The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation division awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Defense Support Services, Inc., a minority-owned small business headquartered in Arlington, Texas, for the procurement of blind rivets. The contract, valued at $3,926.07 with an ultimate completion date of November 12, 2026, was awarded on January 15, 2026, without set-aside designation.

All work is performed at the company's Arlington, Texas facility, and this blind rivet purchase order supports ongoing Department of Defense aviation maintenance and logistics operations.
