Hinge, butt

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting quotes for butt hinges (NSN 5340013938500) through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) mechanism. An initial quantity of 36 units is required with delivery within 155 days from award. This procurement may result in an Automated Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a one-year term or until aggregate orders reach $350,000, whichever comes first. The estimated number of orders per year is two, and all responsible sources are eligible to submit quotes. Quotes must be submitted electronically by the May 12, 2026 deadline, and hard copies of the solicitation are not available; all documentation and specifications will be provided electronically. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in this notice, competitive pricing and the contractor's ability to meet delivery requirements and quality standards will likely be primary considerations.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for small businesses. A guaranteed minimum quantity of 5 units will be ordered under the contract, with an estimated total contract value of up to $350,000 based on the aggregate cap specified. The butt hinges fall under NAICS code 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing) and PSC code 53 (Hardware and Abrasives). Delivery of items will be made to various Defense Logistics Agency depots throughout the continental United States and overseas locations, with shipments consolidated and containerized at designated consolidation and containerization points. Potential vendors should note that the estimated annual order volume of two shipments suggests a moderate-demand item, making this opportunity suitable for hardware manufacturers capable of maintaining inventory and meeting delivery schedules to multiple government distribution centers.
