Buckeye Veteran Parts LLC

Buckeye Veteran Parts LLC, based in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, supplies aircraft and maritime fasteners, connectors, springs, seals, gaskets, and mechanical components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across 294 purchase orders issued since mid-2025. The company is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and veteran-owned business (VOSB) — both self-certified — operating as a for-profit limited liability company. Buckeye Veteran Parts competes entirely full-and-open; none of its awards carry set-aside designations, though the company holds SDVOSB certification eligible for future set-asides should opportunities arise.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and operationally single-threaded. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 100% of the award count across two functional areas: DLA Land and Maritime (176 awards, $322 thousand combined potential value) and DLA Aviation (116 awards, $150 thousand combined potential value). The Department of the Navy and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment account for one award each. This concentration reflects Buckeye Veteran Parts' operational model: high-volume, low-dollar transactional supply of commodity fasteners, connectors, and mechanical components to DLA's two dominant purchasing streams. Work is performed in Pataskala, Ohio, under firm fixed-price purchase orders with completion dates clustered between August 2026 and December 2026 for awards issued in spring 2026.

Capability concentration is equally pronounced across NAICS and PSC categories. The top five NAICS codes account for 159 of the 294 awards, led by Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (64 awards), Electronic Connector Manufacturing (41 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (29 awards). The PSC footprint mirrors this: Connectors, Electrical (47 awards), Nuts and Washers (26 awards), Screws (25 awards), Coil/Flat/Leaf/Wire Springs (22 awards), and Hardware Commercial (21 awards). Representative awards include a $41,986 DLA Land and Maritime order for rotary switches (SDVOSB set-aside, July 2026), a $25,989 DLA Land and Maritime order for spur gears (May 2026), a $14,700 DLA Aviation order for retaining rings (March 2026), and dozens of sub-$5,000 orders for fasteners, washers, gaskets, springs, and electrical connectors across both functional areas.

Activity has accelerated sharply. The vendor recorded 41 awards in 2025 and 253 in 2026 — a sixfold increase in the annualized rate. However, this trajectory masks a critical recompete cliff: 100 awards (combined potential value $223 thousand) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing 47% of the current portfolio value. The combined obligated dollars ($564 thousand) exceed combined potential value ($474 thousand), a 119% ratio indicating invoicing against ceiling prices on completed or near-completed orders. This vendor operates as a high-velocity, low-margin parts supplier to DLA's supply chain; competition centers entirely on parts availability, lead time, price, and compliance with DLA's ordering and quality requirements. No parent vehicles, IDVs, GWACs, or strategic teaming relationships are present in the award record.
