K Machine & Tool Inc.

K Machine & Tool Inc. operates as a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, supplying precision-machined maritime fasteners, hardware, and specialized components to the U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor on a 100% prime footprint. The company is a Subchapter S corporation organized as a for-profit entity and competes predominantly under total small business and unrestricted set-asides, with no subcontract activity in the recent award record.

The company's federal capability portfolio centers entirely on fabrication and supply of specialized maritime hardware for Coast Guard surface vessel maintenance and fleet readiness. Representative work includes production of Talon helicopter landing grid stanchion bolts and locknuts in 316 stainless steel ($23,720 purchase order, July 2026); propeller nuts and self-locking hex nuts for 87-foot patrol boat vessels ($30,084 purchase order, June 2026); repair kits for chain stoppers, rod and seal assemblies, and wear strip assemblies ($57,197 to $145,299 per order across multiple 2022–2026 awards); and cathodic protection anode assemblies for patrol vessel hulls ($46,872 purchase order, February 2026). Work is performed in Lebanon, Pennsylvania with delivery to the Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center in Baltimore, Maryland. The vendor's primary NAICS categories are Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing (42 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (41 awards), Machine Shops (38 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (22 awards), with corresponding PSC concentration in Marine Hardware and Hull Items (38 awards) and Deck Machinery (28 awards).

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 239 of 299 total awards (80% of the award count) and $13.2 million of $14.4 million combined potential value, with the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command representing a single outlier award. This concentration reflects the vendor's specialized positioning as a dedicated supplier to Coast Guard vessel maintenance rather than a broad-market federal contractor.

K Machine & Tool places task orders under two Coast Guard indefinite delivery vehicles: a Blanket Purchase Agreement (HSCG4015A11008) anchoring 11 task orders worth $2.3 million and an IDC (70Z08020D17002B00) with 10 task orders totaling $218 thousand. A prior IDC valued at $1,455,378.56 running through May 2025 for parts and assemblies supporting 87-foot and 110-foot patrol boat cutters is referenced repeatedly across the award descriptions as the parent vehicle for delivery order issuance; this vehicle appears to have been succeeded or overlapped by the newer BPA. The vendor also holds a secondary IDC valued at $517,892 for buoy parts and castings, though recent activity concentrates on the primary cutter-support vehicles.

Activity has declined year over year from a peak of 17 awards in 2022 to 4 awards in 2026 (six months of data), with 13 awards in 2025 representing recovery. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with a combined potential value of $111 thousand, representing minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's $8.6 million in obligated dollars against $14.4 million potential value (60% realization rate) reflects typical Coast Guard purchase order execution cadence.

K Machine & Tool operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no recorded subcontract relationships in the source data, meaning the vendor neither subcontracts to larger primes nor carries significant subs itself—the company delivers end-item fabrication and assembly directly to the Coast Guard.
