Sharkcage Inc.

Sharkcage Inc., a foreign-owned small business manufacturer based in Spring Branch, Texas, sells specialized logistics and construction equipment—shipping containers, modification kits, modular storage systems, mobile shelters, and utility area shelters—to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company competes predominantly full-and-open; set-asides (Total Small Business) account for approximately 20% of recent award volume by count, with the remainder open to all responsible sources.

Sharkcage's customer footprint is deeply concentrated in a single agency relationship. The Defense Logistics Agency's Troop Support Construction and Equipment program accounts for 1,688 of 1,740 total awards (97% by count) and $54.1 million of $68.5 million combined potential value (79%). This dominance reflects a long-standing supplier role within DLA's metal container and logistics equipment category. The company's secondary customer—GSA Federal Acquisition Service—accounts for only 3 awards totaling $9.8 million, positioned entirely on the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). Remaining federal agencies (Navy, Air Force, Army, Air Forces Europe and Africa) represent under 1% of award value in aggregate.

Sharkcage's category concentration mirrors its DLA footprint. The company's awards span primarily NAICS 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing)—1,544 of 1,740 awards—and PSC 8145 (Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers)—1,599 awards. Secondary categories include fabricated structural metal (NAICS 332312, PSC 54 for utility area shelters and modular storage covers) and hardware/cabinets. Individual purchase orders typically range from $1,700 to $200,000, with the largest recent awards in the $175,000 to $196,000 range for modular storage units and shipping supports.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years—between 229 and 379 awards annually—with 2024 peak (379 awards) followed by a modest decline in 2025 (279 awards) and 2026 year-to-date (117 awards). The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months encompasses 73 awards totaling $2.4 million in combined potential value, representing modest recompete exposure relative to the vendor's $68.5 million total portfolio. Sharkcage obligated $58.9 million across its awards, reflecting an 86% obligation rate against potential value, typical of the DLA purchase-order model.

Sharkcage maintains one documented subcontract relationship: a tactical locker supply agreement under Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., a prime contractor, awarded in February 2025. The company operates primarily as a prime supplier of manufactured equipment rather than as a systems integrator or subcontractor; the Atlantic Diving sub-award represents an exception rather than a characteristic posture.

The company's business model centers on manufacturing discrete, high-volume logistics equipment—containers, shelters, and modification kits—to DLA specifications under purchase orders with 10- to 90-day delivery windows and firm fixed pricing. Place of performance is consistently Spring Branch, Texas, where the company maintains its manufacturing operations. No IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles appear in the top vehicle list; Sharkcage competes order-by-order against unrestricted or Total Small Business RFQs rather than holding pre-negotiated master vehicle seats, with the exception of its limited MAS presence.
