MTJ American LLC

MTJ American LLC, doing business as MTJ American Mattresses, manufactures detention-grade and medical-use bedding products—mattresses, mattress covers, medical-grade fabrics, and vent-sealed materials—as a prime contractor to the federal government under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation headquartered in Hudson, North Carolina, with manufacturing operations in Granite Falls, North Carolina, and competes almost exclusively under total small business set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

MTJ American's customer concentration is extreme and narrowly focused. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons accounts for 99 percent of awards across the vendor portfolio, with the Bureau of Prisons Central Office anchoring 113 awards worth $20.5 million in combined potential value, the United States Penitentiary Atlanta holding 419 awards worth $7.1 million, and the Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg placing 97 awards worth $3.6 million. No other federal agency represents material volume; the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region and the Defense Logistics Agency each placed isolated orders. The vendor's exposure to recompete is minimal—only two awards valued at $75 thousand complete within the next twenty-four months.

MTJ American operates predominantly under five indefinite delivery contracts, all held with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. The lead vehicle is indefinite delivery contract DJU4600004569, under which 244 task orders have been placed carrying $6.5 million in combined potential value. Contract DJU4600003948 has generated 216 task orders worth $3.8 million. The primary contract awarded in September 2025 is a $7,034,709 total small business set-aside single-award IDIQ with the Bureau of Prisons Central Office, structured for one base year plus four one-year option periods with an ultimate completion date of September 22, 2026; recent delivery orders issued under this vehicle total approximately $1.09 million across 24 orders from January through September 2026, with individual orders ranging from $10,233 to $244,923. All delivery orders are firm fixed price with economic price adjustment provisions and include Buy American compliance requirements. Work is performed at the company's Granite Falls facility with no named subcontractors; place of performance includes FOB destination to UNICOR facilities in Greenville, Illinois and Williamsburg, Virginia.

Activity has grown modestly and steadily, from 17 awards in 2022 to 34 in 2024, with a recent dip to 29 awards year-to-date in 2026. The vendor's total award footprint spans 641 prime contract awards since 2008, with combined potential value of $43.4 million and $23.3 million in obligated dollars (54 percent obligated across the portfolio). Capability work is consistently specialized: medical-grade fabric procurement for inmate housing and medical facilities, mattress covers with RF-welded seams and vent construction, sealed and vent-sealed bedding materials, and partially finished mattress covers. Representative awards include a $244,923 delivery order from Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg (September 2026) for medical-grade fabric under a total small business set-aside, a $30,195 purchase order from the Federal Correctional Complex Victorville (December 2023) for 500 sealed clear mattresses, and an $81,010 total small business set-aside purchase order from the Department of the Army Southeast Region (March 2024) for mattresses. The vendor's federal footprint is entirely prime—no subcontract volume appears in the source.

MTJ American manufactures all products in-house at its Granite Falls facility and consistently delivers under total small business set-asides (629 of 641 awards coded to NAICS 337910, Mattress Manufacturing), with smaller volumes in textile finishing and nonwoven fabric mills. The vendor has maintained a long-standing, decade-plus supplier relationship with the Bureau of Prisons, demonstrating sustained performance and minimal competitive exposure outside that single customer relationship.
