J G Edelen Co Inc.

J G Edelen Co Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation hardware manufacturer and distributor based in Essex, Maryland, operates exclusively as a prime contractor supplying hardware, veneer, and related materials to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons under multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts, with no subcontracting activity in its federal portfolio.

The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Bureau of Prisons system. Across 1,997 prime awards, the top five BOP components account for 77 percent of award count: Federal Correctional Institution Ashland (467 awards, $5.1 million combined potential value), Federal Correctional Complex Forrest City (366 awards, $1.9 million), Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood (322 awards, $558 thousand), the Bureau of Prisons undesignated (272 awards, $2.2 million), and Bureau of Prisons Central Office (102 awards, $6.2 million). By potential value, the rankings shift slightly, with the Central Office anchoring $6.2 million across 102 awards—a reflection of higher-value task orders compared to the facility-level orders. This split between high-volume, lower-dollar delivery orders at individual facilities and concentrated value at Central Office represents the vendor's role as a standardized hardware supplier across the federal correctional system.

J G Edelen's award portfolio is built on five primary parent vehicles, all single-award or multiple-award IDIQs issued by the Bureau of Prisons: the BOP Hardware Items IDIQ 2016-2021 (423 task orders, $3 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract DJU4600001803 (310 task orders, $2.7 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract 15UC0C21D00001511 (129 task orders, $3.3 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract DJU4600003922 (407 task orders, $778 thousand), and Indefinite Delivery Contract DJU4600003962 (314 task orders, $639 thousand). A single-award IDIQ with the Bureau of Prisons Central Office valued at $4.73 million and extending through June 30, 2026, authorizes hardware for furniture manufacturing and facility maintenance across multiple BOP locations including Ashland, Allenwood, Beckley, Coleman, El Reno, Forrest City, and Milan; this vehicle carries firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $100 to approximately $88,000, with a standard 10-day delivery timeframe for orders up to $5,000.

The vendor competes in the open market without set-aside designation on individual delivery orders. The underlying IDIQ is designated a total small business set-aside, but the individual task orders issued under it do not carry set-aside protection, indicating J G Edelen qualifies as a small business but does not restrict competition through SBA socioeconomic programs. The vendor's NAICS footprint is dominated by hardware manufacturing (1,616 awards) and bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing (81 awards), with PSC coding split between hardware commercial (1,885 awards) and minor categories such as abrasive materials and fastening devices. Recent activity is steady but modest: 27 awards in 2022, 30 in 2023, 30 in 2024, 23 in 2025, and 6 in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across the full 1,997-award portfolio is $19 million, with $9.9 million obligated, representing 52 percent invoice-to-potential conversion. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal—only 2 awards totaling $34 thousand face completion and recompete risk in that window—suggesting contract vehicle stability through mid-2026.
