MTJ American LLC

MTJ American LLC, doing business as MTJ American Mattresses, manufactures medical-grade fabrics and detention-grade bedding products for the federal prison system as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on its primary indefinite delivery contract and full-and-open on task orders issued under that vehicle.

The company is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Hudson, North Carolina, with manufacturing operations in Granite Falls, North Carolina. MTJ American is a small business specializing in mattress manufacturing (NAICS 337910) with textile fabrics and detention-focused hospital supplies as secondary NAICS categories. The vendor has held a SAM.gov registration since June 2008 and competes as a total small business set-aside prime on its core contracting vehicle.

MTJ American's federal work centers on detention-grade and medical-use bedding products: medical-grade fabrics, vent-sealed bedding materials, mattress covers with RF-welded seams designed for detention environments, and specialized inmate mattresses. Representative work includes a $7.03 million indefinite delivery contract awarded by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office in August 2020 and modified to $7,034,709 in September 2025, running through September 22, 2026, which serves as the primary vehicle for delivery orders to correctional facilities nationwide; a $244,922.50 delivery order from Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg for medical-grade fabric awarded January 14, 2026; an $81,009.50 mattress purchase order set aside for small business from the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region awarded March 26, 2024; and a $42,400 Marine Corps purchase order for 400 navy blue nylon mattresses under a partial small business set-aside awarded December 26, 2023.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons accounts for 99% of awards by count and combined potential value. Within that agency, three subcomponents dominate: the Bureau of Prisons Central Office (109 awards, $20.3 million combined potential value), United States Penitentiary Atlanta (419 awards, $7.1 million combined potential value), and Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg (90 awards, $3.2 million combined potential value). Outside Bureau of Prisons, MTJ American has sporadic exposure: the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region placed three mattress purchase orders totaling $217 thousand; the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles placed one award for $1.3 million. The vendor's entire federal footprint rests on a single indefinite delivery vehicle with one agency.

MTJ American's vehicle position consists of five indefinite delivery contracts with the Bureau of Prisons. The largest is IDC DJU4600004569, which has generated 244 task orders valued at $6.5 million combined potential value. IDC DJU4600003948 has produced 216 task orders worth $3.8 million combined potential value. IDC 15UC0C20D00001507 carries 113 task orders for $3.9 million combined potential value. IDC 15UC0C25D00002144 has 20 task orders for $841 thousand combined potential value. IDC DJU4600003411 has 7 task orders for $137 thousand combined potential value. All five are small-business-set-aside vehicles, and task orders issued against them split between total small business set-aside and full-and-open (no set-aside) designations.

Activity has been steady with modest growth. Awards per year increased from 17 in 2022 to 34 in 2024, then moderated to 24 in 2025 and 18 through June 2026. Combined potential value across the 630 prime awards in the source is $42.8 million, with $22.7 million obligated (53% of potential value), indicating consistent invoicing against awards. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months shows minimal exposure: only one award with ultimate completion date in that window carries $18 thousand combined potential value. The primary $7.03 million IDC runs through September 2026 and will likely be recompeted; the historical pattern suggests MTJ American has held this vehicle since August 2020 with modifications extending it multiple times.

MTJ American operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The vendor does not use named subcontractors on federal work; all performance is conducted in-house at its Granite Falls manufacturing facility. Work is performed at Bureau of Prisons facilities nationwide, with place of performance addresses spanning Williamsburg, Atlanta, Victorville, McKean, and other correctional institutions as delivery orders are issued.

The vendor's award history reflects a narrow, stable specialization: mattress manufacturing and detention-grade textile products for a single customer agency. Across the 630 awards, 618 carry NAICS 337910 (Mattress Manufacturing), with textile and nonwoven fabric mills accounting for the remainder. PSC coding reflects the same concentration: Textile Fabrics (357 awards), Clothing Special Purpose (153 awards), and Hospital Furniture, Equipment, Utensils, and Supplies (93 awards). This vertical focus — detention bedding for Bureau of Prisons — has generated consistent multi-million-dollar annual volume but creates customer concentration risk and limits the vendor's addressable market outside federal corrections.
