Lockmasters Inc.

Lockmasters Inc., doing business as Lockmasters Security Institute, manufactures and distributes basic self-contained combination locks for security cabinets and delivers locksmith training services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across full-and-open competition vehicles, competing without reliance on small business set-asides. The Kentucky-based for-profit corporation has generated $22 million in combined potential value across 907 prime and sub awards since 2000, with a sharp acceleration in 2025 (369 awards) and 2026 year-to-date (187 awards), obligating $12 million to date.

Lockmasters' capability portfolio centers on two core lines: security hardware manufacturing (631 awards under NAICS Hardware Manufacturing) and specialized locksmith training and certification services (58 awards under All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction). Concrete representative work includes hundreds of combination lock BPA calls under the GSA Federal Acquisition Service BPAS vehicle, ranging from $1,071 to $53,550 per call and available for direct delivery to military and civilian customers outside the standard Federal Supply Schedule; a $100,000 call order from the Department of Defense Joint Munitions Command on January 5, 2026, for equipment used by locksmith operations; a $67,500 locksmith training BPA call from Air Combat Command (Air Force Air Education and Training Command) in March 2026 for GSA-certified Safe and Vault Technician and Professional Locksmithing courses; a $5,900 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for SAP locksmithing class training; and a $53,867 purchase order from the Department of the Army for key management cabinets and on-site training support (July 2026). A $6,500 Coast Guard purchase order (July 2026) covered locksmith training and related security services.

Customer concentration heavily favors the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (530 awards, $4.7 million potential value) through high-volume, low-value BPA calls that dominate by count but do not dominate by dollars. United States Special Operations Command (39 awards, $5.1 million potential value) anchors the largest dollar share despite lower order count, reflecting specialized security requirements for special operations facilities. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command (15 awards, $2.7 million potential value) and the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation (29 awards, $1.8 million potential value) round out the tier-one customers. Concentration by potential value (73% across top five customers) indicates meaningful customer diversity below the top tier.

Lockmasters' primary parent vehicle is Blanket Purchase Agreement 47QSSC25T000U, a $1 million multiple-award GSA FAS BPAS (Blanket Purchase Agreement for Security) awarded January 21, 2025, through January 20, 2026, under which 525 task orders have been issued with $1.8 million combined potential value. The company also holds a $900,000 Federal Supply Schedule contract (Multiple Award Schedule, or MAS) awarded by GSA FAS on February 26, 2026, through February 25, 2031, covering combination locks and locksmith training services. Secondary vehicles include Indefinite Delivery Contract H9224021D0008 (21 task orders, $784 thousand potential value) and Blanket Purchase Agreement DJF171200S0001795 (10 task orders, $1.4 million potential value) with the Department of Justice FBI. The company also holds a $750,000 BPA with the Department of the Army Joint Munitions Command and a $375,000 BPA with the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (AETC), both for locksmith training and security hardware procurement.

Activity has expanded sharply: four awards in 2022, ten in 2023, 29 in 2024, then 369 in 2025 and 187 in 2026 year-to-date (through July 15, 2026). Twelve awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $251,000 and represent recompete exposure. The company performs as a subcontractor to General Dynamics Information Technology (Global Security Engineering and Supply Chain Services, multiple awards 2025–2026), M.C. Dean Inc. (Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center Phase 1.2 security site survey and design), KBR Wyle Services LLC (labor services), Amentum Services Inc. (command and control door hardware), and Fluor Marine Propulsion LLC (Naval Nuclear Laboratory and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program support). The company also appears on an Army ITES-3S (Information Technology Enterprise Solutions-3 Services) MAIDIQ contract as of May 2025, one of 135 ITES-3S awards supporting Army enterprise IT and cybersecurity services.

Lockmasters competes entirely in full and open competition across civilian and defense sectors without use of small business set-asides. Place of performance is primarily Nicholasville, Kentucky, with specific exceptions including Washington, DC (Army key management cabinets), Arlington, Virginia (Bureau of Overseas Building Operations metal door screens for embassies), Las Vegas, Nevada (NAVSEA locksmith training), and nationwide for GSA schedule ordering. The company has maintained SAM.gov registration since January 2006 and holds UEI W7H9LMGJUFQ9.
