Metal Men LLC

Metal Men LLC, an SBA 8(a)-certified minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Baltimore, Maryland, provides mechanical construction, HVAC repair, facility maintenance, and infrastructure services to federal civilian agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The company holds a DOT Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise designation and competes under 8(a) sole-source and competitive set-asides for approximately 40% of its recent awards; the remainder are full-and-open acquisitions that leverage its 8(a) eligibility.

Metal Men's customer base is concentrated with two divisions of the National Institutes of Health. NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations accounts for 11 awards and $11.9 million in combined potential value, while NIH Construction accounts for 16 awards and $967 thousand, collectively representing 100% of Metal Men's federal footprint. A single award from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Central Office ($185 thousand) for HVAC replacement rounds out the customer set. The concentration is asymmetric by dollar value — the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations dominates potential value despite NIH Construction holding a higher award count.

Metal Men's capability portfolio centers on field mechanical work: HVAC system repairs and replacements, pump installations and replacements (ejector pumps, secondary pumps, vacuum pumps, sanitary pit pumps), piping and valve installations, air handling unit repairs, steam system maintenance, and facility infrastructure upgrades. Representative prime work includes a $288.5 thousand 8(a) sole-source definitive contract for Building 6A AHU repairs awarded by NIH Construction in September 2024; a $251.6 thousand delivery order from NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations in May 2026 for installation of pumps, piping, fittings, and components; a $185.3 thousand 8(a) sole-source purchase order from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in September 2024 for HVAC replacement in two buildings; and a $5.5 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded by NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations on April 30, 2026, for minor mechanical construction services through April 2031, which carries five task orders totaling $505 thousand in combined potential value.

Activity has accelerated sharply — one award in 2023, eight in 2024, five in 2025, and fourteen in 2026 year to date. Nine awards with combined potential value of $817 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure. The vendor's footprint is 100% prime; no subcontract activity appears in the source. Metal Men competes predominantly under NAICS 236222 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and PSC group codes for building repair and alteration, reflecting its specialization in federal facility maintenance rather than new construction or design services.
