Arizona Aero Fasteners, Inc.

Arizona Aero Fasteners, Inc., doing business as Arizona Aero Fasteners Inc., is a minority-owned, woman-owned small business based in Moorpark, California, that manufactures and supplies precision aerospace fastener components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on a high-volume, transactional basis, with over five thousand federal awards concentrated almost entirely within DLA's fastener procurement framework. Arizona Aero Fasteners is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation classified as both minority-owned and woman-owned, competing primarily in full-and-open procurements without set-aside restriction on individual purchase orders, though three of its four underlying indefinite delivery contracts carry Total Small Business set-aside designations.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers exclusively on precision aerospace fasteners: close tolerance screws, machine bolts, shear bolts, shoulder bolts, pin rivets, close tolerance bolts, shoulder screws, machine screws, and related hardware components identified by specific National Stock Numbers. Representative recent work includes a $23.8 million close tolerance screw order with DLA Aviation (March 2026), a $20.2 million close tolerance screw order under Total Small Business set-aside (March 2026), a $19.8 million machine bolt order (December 2025), and a $19.4 million pin rivet order under Total Small Business set-aside (November 2025). All work is performed at Arizona Aero Fasteners' Moorpark facility, and the vendor operates as a prime contractor with no identified subcontracting relationships across its entire federal portfolio.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-source. DLA Aviation accounts for 2,167 awards ($18.1 million combined potential value) and DLA Troop Support Hardware accounts for 2,316 awards ($12.5 million). These two DLA components alone represent 4,483 of 5,242 total awards (86%) and account for approximately 93% of combined potential value across the portfolio. A third DLA component, Troop Support Construction and Equipment, adds 589 awards ($2.2 million). Together, DLA entities represent 100% of the vendor's federal customer base across seven named agencies, with the Coast Guard accounting for only five awards at $3 thousand. This concentration reflects Arizona Aero Fasteners' role as a specialized supplier to DLA's fastener procurement ecosystem rather than a diversified defense contractor.

Arizona Aero Fasteners holds four single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation, each valued at approximately $250,000 to $350,000, with completion dates extending through 2027 to 2031. Three carry Total Small Business set-aside designations. These contracts establish the framework under which DLA issues delivery orders and purchase orders on an as-needed basis without predetermined quantities. The top five parent vehicles by task-order count are Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM50003D0065 (60 task orders, $543 thousand), Indefinite Delivery Contract SP050003D0065 (52 task orders, $942 thousand), Indefinite Delivery Contract SP050004D0010 (34 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE5EY17D0526 (32 task orders, $40 thousand), and Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A622D0067 (31 task orders, $13 thousand). These vehicles anchor the vendor's transactional relationship with DLA's Hardware division.

Activity peaked in 2023 at 413 awards, declined to 310 in 2024, recovered slightly to 327 in 2025, and has slowed to 124 awards through the first seven months of 2026, suggesting either seasonal supply-chain adjustment or reduced procurement velocity at DLA. One hundred thirty awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.1 million, representing modest recompete exposure relative to the vendor's cumulative pipeline. The vendor has been registered in the System for Award Management since May 2001, indicating a quarter-century of continuous federal engagement focused on precision fastener supply to Defense Logistics Agency distribution operations.

NAICS concentration is extreme: approximately 78 percent of all federal awards (4,092 of 5,242) fall under NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), with screws and bolts accounting for 95 percent of Product Service Code distribution. Precision Turned Product Manufacturing (462 awards), Nonferrous Forging (247 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (188 awards) represent the only meaningful secondary categories. This specialization reflects Arizona Aero Fasteners' positioning as a single-product-line supplier within a narrow procurement niche rather than a multi-capability contractor.
