Eight Star Parts LLC

Eight Star Parts LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Spring, Texas, supplies critical military repair parts and mechanical components to the Defense Logistics Agency across three divisions as a prime contractor, operating exclusively through small business set-asides and full-and-open competition with no subcontractor footprint. The company specializes in concrete deliverables: hydraulic and actuating cylinders, nonmetallic hose assemblies, gear assemblies, pulleys, cable reels, wire rope assemblies, valves, swivel joints, straps, brackets, and related mechanical hardware essential to military equipment maintenance and logistics operations, with order values historically ranging from under $300 to over $200,000 per award.

Eight Star Parts' customer concentration is tightly focused on DLA's three operating divisions. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates both volume and dollars at 169 awards worth $7.5 million in combined potential value (85% of the portfolio), while DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for 23 awards valued at $978 thousand and DLA Aviation holds 27 awards worth $308 thousand. All three customers are housed within the same parent agency, making DLA the exclusive federal customer. The vendor competes across both total small business set-aside and full-and-open designations; roughly 40% of recent awards carry total small business set-asides, the remainder unrestricted.

Eight Star Parts holds 14 active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and one with DLA Aviation, each valued at $250,000 to $350,000 ceilings and structured as single-award vehicles. These IDCs serve as the parent framework for the majority of the company's task orders and delivery orders. The top five IDCs by task order volume include five to ten task orders each, covering gear assemblies, hydraulic cylinders, actuating cylinders, pulleys, retaining straps, mounting brackets, and hose assemblies under firm fixed-price terms with delivery windows spanning 47 to 167 days after order placement. The company's NAICS footprint clusters heavily on rubber and plastics hose manufacturing (44 awards), speed changer and gear manufacturing (34 awards), and mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing (30 awards), reflecting core capability in hydraulic systems and power transmission components.

Activity has tracked year over year from 18 awards in 2022 to a peak of 67 awards in 2024, with 54 awards in 2025 and 15 to date in 2026, indicating consistent volume across DLA purchasing cycles. Combined potential value stands at $8.8 million with $3.2 million obligated (37% realization). Ten awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $653 thousand, representing modest recompete exposure concentrated in the near term. Eight Star Parts registered in SAM.gov in March 2022 and has secured over 219 federal prime awards, all from DLA, demonstrating rapid market penetration and sustained execution capability within a single customer ecosystem. The company performs all work from its Spring, Texas facility and directs all deliveries to DLA distribution centers across the Continental United States and international locations supporting global military readiness.
