QMF Steel, Inc.

QMF Steel, Inc., doing business as QMF Supply Fab Manufacturing, is a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Little Rock, Arkansas that manufactures and supplies fabricated steel products—tubes, sheets, angles, and structural shapes—to the federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor on 383 total awards, competing predominantly under full-and-open and total small business set-aside designations without use of subcontractors.

QMF Steel holds self-certification as a Small Disadvantaged Business and Woman-Owned Small Business, and carries Department of Transportation certification as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. The company operates manufacturing facilities in Campbell, Texas and Clearlake, California and has been active in the federal contracting space since at least 2010. Its capability portfolio centers on structural steel fabrication and delivery—sheets, tubes, angles, and related ferrous and nonferrous metal products—with recent representative awards including a $580 thousand fixed-price delivery order from the Federal Correctional Institution El Reno (July 2022–June 2023), a $181 thousand delivery order for steel to FCI El Reno (March 2024), and multiple smaller purchase orders ranging from $10 thousand to $120 thousand across the Bureau of Prisons' correctional facilities.

Customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The Federal Correctional Institution El Reno accounts for 333 of 383 total awards (97% of award count) and $11.3 million of the $18.4 million combined potential value across all awards; the Bureau of Prisons Central Office adds 26 awards worth $6.6 million. Five other Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons locations (United States Penitentiary Marion, Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont, and others) and the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal round out the customer set, but together represent only 3% of awards and less than 1% of dollars. Eighteen distinct federal agencies appear in the portfolio, but 18 agencies × very small average awards indicates tail-call activity; the two rankings track tightly because the top-value customer also places the most orders.

QMF places task orders under four named indefinite delivery contracts: DJU4600004437 (160 task orders, $3.5 million combined value), DJU4600004036 (64 task orders, $2.2 million), DJU4600004288 (56 task orders, $805 thousand), and 15UC0C18D00001748 (49 task orders, $5.1 million). Activity has been sparse in the most recent two years—2 awards in 2025 and 2 awards in 2026 year-to-date—compared to 7 to 9 awards per year from 2022 through 2024. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, reducing recompete exposure materially. The vendor's award portfolio is characterized by high-volume, low-dollar fixed-price and fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment purchase orders and delivery orders, 99% of combined potential value obligated, and zero subcontractor footprint across the entire portfolio.
