About the company
New England Lead Burning Company, Inc., doing business as Nelco, is a veteran-owned manufacturer of specialized doors and security infrastructure that operates exclusively as a prime contractor on small federal purchase orders, with no subcontractor activity. The Burlington, Massachusetts-based firm competes in full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal contracting and holds no SBA designations beyond veteran-owned status.
Nelco's concrete capability footprint centers on vault doors, emergency doors, MRI doors, fire-rated doors, and related security infrastructure installation, inspection, repair, and maintenance. The company's federal award history spans specialized security work across defense and civilian health-sector customers. Representative work includes a $112.6 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Army Materiel Command's Joint Munitions Command in September 2021 for vault door inspection, service, and motion sensor installation; a $43.69 thousand purchase order from the same command in January 2024 for vault rail and bearing products; and a $3.695 thousand purchase order from the Federal Correctional Complex Butner in April 2026 for preventive maintenance of a Guardian Shield door for a LINAC unit.
Customer concentration reflects a dual-agency profile. The top five funding entities account for 64% of awards by count and 70% by combined potential value, led by the Department of the Army Materiel Command's Joint Munitions Command (3 awards, $221 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration (6 awards across four regional service networks, $180 thousand combined potential value). The remaining eight agencies on Nelco's footprint include the Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons and miscellaneous VA health-care regional networks, each placing single or paired small orders.
Nelco's award portfolio is sparse and episodic. Fourteen prime purchase orders over a trailing 37-year window (first award July 1989, most recent April 2026) total $573 thousand in combined potential value, with $549 thousand obligated. Activity has not accelerated — the past five fiscal years show a single award per active year (2019, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2026) with no concentration in recent years. One award (the $3.695 thousand Federal Correctional Complex Butner purchase order) completes in the next twenty-four months and represents the only near-term recompete exposure. Nelco does not sit on federal IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide vehicles. The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures negligible activity — 0.2 FTEs in FY2024 as a named subcontractor on an unspecified prime services contract, with no SCI-reportable prime services delivery. Nelco's federal profile is that of a niche equipment manufacturer and field-service specialist whose federal work is transactional, small-dollar, and concentrated in security infrastructure for defense ammunition commands and VA health-care facilities.
