SX Industries, Inc.

SX Industries, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Stoughton, Massachusetts, supplies metal fastening products, textiles, and raw materials to the federal correctional system as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under a single-award indefinite delivery contract set aside 100% for small businesses.

SX Industries is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and small business with no formal SBA certifications beyond its small-business status, though the vendor competes predominantly under total small-business set-asides on its core federal work. The company manufactures Berry Amendment and Buy American Act compliant metal fastening products—brass snaps, grommets, eyelets, stamped metal components—and textiles (fabric for uniforms and linens) for use in correctional facilities and military applications including MOLLE rucksacks, ammunition pouches, and tactical gear.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons accounts for 90% of the vendor's 71 prime awards and 97% of combined potential value ($3.6 million of $5 million total). Within Bureau of Prisons, the Central Office dominates at 40 awards and $3.6 million combined potential value, with individual correctional complexes and institutions (Pollock, Butner, Edgefield, Manchester) issuing smaller orders for facility-specific snaps, stamped metal components, and fabric. A single outlier award appears under Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 for $659 thousand, representing diversification activity that has not recurred.

SX Industries holds a single parent vehicle: a $2.624 million five-year indefinite delivery contract with the Bureau of Prisons Central Office awarded June 15, 2023, with four option years extending through June 14, 2028. This vehicle is 100% set aside for small businesses and authorizes the supply of metal fastening products, raw materials, and related components for federal correctional facilities nationwide. The vendor has issued 32 task orders against this IDC for $1 million combined potential value, ranging from $10,000 to over $150,000 per order.

Award activity peaked in 2023 with 46 awards, then contracted sharply to six awards in 2024 and six in 2025, with only two awards recorded through May 2026. This trajectory reflects the post-IDC-award delivery-order cycle rather than growth; the vendor's sustained footprint depends on continued task orders under the single parent vehicle. Within the next twenty-four months, only two awards (combined potential value $41 thousand) face completion, creating minimal near-term recompete pressure but indicating that the vast majority of the vendor's active work flows through renewals of the core Bureau of Prisons IDC. The vendor obligated $2.4 million (48% of combined potential value) across all awards, signaling that many listed delivery orders remain partially unfilled or pending final invoice.

SX Industries operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The company's NAICS profile skews toward metal stamping (39 awards under NAICS 332115, Metal Crown, Closure, and Other Metal Stamping) and textiles (24 awards under NAICS 314210, Broadwoven Fabric Mills), with smaller exposure to fastener manufacturing (7 awards under NAICS 332722). PSC coding aligns: Textile Fabrics (38 awards) and Clothing, Special Purpose (25 awards) dominate the portfolio. The concentration in small correctional-facility procurement orders—purchase orders and delivery orders typically under $100,000—reflects a supplier relationship to a single federal customer managing distributed facilities rather than a scaled, multi-agency footprint.
