Norshield Security Products, LLC

Norshield Security Products, LLC (Norshield Division), a Montgomery, Alabama-based for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of goods, supplies forced entry and ballistic resistant (FEBR) doors, windows, security glazing, louvers, teller windows, and related physical security infrastructure to the federal government as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) and occasionally as a subcontractor on embassy construction projects. The vendor competes entirely in full-and-open procurement — no set-aside designations appear across its prime footprint, though the Department of State has historically used Total Small Business set-asides for select purchase orders.

Norshield's customer base concentrates heavily on diplomatic security. The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations dominates both volume and dollars, accounting for 342 awards (87% of total award count) valued at $14.4 million across the covered period. The next largest customer, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center, is a distant second with 7 awards worth $6.5 million; the combination of USAID, USAID Office of Security, and State Department Bureau of Diplomatic Security rounds out the top tier. Norshield's capability portfolio centers on manufacturing and delivering FEBR security products — doors, frames, glazing panels, louvers, and teller windows — primarily for U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide, with secondary work on State Department domestic facilities (SA 21 Training Facility in Springfield, Virginia) and DoD special operations infrastructure.

Norshield holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center valued at $5.2 million with a completion date of September 4, 2029. The contract enables streamlined procurement of FEBR doors, windows, louvers, teller windows, and related security equipment across a five-year period. Two task orders under this IDC total approximately $1 million in combined potential value. Recent prime delivery orders exemplify the vendor's work: a $330,270 order from ERDC placed February 26, 2026 for FEBR doors with performance at Shepherdsville, Kentucky; a $266,310 delivery order from ERDC awarded September 29, 2025 for FEBR door design and manufacture; and multiple purchase orders from State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations ranging from $7,035 to $238,737 for metal door frames, security glazing, and teller windows supporting embassy projects in Bangladesh, Maldives, Turmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Angola, Nicaragua, and other locations.

Activity has been stable but declining. Norshield received 28 awards in both 2022 and 2024, peaked at 31 in 2023, then dropped to 19 in 2025 with only 2 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. The vendor faces minimal recompete exposure — only one award (combined potential value $15 thousand) completes within the next twenty-four months. The combined potential value across all recent awards sits at $26.7 million, with $23.2 million obligated (87% draw-down), indicating steady execution.

Norshield subcontracts infrequently; the source names eight sub-awards, all awarded to BL Harbert International LLC and PAE Government Services on embassy construction and operations work in New Delhi, Beirut, and Iraq. These sub engagements involve FEBR glazing replacements, window inserts, and security glass procurement — work that flows from Norshield's core FEBR manufacturing capability into larger prime-led construction programs. Primary NAICS concentration falls under Metal Window and Door Manufacturing (295 awards), with secondary NAICS categories in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction and Security Systems Services. Top PSC codes align: Metal Screening (204 awards), Hardware Commercial (24 awards), and Building Components Prefabricated (20 awards).

Norshield operates from multiple locations. Manufacturing occurs at facilities in Montgomery, Alabama (primary), Shepherdsville, Kentucky, Clearwater, Florida, and Lewisville, Texas, with place-of-performance instructions in individual awards specifying delivery to embassy sites and government facilities worldwide.
