About the company
Raco Steel Co, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Markham, Illinois, supplies sheet metal, coil steel, and system furniture components to the Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor exclusively on full-and-open federal procurements, with no subcontracting footprint. The vendor operates from a fabrication facility in Harvey, Illinois, performing shearing, leveling, slitting, and precision steel distribution and processing services. Across 767 recent awards spanning 2010 through September 2026, Raco Steel has generated $57 million in combined potential value, with $52.6 million obligated—92 percent of the potential ceiling.
The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Bureau of Prisons. Federal Correctional Institution El Reno accounts for 383 awards and $24.8 million in combined potential value, while FCI Milan has placed 206 awards worth $11.4 million combined. The Bureau of Prisons Central Office has issued 49 awards totaling $12.5 million, and FCI Terminal Island represents 91 awards and $4.3 million. These five entities cover 99 percent of recent awards and 98 percent of combined potential value, reflecting a narrow but deep customer concentration within a single federal agency and facility network. The dollar rankings diverge slightly from volume rankings—Central Office dollars exceed Milan dollars despite Milan placing more individual awards—but both rankings show FCI El Reno as the dominant customer by every measure.
Raco Steel sits on five parent indefinite-delivery contracts managed by the Bureau of Prisons. IDC 15UC0C18D00001697 carries 200 task orders worth $20.5 million combined potential value; IDC DJU4600003798 has 175 task orders and $11.9 million combined value; IDC DJU4600004287 includes 138 task orders and $1.4 million; IDC DJU4600003955 holds 58 task orders and $4 million; and IDC DJU4600004120 contains 27 task orders and $191 thousand. These vehicles anchor the vendor's transactional footprint, with delivery orders and purchase orders issued regularly against them.
Activity has remained stable, averaging 38.8 awards per year over the past five years—48 in 2022, 36 in 2023, 43 in 2024, 43 in 2025, and 23 year-to-date in 2026. The vendor operates at modest scale relative to its customer concentration. Performance location is fixed at Harvey, Illinois across all work sampled; all awards are firm-fixed-price or fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment delivery orders and purchase orders. The vendor competes exclusively on full-and-open basis with no set-aside activity, though recent awards carry both "Total Small Business" and "No Set-Aside Used" designations, signaling that Raco Steel qualifies as small but does not reserve pursuit to set-asides. Award values are modest, typically ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 per task order, with occasional larger delivery orders exceeding $400,000 for system furniture components. The source does not identify a parent company, IDV ceiling constraint, or recompete cliff data, and no subcontract relationships appear in the footprint—the vendor operates entirely as a prime on direct Bureau of Prisons work.
