Westfield Electroplating Company

Westfield Electroplating Company, doing business as Westfield Electroplating Co, is a SBA-certified veteran-owned small business based in Westfield, Massachusetts, that supplies precision metal finishing services — anodizing, electroless nickel plating, cadmium plating, zinc plating, and related surface treatments — to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on 90% of its federal award footprint. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, with set-aside designations appearing across the vast majority of its prime purchasing agreements.

Westfield's customer concentration is severe and narrowly focused on military production and sustainment at two facilities. The Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command dominates the portfolio at 84 awards and $7.8 million in combined potential value — approximately 93% of all prime contract dollars. Nearly all TACOM work supports the Watervliet Arsenal in Watervliet, New York, where Westfield provides ongoing anodizing and plating services for M776 breech collars, M35 housings, M20 levers, locator collars, and related weapons components. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command places the second-largest volume at 46 awards but carries only $238 thousand in combined potential value, reflecting many small purchase orders for cadmium plating, zinc plating, and re-plating services at Kittery, Maine. The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration contributes 13 awards through subcontract relationships with Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Kansas City National Security Campus (through Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies and Triad National Security as primes). Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal rounds out the active set with 7 awards totaling $411 thousand.

Westfield operates under two multi-year Blanket Purchase Agreements with TACOM: Blanket Purchase Agreement W911PT15A0053 (25 task orders, $72 thousand combined value) and Blanket Purchase Agreement W911PT20A0053 (13 task orders, $72 thousand combined value). These BPAs represent standing authority to supply electroplating services on an as-needed basis to Watervliet Arsenal's production and maintenance operations; recent named delivery orders and BPA calls include a $50.5 thousand purchase order (August 2024) for anodizing M776 breech collars monthly through May 2026, a $24.5 thousand BPA call (September 2024) for electroless nickel plating of M20 levers, and a $20 thousand purchase order (February 2026) for electroless nickel treatment at Watervliet Arsenal.

Activity has fluctuated over the past five years — eight awards in 2022, three in 2023, eleven in 2024, seven in 2025, and five through March 2026 — with only three awards (combined potential value $32 thousand) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, suggesting stable but modest near-term recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role (10% of the award footprint, 15 recent sub-awards), Westfield delivers plating and specialized tooling fabrication services to Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies (management and operation of the National Security Campus contract), Triad National Security (Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operating contract), and Pantexas Deterrence (Pantex Plant management and operation). NAICS classification is heavily concentrated in Electroplating, Plating, Polishing, Anodizing, and Coloring (131 awards), with minor allocation to Facilities Support Services and equipment repair categories. The company's portfolio is tightly coupled to Watervliet Arsenal's artillery manufacturing cycle and sustained by long-standing BPA relationships; revenue concentration, narrow customer base, and small average order values position Westfield as a specialized supplier to Army ordnance production rather than a diversified federal contractor.
