Purchase Order 47QSSC26P0DGY

The U.S. General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service awarded a $6,275 firm fixed-price purchase order to Aero Industrial Tool Company, a certified women-owned small business based in Sarasota, Florida, for a blind nut tool kit. The kit consists of 13 blind nuts and bolts manufactured by Hi-Shear Corporation, ranging in size from -440 to 1/2-13 for nuts and -5 to -16 for bolts, along with a hand pump and carrying case. The tool kit is designed for the installation of Hi-Shear blind nuts and bolt series fasteners, commonly used in aerospace and defense maintenance applications. The contract was awarded on December 5, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 11, 2026, and carries no set-aside designation despite the contractor's small business status.

Aero Industrial Tool Company has established a strong track record supplying specialized precision tools and fasteners to federal agencies since its SAM registration in 2001. The company maintains an indefinite delivery contract with the Air Force Sustainment Center valued at $4.55 million through September 2029, specifically supporting the Aircraft Battle Damage Repair program through the provision of drill kits and related equipment. This purchase order award aligns with the company's core competency in providing highly specialized aerospace and defense maintenance tools, leveraging its women-owned small business certification to compete effectively across multiple federal procurement channels including the Department of Defense and Defense Logistics Agency.
