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 and certification services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing under full-and-open competition with no reliance on small business set-asides. The company is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Nicholasville, Kentucky, classified primarily under NAICS 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing) with secondary coding in education and training services.

Lockmasters' federal footprint centers on high-volume, low-value security hardware procurement across civilian and defense agencies. The vendor manufactures combination locks meeting Federal Specification FF-L-2740B for security cabinet applications and holds certification to deliver GSA-approved Safe and Vault Technician and Professional Locksmithing courses. Representative prime work includes 635 BPA calls under the GSA Federal Acquisition Service Blanket Purchase Agreement for Security (BPAS 47QSSC25T000U) ranging from $1,071 to $53,550 per order for combination locks; a $100,000 Department of Defense Joint Munitions Command call for locksmith equipment awarded in January 2026; a $67,500 Air Force Air Education and Training Command call for locksmith training courses in March 2026; a $53,867 Army order for key management cabinets with on-site training support awarded July 9, 2026; a $51,550 Air Force Materiel Command definitive contract for vault doors to Hill Air Force Base awarded July 7, 2026; and a $22,792 Department of Energy purchase order for security door installation at Oak Ridge, Tennessee awarded September 18, 2026. Lockmasters also received a $6,500 Coast Guard purchase order for locksmith training services in July 2026 and a $5,000 Bureau of Overseas Building Operations order for metal door screens for international embassies in May 2026.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward GSA Federal Acquisition Service, which accounts for 640 awards (73% of award count) carrying $5.1 million combined potential value across the portfolio. Within GSA FAS, the BPAS vehicle alone represents 635 task orders with $2.2 million in combined potential value. United States Special Operations Command ranks second by dollar value with 38 awards worth $4.3 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army Joint Munitions Command with 15 awards valued at $2.7 million. The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation accounts for 29 awards valued at $1.8 million, and DOD Washington Headquarters Service contributes 15 awards at $1.8 million. Together, the top five customers represent 69% of combined potential value.

Lockmasters holds two principal contracting vehicles. A $1 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for Security (BPAS 47QSSC25T000U) awarded January 21, 2025, through January 20, 2026, by GSA Federal Acquisition Service has generated 635 task orders with $2.2 million combined potential value as of the source date. The Federal Supply Schedule (MAS) contract, awarded February 26, 2026, carries a $900,000 ceiling through February 25, 2031, and authorizes ordering of combination locks and locksmith training services across federal agencies with nationwide ordering capability. Lockmasters also operates under The Professional Services Schedule with 39 task orders valued at $992 thousand, along with two indefinite delivery contracts under Department of Justice vehicles (H9224021D0008 with 21 task orders at $784 thousand, and H9224016D0002 with 12 task orders at $615 thousand).

Award activity has accelerated sharply in recent years. From 2022 through 2024, Lockmasters averaged 18 awards annually; in 2025, activity jumped to 370 awards, and through October 2026, the vendor has received 298 awards. The combined potential value across all 1,019 prime and sub awards totals $22.4 million, with $12.5 million obligated as of the source date (56% obligation rate). Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — only three awards totaling $82 thousand reach ultimate completion within that window.

In its subcontractor role, Lockmasters provides security hardware and installation services to Fluor Marine Propulsion on Naval Nuclear Laboratory support, to General Dynamics Information Technology on global security engineering and supply chain services, to Amentum Services on command-and-control door systems with hollow metal frames and hardware, and to M.C. Dean on FAA facility security design work. The sub footprint is proportionally small (25 sub awards, or 2% of total), reflecting Lockmasters' positioning as a product manufacturer and direct-to-customer service provider rather than as a systems integrator.

Lockmasters' competitive posture is full-and-open, with no awards carrying small business set-aside designations. The vendor competes on hardware commodity pricing and training service capability rather than small disadvantaged business or other SBA designations. NAICS coding shows 741 awards under Hardware Manufacturing (332510), 57 under Hardware Merchant Wholesalers (425120), and 21 under Locksmiths (561622), with 58 awards in schools and instruction categories and 44 in professional training. PSC concentration is similarly straightforward: 768 awards under Hardware, Commercial (5305), with training and curriculum development making up the remainder. This profile reflects a vendor built on manufacturing throughput and field training delivery rather than on system integration or managed services.
