ASC International, Inc.

ASC International, Inc., a for-profit industrial parts and components supplier based in Arlington, Texas, operates as a prime contractor delivering aerospace fasteners, hardware, and mechanical components to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and related Department of Defense entities through delivery orders and single-award indefinite delivery contracts. The company competes on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. ASC International is a subsidiary of Heico Corp, a diversified aerospace and defense manufacturer, and maintains a named subsidiary, Aero-Glen International LLC, also engaged in goods manufacturing.

ASC International's federal business centers entirely on commodity fastener and hardware supply to DLA. The vendor delivers stud assemblies, turnlock components, self-locking nuts, bolts, shear fasteners, couplings, clamps, grooves, receptacles, blind rivets, washers, screws, bushings, sleeves, and related industrial parts. Representative recent awards include a $17,205 delivery order from DLA Aviation for stud assembly turnlock components (June 2025), a $119,350 delivery order from the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command for blind rivets (September 2023, part of a $1.516 million single-award IDC through August 2027), and a $48,621.40 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for locknut tube fittings (April 2023). Work is performed at the company's Fort Worth, Texas facility.

Customer concentration is extreme and characteristic. The top five DLA components account for 97% of recent awards: Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware leads with 1,545 awards and $20.6 million combined potential value, followed by DLA Aviation (1,202 awards, $13.7 million), DLA Land and Maritime (572 awards, $7 million), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (576 awards, $5.5 million), and the DLA parent organization (224 awards, $2.5 million). The combined potential value of all recent awards is $51.4 million, with $47.2 million obligated (92% obligation rate). Top NAICS categories are Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (2,221 awards) and Hardware Manufacturing (977 awards). The vendor holds no government-wide contract vehicles and operates entirely through single-award DLA indefinite delivery contracts with ceilings of $250,000 to $1.516 million.

Award activity declined sharply in recent years. The vendor received 568 awards in 2022, 249 in 2023, only 15 in 2024, and 23 in 2025, with a single award recorded for 2026. Ten awards with combined potential value of $56 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. The vendor subcontracts minimally; source data names a single sub-award to Lockheed Martin Corporation for a bearing component (April 2023). ASC International's federal presence is supply-chain depth within DLA's commodity fastener procurement network rather than a broad prime contractor footprint.
