West Coast Custom Metal Design Inc.

West Coast Custom Metal Design Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bellingham, Washington, manufactures custom metal fabrication products—platforms, gangways, structural assemblies, and specialized equipment—exclusively as a prime contractor on federal purchase orders under total small business set-asides, with all thirty recent awards fully obligated.

The vendor's customer base is concentrated among defense and civilian agencies with infrastructure and operational support needs. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) anchors the portfolio by both award count (six awards) and potential value ($978 thousand), followed by the Department of Agriculture's National Resources Conservation Service (two awards, $189 thousand), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (six awards, $172 thousand), the Army Corps of Engineers (two awards, $162 thousand), and the National Park Service (two awards, $144 thousand)—together accounting for 60% of award count and 77% of combined potential value. The top-customer ranking by volume and dollars tracks closely; NAVSEA's value dominance reflects larger individual fabrication contracts (a $606 thousand gangway order in July 2024 and a $139 thousand adjustable work platform in January 2024) versus NOAA's volume-driven smaller awards ($39.8 thousand platform components in May 2026, $47.4 thousand elevated platform under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in July 2025, and aluminum tank stands and ladder assemblies ranging $12.9 thousand to $15.9 thousand).

The vendor's work spans fabricated structural metal manufacturing (eight awards), miscellaneous fabricated metal products (six awards), and specialized prefabricated structures (five awards by Product Service Code). Representative recent work includes a $606 thousand NAVSEA order for ten 50-foot gangways and hanging pier platforms (July 2024), a $177.1 thousand Department of Agriculture contract for fifty custom aluminum precipitation gauges and fifty-three wind screens (May 2024 with delivery extended to March 2025), a $139.1 thousand NAVSEA adjustable work platform for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (January 2024), a $98.1 thousand Army Corps of Engineers contract for removable guardrails at an MNA Pier (February 2024), and a $47.4 thousand NOAA elevated platform under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (July 2025). Performance occurs in Bellingham, Washington, leveraging established local manufacturing capabilities across steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Activity shows two awards in 2022, nine in 2023, and ten in 2024, then two in 2025 and one in 2026—a decline pattern from the 2023–2024 peak. One award with a combined potential value of $40 thousand carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively in the prime role on total small business set-aside purchase orders; no IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or subcontract work appears in the source data. The Subchapter S Corporation structure and over twenty years of federal fabrication experience are noted across award descriptions; recent SAM registration dates to 2015.
