The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation division awarded a $68,396.44 firm fixed-price purchase order to Defense Support Services, Inc., a minority-owned small business based in Arlington, Texas, for the procurement of turnlock fasteners. This total small business set-aside contract was awarded on November 6, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of April 6, 2026. Turnlock fasteners are critical aviation hardware components used extensively in military aircraft assembly and maintenance operations. Defense Support Services specializes in supplying aviation consumable items and hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency, leveraging its Historically Underutilized Business Zone status and Small Disadvantaged Business certifications to compete for set-aside opportunities.

The award represents a discrete purchase order under Defense Support Services' existing Indefinite Delivery Contract vehicles with the Defense Logistics Agency, which maintain ceiling values of $250,000 each across multiple product categories including fasteners, grommets, seals, and aviation hardware. The company's sustained track record includes recent awards exceeding $186,000 for self-locking nuts and $100,000 for machine screws, demonstrating consistent performance in supplying specialized aviation components that support military readiness. All work will be performed at the contractor's Arlington, Texas facility, with the purchase order directly supporting DLA's operational requirements for aviation maintenance and logistics operations.
