K-D-L Hardware Supply, Inc.

K-D-L Hardware Supply, Inc., an SBA-certified veteran-owned small business (VOSB) headquartered in Seattle, Washington, supplies security hardware — locks, padlocks, lock cores, keys, hasps, electronic locking systems, and access control components — to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 100% full-and-open and small-business-set-aside delivery orders and purchase orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and direct agency contracts. The vendor does not subcontract; all 612 awards in the source record are prime contracts.

The vendor's customer footprint spans 106 distinct federal agencies, but concentration is severe. The top five customers by award count account for 44% of all awards, led by Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware (156 awards, $1.2 million combined potential value), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (41 awards, $351 thousand), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (30 awards, $473 thousand). By dollar value, however, the picture shifts dramatically: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates with 11 awards carrying $19.2 million in combined potential value — 84% concentration among the top five funding sources. This divergence reflects K-D-L's role as a high-volume transactional supplier to DLA (small-dollar purchase orders and delivery orders, often in the hundreds of dollars) and as a provider of larger facility-security solutions to GSA and federal agencies with direct facility lock and key requirements. Naval Sea Systems Command (21 awards, $35 thousand), the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (19 awards, $163 thousand), and the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration (6 awards, $319 thousand) round out the active customer set.

K-D-L's vehicle position is narrow: 155 task orders sit on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with subordinate work under direct agency IDCs and BPAs. Representative recent work includes a $35.3 thousand Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in March 2025 for CORMAX BEST lock cores, keys, and padlocks at the Lake Washington Ship Canal in Seattle; a $155.7 thousand delivery order from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in September 2021 for locks and keys; a $5.9 thousand delivery order from the Drug Enforcement Administration in September 2024 for cipher locks under the GSA MAS; and a $41.2 thousand purchase order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command in September 2021 for Medeco D4 mortise cylinders under the Department of Defense Lock Program.

Activity has remained light and variable: one award in 2022, two in 2023, five in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined potential value sits at $25.6 million, but only $5.9 million (23%) has been obligated. The vendor's award history extends to at least 2003. Product categories concentrate in hardware manufacturing (187 awards), communications equipment manufacturing (162 awards), and fastener manufacturing (21 awards); PSC concentration runs to hardware commercial items (374 awards) and security detection systems (45 awards).
