MBA Usa, Inc.

MBA USA Inc., a for-profit small business based in Nicholasville, Kentucky, supplies physical security hardware (rim locks, padlocks, combination locks, safe materials, and related fasteners) and delivers GSA Certified locksmith and safe-technician training to the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor (81% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin on specialized security training and facility support work.

The vendor competes primarily full-and-open with no set-aside designations on most work, though a recent $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (awarded July 2025 through July 2026) carries a Total Small Business set-aside for rim lock procurement. MBA USA Inc. has maintained active SAM.gov registration since October 2001 and holds no formal SBA certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB designations.

Customer concentration centers on defense logistics and training. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 64% of recent awards, led by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (20 awards, $617 thousand potential value) and United States Special Operations Command (18 awards, $736 thousand potential value), followed by Air Combat Command (8 awards, $693 thousand potential value), Naval Sea Systems Command (7 awards, $20 thousand potential value), and Air Mobility Command (5 awards, $65 thousand potential value). The two rankings align closely — DLA and ACC dominate both volume and dollars — but USSOCOM's award count exceeds its potential-value share, indicating a pattern of smaller unit orders. Notably, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division appears in the top-five customers by potential value (2 awards, $132 thousand) despite lower award frequency, driven by a $124 thousand purchase order for KABA MAS X10 combination locks (October 2022). The vendor also holds work with Naval Sea Systems Command, U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces, and U.S. Mission in South Sudan, diversifying its customer base across Navy, Army, Air Force, and civilian agencies.

Vehicle position centers on two primary IDVs. A $250,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime (July 2025–July 2026) carries 17 task orders under PSC 53-P (hardware and abrasives) for rim lock procurement to CONUS and OCONUS DoD logistics depots. A $375,000 multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Air Combat Command (April 2023–March 2028) generates 6 task orders ($208 thousand combined potential value) for GSA Locksmith Training services; this BPA anchors the vendor's training business. Two additional vehicles appear in the portfolio: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE7L425D62FM) with 4 task orders ($249 thousand potential value) and a Federal Supply Schedule seat (GS02F0130N) with 2 task orders. The combined potential value across all awards sits at approximately $2 million, with actual dollars obligated at $3.1 million (156% of combined potential value), indicating that invoiced revenue significantly exceeds ceiling estimates.

Activity trajectory shows growth through 2025 with modest recent volume. Awards per year increased from 5 in 2022 to 18 in 2025; 2026 year-to-date (through March) shows 4 awards. The recompete cliff is minimal: only 1 award ($48 thousand potential value) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, reflecting a stable contract footprint with limited near-term recompete pressure. The vendor's award mix by NAICS reflects its dual business lines: Hardware Manufacturing (26 awards), Service Establishment Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (16 awards), All Other Support Services (16 awards), and All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction (11 awards). By PSC, Hardware Commercial (32 awards) dominates, with Training Aids (8 awards) and Education/Training—Vocational/Technical (4 awards) supporting the locksmith and safe-technician training portfolio.

In its subcontractor role, MBA USA Inc. delivers specialized security training to Lockheed Martin under a Hardened Facility Support contract (option years two and three through at least March 2026), performing work such as safe drilling, custom lever lock instruction, security container defeat training, and facility-security instruction. This sub relationship spans from at least July 2022 through the present, with multiple incremental funding modifications and option-year executions indicating sustained demand. No other named prime contractors appear in the source.

The vendor's concrete capability portfolio centers on physical-security hardware procurement and specialized federal security training. Representative prime work includes rim lock supply orders under the DLA IDC ($108 thousand, $53 thousand, $30 thousand delivery orders from December 2025 through October 2025); a KABA MAS X10 combination lock purchase order from FBI Headquarters Division ($124 thousand, October 2022); safe drawer material for USS Theodore Roosevelt from U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces ($24 thousand, September 2025); and multiple BPA calls from Air Combat Command for GSA Locksmith Training ($49 thousand, $47 thousand, $35 thousand, $33 thousand, and $31 thousand orders, ranging from January 2025 through May 2024). Training services include GSA Certified Safe and Vault Technician courses and Professional Locksmithing courses delivered to Naval Sea Systems Command ($4.6 thousand, March 2024; $2.9 thousand, March 2023) and Air Combat Command's broader locksmith-training BPA.
