Alpha Fasteners Corp

Alpha Fasteners Corp, a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Freeport, New York, supplies precision industrial fasteners and mechanical components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor exclusively, operating five single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA divisions under total small business set-aside designations. The company competes predominantly on small-business-set-aside delivery orders and IDCs within DLA's aviation, maritime, and troop support logistics divisions, with no subcontract footprint.

DLA Aviation dominates the customer concentration, accounting for 797 awards and $7.8 million in combined potential value across the vendor's portfolio, while DLA Land and Maritime (435 awards, $2.6 million) and DLA Troop Support Hardware (625 awards, $1.5 million) round out the top tier. Together, these three customer lines cover 97 percent of recent award count and 66 percent of combined potential value. The divergence between volume and dollars reflects Alpha Fasteners' operational model: DLA Aviation places the highest-volume orders but at lower unit values; DLA Land and Maritime concentrates more dollars in fewer transactions. Activity demonstrates significant concentration in the 2022 period (146 awards), declining sharply to nine awards in 2024 before recovering modestly to 27 awards in 2026. Combined potential value across all 2,103 prime awards totals $19.1 million, with $6.4 million obligated to date.

The vendor holds five single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA divisions, each valued at $250,000 to $350,000 and designated for total small business set-asides. Representative IDIQ holdings include a $250,000 DLA Aviation contract for shoulder screws (awarded September 2022, expiring September 2027), a $250,000 contract for welding studs (awarded July 2022, expiring July 2027), a $250,000 contract for bushing sleeves (awarded September 2022, expiring September 2023, since expired), and two recent contracts awarded June 2026 — a $350,000 vehicle for general fastener supply expiring June 2027 and a $350,000 vehicle for shouldered washers expiring June 2027. Delivery orders under these IDCs typically carry firm fixed-price terms in the sub-$5,000 range with four- to eight-month performance periods. Representative recent awards include a $9,025 electrical contacts purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (July 2026), a $4,527 setscrew delivery order from DLA Aviation (June 2026), and a $2,470 tube coupling purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (July 2026).

The vendor's product portfolio spans NAICS categories concentrated in fastener manufacturing — Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (506 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (457 awards), and Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (233 awards) — with PSC codes dominated by Nails, Machine Keys, and Pins (372 awards), Bearings, Plain, Unmounted (266 awards), and Bushings, Rings, Shims, and Spacers (195 awards). Concrete deliverables include bushings and sleeves, shoulder screws, welding studs, spur gears, electrical contacts, tube couplings, pins, fasteners, springs, washers, plugs, and related mechanical components manufactured at the Freeport facility. Performance occurs at the contractor's facility in Freeport, New York, with delivery to DLA depots throughout the continental United States and overseas consolidation points.

Fifteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $53 thousand, representing modest recompete exposure. The five DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime IDCs, which anchor the portfolio, face selective expirations: the bushing-sleeve contract has already expired (September 2023), while the welding-stud contract (July 2027) and shoulder-screw contract (September 2027) remain active through 2027. The two newly awarded 2026 IDCs (both expiring June 2027) constitute the vendor's near-term renewal cycle.
