Butt Fareed Ahmad

Precision Machining Co., a sole proprietorship owned by Butt Fareed Ahmad based in Hurst, Texas, manufactures precision-machined fasteners, hardware components, and mechanical parts for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, competing predominantly full-and-open with no set-asides on the majority of awards while holding two Total Small Business set-aside indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor is minority-owned (Subcontinent Asian American-owned) and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, operating under NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing) and related fabricated metal product categories.

Precision Machining Co. supplies socket head cap screws, hexagon head cap screws, machine screws, flat washers, lock washers, nuts, bolts, spacers, machine keys, pins, bushings, adapters, and retaining rings to support military equipment maintenance and repair operations. Recent prime awards include a $39,933 purchase order from DLA Aviation for machine screws (Jul 17, 2025), a $30,690.71 Total Small Business set-aside for machine screws (Mar 9, 2026), a $30,650.40 Total Small Business set-aside for plain rectangular nuts (Jan 5, 2026), and a $99,918.00 Total Small Business set-aside for insulator bushings (Feb 4, 2026). The vendor also holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation: a $250,000 ceiling single-award IDC for straight spacers awarded March 5, 2025 (through March 5, 2026), and a $350,000 ceiling single-award IDC for socket head cap screws awarded March 12, 2026 (through March 12, 2027), both designated Total Small Business set-asides.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded. DLA Aviation accounts for 616 awards (64% of the 959-award portfolio) worth $3.4 million in combined potential value; DLA Troop Support Hardware places 265 awards worth $888 thousand; DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 78 awards worth $210 thousand. Together these three DLA divisions represent 100% of recent activity. Award volume has grown sharply: 35 awards in 2022 to 260 in 2025, with 92 awards in 2026 year-to-date. The combined potential value across all awards is $4.5 million, with $2.3 million obligated (50% realized). Within the next twenty-four months, 41 awards carrying $272 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion, creating recompete exposure for the vendor and opportunity for competitors.

The vendor competes almost entirely through firm fixed-price purchase orders on full-and-open basis; however, roughly one-quarter of awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations. Work is performed in Hurst, Texas, with deliveries directed to DLA distribution depots across the continental United States and overseas installations. The category footprint reflects commodity-like hardware supply: Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing dominates the portfolio (556 awards), followed by Hardware Manufacturing (189 awards), with smaller exposure to fabricated wire products, pipe fittings, and miscellaneous metal fabrication. PSC concentration centers on Nuts and Washers (309 awards), Screws (174 awards), and Nails, Machine Keys, and Pins (141 awards).

Precision Machining Co. operates as a 100% prime contractor with no sub-award activity in the source data. The vendor holds no parent contract vehicles, GWACs, or government-wide schedules; all work flows through direct DLA purchase orders and single-award IDIQs. This posture — deep DLA customer concentration, high transaction volume, low dollar magnitude per award, zero sub-contract footprint, and commodity-hardware focus — positions the vendor as a specialized supplier within DLA's tactical spare-parts ecosystem rather than a prime integrator or broader federal IT or services contractor.
