Redding Steel LLC

Redding Steel LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business (EDWOSB and WOSB certified) based in Southington, Connecticut, manufactures precision-engineered specialty steel products for the federal government as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a limited liability partnership and has held a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing since September 2021.

Redding Steel's capability portfolio centers on D2 steel bars, tool bars, rods, plates, and sheets manufactured to exacting dimensional tolerances for currency and security document production. Representative work includes a $46,463 BPA call issued in May 2026 for steel rods under the company's primary vehicle (BPA 2031ZA21A00026), a $17,325 call in November 2025 for steel rods, and a $14,335 call in February 2024 for specialty steel materials. All awards carry firm fixed pricing and are designated total small business set-asides.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing accounts for 36 of 38 awards (95% of award count) and the full $856 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor operates under four primary BPAs with BEP: the flagship BPA 2031ZA21A00026 (September 2021 through September 15, 2026, ceiling $217,280) generates 15 task orders valued at $183 thousand; BPA TEPC1768101 generates 9 task orders valued at $122 thousand; BPA TEPE1108000 generates 3 task orders valued at $47 thousand; and BPA TEPE1011000 generates 2 task orders.

Award activity has remained modest and relatively flat — two awards in 2022, four in 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025, and one in early 2026. Redding Steel has obligated $433 thousand (51% of combined potential value) across the $856 thousand portfolio. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $46 thousand in potential value. The vendor holds no subcontractors and does not operate as a sub to other federal primes. Primary NAICS codes are Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing (29 awards) and Metal Service Centers and Other Metal Merchant Wholesalers (9 awards), with PSC Bars And Rods dominating at 29 awards. Place of performance is Southington, Connecticut, with BEP facilities in Connecticut and Virginia cited for call execution.
