J G Edelen Co Inc.

J G Edelen Co Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation and small business hardware manufacturer based in Essex, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor supplying hardware and veneer exclusively to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons across multiple single-award and indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contracts. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides at the IDIQ level, though individual delivery orders often carry no set-aside designation. Over the past several years, J G Edelen has executed more than 2,000 prime awards with combined potential value of $19.3 million, of which $10.2 million has been obligated, with zero subcontracting activity.

Federal Correctional Institution Ashland dominates J G Edelen's customer concentration by both volume and dollars, with 473 awards valued at $5.4 million combined potential value, followed by Federal Correctional Complex Forrest City (368 awards, $1.9 million) and Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood (322 awards, $558 thousand). The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office ranks highest by potential value at $6.2 million across 102 awards, anchoring the parent IDIQ vehicle structure. These five entities account for 77% of the vendor's recent awards and 85% of combined potential value. J G Edelen's customer base remains narrowly concentrated within the BOP system; nine of ten distinct customer agencies named in the source are BOP facilities or the central office.

The vendor's primary contract vehicle is a single-award indefinite-delivery contract (15UC0C21D00001511) valued at $4.73 million, awarded July 2, 2021 and running through June 30, 2026, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and authorizing hardware for furniture manufacturing and facility maintenance across multiple BOP locations including Ashland, Allenwood, Beckley, Coleman, El Reno, Forrest City, and Milan. This vehicle carried 137 task orders valued at $3.6 million combined potential. J G Edelen also holds or has held multiple other single-award IDIQs with the BOP, including the predecessor BOP Hardware Items IDIQ 2016-2021 (423 task orders, $3 million potential value) and contracts DJU4600003922 (407 task orders, $778 thousand), DJU4600003962 (314 task orders, $639 thousand), and DJU4600001803 (310 task orders, $2.7 million). Individual delivery orders under these vehicles typically range from approximately $10,000 to $88,000, with some reaching $321,760.

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years, declining from 30 awards in 2023 to 14 in 2026 (through late September). The source carries awards dating to December 1993, indicating long-standing BOP supplier status since at least that period; SAM registration is noted as 2004. The vendor's primary NAICS concentration is Hardware Manufacturing (1,624 awards of 2,005 total), with PSC coding at 5,340 (Hardware, Commercial) accounting for 1,893 awards. Commodity portfolio centers on hinges, knobs, pulls, fasteners, and related hardware components for furniture manufacturing and facility maintenance. Representative recent orders include a $321,760.55 delivery order from FCI Ashland in May 2026 for hardware, an $88,470.95 order from the same facility in October 2023, and $73,253.60 and $87,826 orders from FCI Ashland in August and June 2023 respectively.
