Dallas Texas Tool & Die, Inc.

Dallas Texas Tool & Die, Inc., doing business as Texas Tool & Die, is a woman-owned, veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Dallas, Texas, that supplies precision metal fabrication and industrial hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across all 1,098 of its recent federal awards. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with no federal contract IDV vehicles held as a prime and no participation in government-wide acquisition contracts; all work flows through single-award and competitive purchase orders and delivery orders issued directly by DLA divisional contracting offices.

Texas Tool & Die's capability footprint centers on manufacturing stamped, machined, and fabricated metal components for military logistics and equipment maintenance. The product portfolio spans angle brackets, mounting brackets, connecting link rigs, retaining straps, spacers, access covers, hinges, handles, flanges, vehicle body panels, and specialty hardware—primarily National Stock Number (NSN) items in the 8511, 3040, 5340, and 5365 series. Representative awards include a $57,225 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Construction and Equipment for fire extinguisher brackets (November 2024); a $10,016 firm fixed-price order from DLA Land and Maritime for metal molding (January 2025); and a $12,913 order for fender braces also from Land and Maritime (March 2026). Individual order values cluster between $175 and $57,225, with most awards falling in the $1,000–$5,000 range. The company has maintained active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA since at least 2024, including single-award total small business set-asides for angle brackets ($250,000 ceiling, July 2025), connecting link rigs ($350,000 ceiling, November 2025), retaining straps ($250,000 ceiling, October 2024), and tapered spacers ($250,000 ceiling, September 2024). The most recent IDC award, a $350,000 mounting bracket contract, was awarded January 12, 2026, and runs through January 2027.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 438 awards (40% of the total portfolio) carrying $3.7 million in combined potential value; DLA Troop Support Hardware accounts for 430 awards (39%) carrying $1.6 million; DLA Aviation represents 158 awards (14%) carrying $535 thousand; and DLA Construction and Equipment represents 52 awards (5%) carrying $424 thousand. Combined, DLA divisions generate 99% of awards and 98% of potential value. No other federal agency appears in the source material.

Activity has grown substantially over the five-year window, rising from 40 awards in 2022 to a peak of 147 in 2024, then declining to 86 in 2025 and 52 in the first half of 2026. The trajectory suggests maturation of the DLA relationship rather than diversification into new customers. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $6 thousand—a minimal recompete cliff. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $2.4 million against $6.3 million in combined potential value, indicating consistent order flow but moderate dollar velocity and high reliance on small orders.

The vendor competes exclusively under full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside vehicles; 100% of recorded awards are prime awards with no subcontract activity captured. NAICS concentration reflects the hardware manufacturing specialization: 601 awards fall under 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing), 186 under 332721 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), 36 under 332995 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), and 31 under 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing). All work is performed at the company's Dallas, Texas facility. The company's SAM registration dates to 2003, anchoring two decades of DLA supplier history and positioning Texas Tool & Die as an embedded, recurring source for lower-value precision metal components supporting military equipment maintenance and logistics operations across DLA's continental and overseas depots.
