The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation (Defense Logistics Agency) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $2,061.90 to Defense Support Services, Inc., a minority-owned small business headquartered in Arlington, Texas, for the procurement of shear bolts. The contract, issued on January 12, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of July 13, 2026, does not utilize a set-aside designation despite the contractor's eligible socioeconomic certifications. Work will be performed at the contractor's facility in Arlington, Texas. This discrete hardware procurement represents a routine consumable item delivery supporting Department of Defense Aviation maintenance and logistics operations.

Defense Support Services, Inc. has established itself as a reliable supplier of aviation hardware and fastening components to the Defense Logistics Agency through multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts and numerous purchase orders. The company holds active IDC vehicles with $250,000 ceiling values for aviation hardware and related components, with performance periods extending through 2029 and 2030, providing DLA with streamlined procurement mechanisms for essential aviation consumables. The contractor's background of sustained contract performance, demonstrated through previous awards ranging from under $1,000 to over $260,000, and its multiple socioeconomic certifications including HUBZone status and Small Disadvantaged Business designation position it competitively within the federal procurement landscape for both set-aside and unrestricted opportunities supporting military aviation readiness.
