Nut, self-locking, he

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is procuring 442 units of self-locking nuts identified by NSN 5310001752710 through a Request for Quote (RFQ) process. The nuts are classified under the Hardware and Abrasives product service category and fall within the Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing NAICS category. This is an open market procurement where all responsible sources may submit quotes, with submissions required to be made electronically through the link provided in the solicitation notice. Hard copies of the solicitation are not available, though digitized drawings and military specifications can be retrieved electronically. The quote submission deadline is September 4, 2025, providing potential contractors with eight days from the August 27, 2025 posting date to prepare and submit their responses.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns. The contract requires delivery of the 442 self-locking nuts to DLA Distribution facility W1A8 within 174 days after date of order (ADO). No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the solicitation notice, nor are specific budget ranges or award values disclosed. The procurement appears to be for standard military hardware components that will support ongoing defense operations and maintenance requirements. The relatively short response timeframe and specific military specifications suggest this may be addressing an immediate operational need for these specialized fastening components.
