Defense Support Services, Inc., a minority-owned small business headquartered in Arlington, Texas, was awarded a $41,624.28 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation on September 19, 2025, for the procurement of 1,772 self-locking nuts (National Stock Number 5310010504255). The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, requires delivery to DLA Distribution San Joaquin within 74 days of order placement, with an ultimate completion date of June 11, 2027. The self-locking nuts fall under Federal Supply Class 53 (Hardware and Abrasives) and are critical components for military aviation maintenance and readiness operations.

This award reflects Defense Support Services' established position as a key supplier of aviation consumables and hardware to the Department of Defense. The contractor's multiple socioeconomic certifications—including HUBZone, Small Disadvantaged Business, and Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise status—enabled its selection for this set-aside opportunity. The company's prior performance on numerous DLA Aviation contracts for fasteners, hardware, and specialized aviation components, including several Indefinite Delivery Contracts with ceiling values exceeding $1.2 million, demonstrates its reliability in supporting military supply chain operations.
