Purchase Order SPE4A626PB710

The U.S. Defense Department's Aviation division awarded a $1,221.60 firm fixed-price purchase order to Inserts & Kits, Inc., a minority-owned and woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Santa Ana, California. The contract, effective January 12, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of June 11, 2026, calls for the supply of screw thread inserts—precision aerospace fasteners critical to military aviation maintenance and repair operations. Inserts & Kits, Inc. operates as the prime contractor with no subcontractor involvement, delivering products directly to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which serves as the primary federal customer for the company's aerospace fastener components manufactured to strict Society of Automotive Engineers and Naval Air specifications.

This purchase order represents a discrete transaction within Inserts & Kits, Inc.'s broader supplier relationship with DLA Aviation. The company currently maintains two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with DLA Aviation, each valued at $250,000 and established through competitive solicitation in September 2025 as Total Small Business set-asides. These IDCs cover screw thread inserts and retaining rings with committed minimum purchase quantities and delivery timelines ranging from 33 to 59 days, enabling DLA Aviation to consolidate shipments to multiple domestic and overseas depots while ensuring sustained supplier engagement. The current award carries no set-aside designation and reflects the company's competitive standing in open federal procurement processes.
