Hand Tools

Product Service Code (PSC) 51-P for Hand Tools encompasses non-powered hand tools used across various military and government applications. These tools include manual wrenches, ratchets, clamps, torque tools, insertion and removal tools, specialized measurement and fabrication implements, and comprehensive tool kits designed for specific maintenance and repair purposes. The tools are typically precision-engineered to meet rigorous military specifications and are utilized in aircraft, naval vessel, and ground vehicle maintenance operations.

Multiple federal contract awards under this PSC category involve procurements by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command. Recent awards range from small quantities of specialized tools (2-173 units) with values implied to be between $10,000 and $250,000, typically with delivery timelines between 30-250 days after order. Most awards are designated as either Total Small Business set-asides or unrestricted competition, with performance locations concentrated at DLA Distribution centers in California, Pennsylvania, and other military logistics facilities. The procurement process emphasizes strict technical compliance, with detailed requirements for manufacturing, packaging, and quality assurance.

Recent federal contract opportunities under PSC 51-P include solicitations for specialized tool kits and individual tools across multiple military branches. The Department of the Navy, Air Force, and Defense Logistics Agency have posted opportunities for items such as aircraft maintenance tool kits, torque wrenches, hydraulic jacks, impact tools, and precision insertion/removal tools. These opportunities consistently target small businesses, require electronic quote submissions, and specify delivery to military distribution centers. The technical requirements are highly specific, often referencing unique military specifications, and emphasizing mercury-free manufacturing, precise dimensional tolerances, and compliance with military packaging and quality assurance standards.
