About the company
Metal Shorts, Inc., doing business as Metal Shorts Inc., is a woman-owned small business based in Tukwila, Washington that supplies metal plates, bars, coils, sheets, angles, and related fabricated metal products to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor, with 100% of its recent federal award footprint composed of prime purchase orders.
Metal Shorts is a Subchapter S Corporation and woman-owned business registered in SAM since 2002. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements — 97 of 104 recent awards carry no set-aside designation, though it has received Total Small Business set-aside purchase orders from the Naval Sea Systems Command. The company's capability portfolio centers on metal product distribution and supply for shipbuilding, maintenance, and repair operations, with specialization across steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and nonferrous materials. Representative recent work includes a $106,915.65 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command on August 18, 2025 for 3-inch CRES plate; a $69,725.15 Total Small Business set-aside order on August 13, 2025 for 6.50-inch steel plates; a $21,936.00 Total Small Business set-aside order on July 5, 2023 for metal plates; and a $20,730.00 purchase order on April 15, 2026 for metal plates, with performance in Garfield Heights, Ohio and completion targeted for May 7, 2026.
Customer concentration is nearly total: the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) represents 97 of 104 awards and $674 thousand of $706 thousand combined potential value. Four other Navy and defense agencies account for the remainder — the U.S. Coast Guard (2 awards, $9 thousand), Strategic Systems Programs (2 awards, $4 thousand), Pacific Fleet Forces (2 awards, $8 thousand), and the Army Corps of Engineers (1 award, $10 thousand). Award activity has remained flat at five to six awards per year over the past five years, with 104 total awards recorded since 2005 and combined potential value of $706 thousand. Metal Shorts operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data; the vendor also serves as a subcontractor to The Boeing Company on aerospace-related projects, but those relationships fall outside the federal prime award tracking captured here. Top NAICS categories include All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing, Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing, and Plate Work Manufacturing; top PSC codes center on Plate, Sheet, Strip, Foil materials and Bars and Rods across both ferrous and nonferrous base metals.
