Century Fasteners Corp

Century Fasteners Corp, a Tampa, Florida-based small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S corporation, supplies standard commercial fasteners and precision-engineered hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor competes full-and-open, without set-aside designations on the majority of recent awards, though it holds two single-award IDIQs each valued at $350,000 set aside for total small business participation.

Century Fasteners Corp is ISO 9001:2008 and AS9120 certified as a master distributor and manufacturer. The source identifies it as a child entity of a parent company also named Century Fasteners Corp based in Elmhurst, New York. Recent work consists almost entirely of firm fixed-price purchase orders for standard commercial fastener items — machine screws, socket head cap screws, self-locking nuts, quick release pins, flat washers, bushings and sleeves, retaining rings, and rivets — supplied to DLA Aviation depots and DLA Land and Maritime locations across CONUS and OCONUS, with delivery timelines of 25 to 439 days after order. Representative orders include a $52.7 million commitment of self-locking nuts awarded April 6, 2026 (NSN 5310010089345), a $29.9 million order for self-locking nuts awarded March 2, 2026, and a $31.2 million close tolerance screw order awarded December 18, 2025. The vendor also holds two IDIQs with $350,000 ceilings each: a machine screw indefinite delivery contract awarded April 10, 2026, and a shoulder screw indefinite delivery contract awarded April 1, 2026, both set aside for total small business and running through April 2027.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. DLA Aviation accounts for 2,015 awards (67% of the 3,022 total) and $16.9 million of the combined $22.5 million potential value (75% by dollars). DLA Troop Support Hardware represents the second-largest customer with 860 awards and $4.7 million combined potential value. DLA Land and Maritime adds 132 awards and $899 thousand. Together, the DLA directorates account for 100% of measurable award activity across aviation, troop support, and land and maritime supply chains. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, the Department of the Air Force, and other federal agencies appear on only 12 awards combined. Award frequency has accelerated sharply — 253 awards in 2022 to 565 in 2025 — driven by high-velocity, low-dollar-per-transaction purchase order activity typical of DLA aviation supply chain replenishment. The source notes 112 awards (combined potential value $2.1 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure concentrated in DLA Aviation and DLA Troop Support purchase order streams.

The vendor's work is categorized under Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (NAICS 332722) on 2,046 awards, with Hardware Manufacturing (NAICS 332510) on 621 awards. PSC-level concentration shows screws (PSC 3110-20) accounting for 1,410 awards, nuts and washers (PSC 3120-20) for 527 awards, and fastening devices (PSC 3110-30) for 240 awards. The vendor reported subcontracts to L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems on a current-carrying wiring device manufacturing delivery order (award date July 16, 2025) and maintains historical subcontracting relationships with Lockheed Martin, L3Harris Technologies, and Honeywell International, though recent award activity is almost entirely prime.

Century Fasteners Corp operates at low dollar magnitude per transaction — the overwhelming majority of purchase orders range from several hundred to tens of thousands of dollars — driving high transaction volume and rapid inventory turnover. The vendor has obligated $18 million of its $22.5 million combined potential value across all awards, indicating established execution on committed work. This footprint reflects a specialized niche: commercial fastener supply to defense logistics agencies, with near-total dependency on DLA ordering.
