 468 awards reaches $77.4 million, though only $15.4 million (20% of potential) has been obligated, reflecting the BPA structure's reliance on small-dollar call orders. The recompete cliff ahead carries minimal exposure — only one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and a combined potential value of $23 thousand.

By product, Industrial Metal Sales' award footprint is concentrated in bars and rods (105 awards), structural shapes and nonferrous base metals (91 awards), pipe and tubing (60 awards), and plate and sheet (55 and 53 awards respectively) across NAICS codes spanning iron and steel mills, aluminum sheet and plate manufacturing, and nonferrous metal rolling and extrusion. The company sources materials from its Mount Clemens facility and manages ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications to meet aerospace and defense specifications. Place of performance is consistently Mount Clemens, Michigan, with materials delivered to Army, Navy, and NASA locations nationwide.
