Super Roco Steel & Tube, LTD. II

Super Roco Steel & Tube, LTD. II, doing business as R S & T, is a small business manufacturer and SBA-certified 8(a) program participant that supplies ferrous and nonferrous metallic materials—steel plates, bars, tubes, angles, sheets, and specialized alloys—to defense and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor on 371 awards totaling $67.2 million in combined potential value. The Lombard, Illinois–based company is Subcontinent Asian (Asian-Indian) American–owned and operates as a Subchapter S corporation, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on individual purchase orders and blanket purchase agreement calls.

R S & T's customer base clusters heavily around defense—the top five agencies account for 79% of awards by count and 78% by potential value. TACOM Life Cycle Management Command leads by award volume (107 awards, $18.6 million), sourcing bars, tubes, plates, and structural alloys for the Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center and ground vehicle acquisition programs at Rock Island Arsenal and other Army facilities. The Naval Air Warfare Center anchors the largest single potential-value concentration with nine awards valued at $20.4 million, predominantly through two multi-million-dollar blanket purchase agreements (one at $5 million, another at $7.5 million) for metallic materials supporting naval aviation and ship construction. Naval Sea Systems Command follows with 82 awards ($2 million combined) for stainless steel, high-strength armor plate, and pipe components in support of ship maintenance and weapons systems. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution El Reno places 85 smaller awards ($4.1 million combined) for food-service-grade stainless steel and general structural materials. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Coast Guard round out the active set with occasional purchases of structural steel, rebar, and fabricated components.

R S & T's vehicle footprint is anchored by four principal blanket purchase agreements: a $7.5 million single-award BPA with TACOM (awarded January 2026, running through January 2031) for comprehensive steel product supply; a $7.5 million single-award TACOM BPA (awarded April 2025, running through April 2030) specifically for 17-4 stainless steel ingots; a $5 million single-award Naval Air Warfare Center BPA (awarded May 2024, running through May 2029) for steel and metal components; and a $7.5 million multiple-award TACOM BPA (awarded March 2022, running through March 2027) for rolled homogeneous armor, high-yield strength steel, and alloys supporting the Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center. Under these vehicles, R S & T has issued up to 107 task orders (TACOM alone) ranging from sub-$2,000 calls for specialty steel bars to six-figure orders for structural alloys and armor plate. The company also holds a one-dollar nominal BPA with NASA Langley Research Center (awarded March 2025) for aluminum and steel stock, and a $7.5 million single-award BPA with ENDIST Pittsburgh (awarded January 2026) for metallic materials across defense programs. Recent representative prime awards include a $136,530 purchase order from TACOM in April 2026 for front-foot forgings; a $131,429.70 order from Naval Supply Systems Command in November 2025 for steel plate; a $214,103.50 delivery from the Army Corps of Engineers in April 2025 for coated sheet piling at the Big Black Test Site; and a $244,261.20 BPA call from TACOM in August 2024 for HY-80 structural alloy steel bars.

Across the award portfolio, 98 awards fall under Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing from Purchased Steel (NAICS 331514); 54 under Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing; 50 under Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing; and 39 under broader Iron and Steel Mills. The dominant PSC codes are Plate, Sheet, Strip, Foil, and Leaf (85 awards), Wire Nonelectrical Nonferrous Base Metal (72 awards), and Bars and Rods (60 awards). Awards are concentrated in total small business set-asides, with occasional full-and-open or non-set-aside calls where R S & T competes on technical merit and low cost. R S & T has not won federal contracts as a subcontractor—all 371 awards are prime.

Activity was stable in 2022–2024 (16–30 awards annually) and remained at 30 awards in 2025; the 2026 count (six awards to date) reflects the year's recency. A single award worth $135 thousand reaches completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure, while the newly awarded BPAs extend performance through 2030–2031, anchoring R S & T's federal footprint.
