W Lewis Frame N Door Inc.

W Lewis Frame N Door Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Leander, Texas, manufactures and supplies detention-grade metal doors, frames, windows, locks, and related security hardware to the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor, competing under total small business set-asides on roughly half of its federal work and full-and-open on the remainder. The company operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and has served 65 distinct federal customer agencies across nearly 400 awards since 2000, with the vast majority concentrated in metal window and door manufacturing (183 awards) and miscellaneous fabricated metal products (67 awards).

The Federal Bureau of Prisons dominates W Lewis Frame N Door's customer base. The top five named BOP facilities by combined potential value account for 31 percent of the vendor's $7.1 million in total potential value, anchored by the BOP Administrative Security US Penitentiary Thomson (12 awards, $1.5 million) and supplemented by Federal Correctional Institution Fort Worth (4 awards, $251 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution Morgantown (4 awards, $190 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution Oxford (5 awards, $156 thousand), and Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix (5 awards, $122 thousand). By award count, the same Thomson facility leads at 12 awards, followed by Federal Correctional Complex Butner (11 awards, $112 thousand). W Lewis Frame N Door works across the BOP estate, placing orders from individual institutions rather than through centralized IDIQs or parent vehicles; all 396 awards are direct prime purchase orders with no participation on government-wide vehicles or blanket purchase agreements.

Recent work exemplifies the vendor's core capability: a $262,836 total small business set-aside purchase order from Metropolitan Correctional Center San Diego (awarded September 2023) for replacement of I-unit cell doors and frames to Bureau of Prisons security specifications; a $79,342 delivery order from Federal Correctional Institution Memphis (August 2024) for detention-grade doors under NAICS code 332321 (metal door and frame manufacturing); a $70,954 total small business set-aside purchase order from Federal Correctional Institution Oxford (June 2026) for ten detention-grade hollow metal doors and frames meeting ASTM, AWS, HMMA, and NFPA standards; and a $86,560 shower-door order from Metropolitan Correctional Center Chicago (July 2026). Activity has been sporadic in recent years — four awards in 2021, two in 2022, five each in 2023 and 2024, and three through July 2026 — with only one award (combined potential value $71 thousand) completing in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor carries no subcontract work; all awards are primary supplier relationships.
