PSC 5306 covers bolts, which are critical fastening components used across various military, aviation, and industrial applications. These bolts serve essential mechanical functions in aircraft, naval vessels, and other complex equipment, ranging from standard machine bolts to specialized high-tolerance and critical safety components. The bolts are manufactured to precise specifications, often requiring specific materials, thread configurations, and quality control standards to meet stringent military and aerospace requirements.

Federal Contract Awards in this PSC category primarily involve the U.S. Coast Guard, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, and Naval Supply Systems Command, with contract values ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, typically lasting between several months to a year. Frequent awardees include aerospace and manufacturing companies such as Airbus Helicopters, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Noble Supply & Logistics, and ES3 Prime Logistics Group. While many contracts are open market, some are set aside for small businesses, including veteran-owned, woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. Performance locations are predominantly in the United States, with a significant concentration in aviation and naval maintenance facilities.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities focus on procuring specialized bolts for military aircraft, including Black Hawk and MH-60T helicopters, with solicitations from agencies like the Department of the Navy and Defense Logistics Agency. These opportunities request bolts with specific technical requirements such as close tolerances, internal wrenches, and critical safety classifications. Most solicitations are set aside for small businesses and cover quantities ranging from 20 to 56,043 units. Procurement methods include competitive bidding, with evaluation criteria considering price, past performance, and technical capabilities. Performance locations are primarily U.S. military bases and maintenance facilities, with delivery timelines typically ranging from 81 to 968 days after receipt of order.
