DES MOINES STEEL FENCE & COMPANY, INC.

DES MOINES STEEL FENCE & COMPANY, INC. specializes in the fabrication, installation, and maintenance of steel fencing and perimeter security systems for government and institutional facilities. Their core capabilities include custom steel fence design, post-and-rail construction, welded wire mesh installations, and gate systems incorporating access control integration. The company demonstrates technical proficiency in adhering to federal and state safety standards for perimeter security, including ASTM and ANSI specifications for structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance. Their work often involves site-specific engineering for challenging terrain, erosion-prone areas, and high-security environments requiring tamper-resistant configurations. Key differentiators include on-site fabrication capabilities, rapid deployment timelines, and experience with phased construction in active operational zones. Award history does not provide sufficient detail to identify specific agencies or project types, so no definitive agency relationships can be confirmed. However, given the nature of their work, it is reasonable to infer potential engagement with defense, transportation, corrections, and federal land management entities requiring durable, low-maintenance perimeter solutions. The primary NAICS code 238990 classifies the firm under “Other Specialty Trade Contractors,” which in practice means they deliver niche, non-residential construction services focused on security infrastructure rather than general building or electrical work. Their market positioning centers on durable, code-compliant fencing solutions for public-sector clients seeking long-term asset protection with minimal lifecycle maintenance. The company operates as a small, locally based entity headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, with a structure classified as 2L, indicating a small business with limited subcontracting capacity. No federal certifications are listed, and their geographic presence appears concentrated in the Midwest. Their government market positioning is that of a regional specialty contractor focused on physical security infrastructure, serving public agencies requiring reliable, code-compliant fencing systems without reliance on large-scale national contracting networks.
