Retainer, nut and BO

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting quotes for retainers and nuts (NSN 5340015263909) through a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This is a hardware manufacturing procurement falling under NAICS code 332510 and PSC category 53 (Hardware and Abrasives). The solicitation requires submission of electronic quotes only, with no hard copies, specifications, plans, or drawings available. All responsible sources are encouraged to submit timely quotes, which will be evaluated and considered equally. The solicitation was posted on January 12, 2026, with a firm quote due date of January 23, 2026, providing a 11-day response window for interested vendors.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business concerns. The contract requires delivery of 1,000 units to DLA Distribution San Diego within 230 days after order placement. Three approved sources are identified: NSN 76301 ST3M475C12, 80539 ST3M475C12, and 97393 SLR4024C12, though quotes from other sources meeting specifications will be considered. The relatively modest quantity of 1,000 units and established approved sources suggest this is a routine supply requirement for defense logistics operations. Award will be made to the lowest-priced, responsive quote from a qualified small business vendor meeting the delivery timeline.
