Screws

Product Service Code (PSC) 5305 encompasses screws, fasteners, and related hardware used across various federal government and military applications. This category includes a wide range of precision-manufactured components such as socket head cap screws, hex head screws, machine screws, and self-locking capscrews. The products are typically fabricated from specialized materials like K-Monel, Inconel, stainless steel, and various alloys, designed to meet stringent military and naval specifications.

Federal Contract Awards under PSC 5305 predominantly involve the U.S. Coast Guard, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Defense Logistics Agency. Typical awards range from small purchases of $10 to $20 thousand to larger delivery orders around $60,000, with contract durations generally spanning 6-18 months. Key contractors include K Machine & Tool Inc., Zenith Aviation, Ineo Global Support, Inc., and Airbus Helicopters, with many awards focused on supporting military aircraft maintenance, particularly for MH-65 and MH-60T helicopters. Most awards are firm-fixed-price contracts, often not set aside for specific business categories, though many recent solicitations target small business vendors.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities concentrate on precise, mission-critical fasteners for naval and maritime applications. Solicitations frequently request socket head cap screws, hex head screws, and specialized nuts and washers with exacting material specifications. Common procurement agencies include the Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime. Most opportunities specify delivery to naval bases in locations like Yokosuka, Japan, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and various shipyards in Washington and Maine. Typical requirements involve small to moderate quantities (10-1,200 units) of highly specialized fasteners made from exotic alloys like Inconel 718 and K-Monel, with strict quality control and certification requirements.
