The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation branch awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Defense Support Services, Inc., an Arlington, Texas-based minority-owned small business, for close tolerance screws. The contract, valued at $3,876.72, carries an ultimate completion date of July 17, 2026, and was issued without a set-aside designation. Defense Support Services, a registered federal contractor since February 2002, specializes in providing aviation consumable items, spare parts, and fastening components to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The company holds multiple socioeconomic certifications, including Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) status and Small Disadvantaged Business designation, positioning it competitively for federal procurement opportunities.

This award represents a discrete purchase order for aviation hardware under the company's existing relationship with DLA Aviation, consistent with Defense Support Services' sustained track record of supplying fasteners and aviation components to military operations. The vendor maintains four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with DLA, each with ceiling values of $250,000, covering various aviation consumables and hardware items with performance periods extending through 2029 and 2030. The close tolerance screws procured under this purchase order support ongoing military aviation maintenance and logistics operations, leveraging the contractor's demonstrated capabilities in Federal Supply Class 53 (Hardware and Abrasives) and its operational base in Arlington, Texas.
