Purchase Order SPE4A626V4215

The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a $16,285.50 firm fixed-price purchase order to Inserts & Kits, Inc., a minority-owned and woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Santa Ana, California, for the supply of screw thread inserts. The award, issued on November 28, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 12, 2026, was made without a set-aside designation, reflecting the contractor's competitive standing in open federal procurement processes. Inserts & Kits, Inc. specializes in precision aerospace fasteners and thread repair components that conform to strict engineering standards, including Society of Automotive Engineers specifications and Naval Air drawings, making the company a critical supplier within the defense logistics supply chain supporting military aviation maintenance and repair operations.

This purchase order builds on Inserts & Kits, Inc.'s established relationship with DLA Aviation, including two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each, awarded in September 2025, which provide sustained procurement of screw thread inserts and retaining rings with guaranteed minimum quantities and specified delivery requirements. The contractor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with direct manufacturing responsibility and no identified subcontractor relationships, ensuring end-to-end fulfillment of all contracted aerospace fastener components for defense logistics operations.
