The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure 2,263 self-locking nuts, specifically identified by National Stock Number 5310000108413, through an electronic Request for Quote (RFQ) process. The solicitation targets manufacturers in the Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing sector (NAICS 332722) and will be released as a total small business set-aside opportunity. Quotes must be submitted electronically by January 21, 2025, with a delivery requirement to the DLA Distribution Depot at Hill within 87 days after order placement. The procurement falls under the Hardware and Abrasives product service category (PSC 53-P) and represents a straightforward acquisition of specific military-grade hardware components. All responsible sources are invited to submit quotes, which will be evaluated based on their compliance with the solicitation requirements and ability to meet the specified delivery timeline.

The total small business set-aside designation ensures that only small business entities are eligible to compete for this contract opportunity. The quantity of 2,263 nuts suggests a moderate-volume procurement that could represent a significant opportunity for a qualifying small manufacturing enterprise. While specific award value details are not provided, the contract involves delivering self-locking nuts to the DLA Distribution Depot at Hill, with a relatively short turnaround time of 87 days for order completion. No incumbent contractor information is disclosed in the solicitation notice, indicating this might be a new or recompeted procurement. The electronic submission requirement and digital availability of specifications emphasize the agency's preference for streamlined, technology-enabled procurement processes that reduce administrative overhead and facilitate broader vendor participation.
