Metal Men LLC

Metal Men LLC, a Baltimore, Maryland–based SBA 8(a) certified minority-owned and small disadvantaged business, provides mechanical construction, HVAC repair, and facility maintenance services to federal civilian agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The company holds no subcontract work in the source data and operates as a limited liability company with SBA 8(a) certification through April 2032 and additional DOT Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise status.

Metal Men LLC's customer footprint is highly concentrated in the National Institutes of Health. The four funding entities that account for 100% of recent awards are all NIH offices: the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (12 awards, $11.8 million combined potential value), NIH Construction (23 awards, $2.9 million), the NIH Office of the Director (4 awards, $366 thousand), and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Central Office (1 award, $185 thousand). The Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations dominates by dollar value despite lower award count, anchored by a $5.5 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract for mechanical and minor mechanical construction services running through April 30, 2031. Recent concrete work includes a $1.126 million definitive contract for office and kitchen renovation in NIH Building 3, 5th Floor (award September 15, 2026), a $288.5 million-ceiling definitive contract for Building 6A air handling unit repairs (September 26, 2024), a $280.6 million delivery order for pump, piping, and component installation (May 27, 2026), a $205.4 million temporary HVAC upgrade (April 17, 2026), and a $186.4 million cooling coil replacement on Building 62's north side tower under 8(a) sole source set-aside (May 1, 2026). Smaller scope work—vacuum pump replacements, steam leak repairs, control valve installations, hot water line repairs, and air handling unit component replacements—characterizes the bulk of task orders and purchase orders, typically ranging from $17 thousand to $86 thousand per order.

Metal Men LLC's activity accelerated sharply in 2026: one award in 2023, eight in 2024, five in 2025, and twenty-six in 2026 to date. Fourteen awards with combined potential value of $2.5 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete. The company holds a single indefinite-delivery contract vehicle—the $5.5 million mechanical IDIQ for minor mechanical construction services—from which sixteen task orders have been issued. One concurrent single-award IDIQ was awarded April 30, 2026, with the same contract line, ceiling, and performance period. Neither IDIQs nor any delivery orders have been issued under set-aside designations; however, the source names seven purchase orders and two definitive contracts explicitly marked 8(a) sole source, indicating selective use of set-aside authority for high-complexity or urgent-timeline work. Metal Men LLC does not hold a position on any government-wide acquisition contract, GSA Schedule, or multi-agency BPA vehicle; all awards are agency-specific to NIH and NRC. The vendor's capability portfolio aligns with NAICS 236220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and PSC codes emphasizing construction and repair of miscellaneous and office buildings, with work performed exclusively at NIH's Bethesda, Maryland campus and NRC facilities in the Maryland region.
