Houston Drive Train Vehicle Component Sales, Inc.

Houston Drive Train Vehicle Component Sales, Inc., doing business as HDT Vehicle Component Sales, Inc., supplies automotive and aerospace drivetrain and vehicle maintenance spare parts to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor exclusively, operating under Total Small Business and full-and-open competitive vehicles with no subcontract activity. The vendor is a small business based in Hockley, Texas, with operations in Houston, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across DLA supply chain vehicles.

The vendor's concrete capability portfolio centers on discrete automotive and drivetrain components including ball and roller bearing assemblies, seals and gaskets, brake system parts (chambers, shoes, linings, drums, calipers, disc brakes), transmission and power train components (propeller shafts, universal joints, differentials, gears), hydraulic and mechanical assemblies, O-rings, filter elements, fasteners, and electronic components for military ground vehicles, aircraft, and maritime vessels. Representative recent work includes a $935,550 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on January 16, 2026, for cushioning pads (46,200 units), a $330,493 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime on April 27, 2026, for tie rod steering components under full-and-open competition, a $167,019 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime on March 10, 2026, for electronic components under full-and-open competition, and a $733,973 definitive contract from Army Contracting Command Warren on April 14, 2026, for 82 steering gears under full-and-open competition.

Customer concentration is extreme. DLA Land and Maritime dominates with 5,200 awards totaling $205.7 million combined potential value (71% of all awards), followed by DLA Aviation with 1,869 awards and $39.6 million, and DLA Troop Support Hardware with 1,125 awards and $20 million. The top five DLA divisions account for 99% of recent awards. Award volume has declined from 766 awards in 2022 to 220 in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting a three-year contraction despite sustained dollar value per award.

The vendor holds an extensive portfolio of single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, with 21 new IDCs awarded between January and June 2026, each carrying $350,000 ceilings and one-year performance periods or until-ceiling-reached clauses, primarily designated as Total Small Business set-asides. Representative vehicles include Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE5EY19D0572 (169 task orders, $1.4 million combined potential value), SPE7LX19D0201 (130 task orders, $7.7 million), SPE5EY14D0536 (91 task orders, $7.4 million), and SPE7LX14D0125 (73 task orders, $3 million). The largest existing DLA Land and Maritime IDCs have generated 169, 130, and 91 task orders respectively, with combined potential values ranging from $1.4 million to $7.7 million. A five-year IDC with DLA Aviation (Ultimate Completion Date June 20, 2031) carries a $350,000 ceiling with no set-aside designation.

Top NAICS categories reflect the vendor's component focus: Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (1,453 awards), Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (1,118 awards), Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing (982 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (741 awards), and Motor Vehicle Brake System Manufacturing (738 awards). Top PSC categories are Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel, and Track Components (1,691 awards), Packing and Gasket Materials (1,346 awards), Bearings, Antifriction, Unmounted (1,083 awards), and Vehicular Power Transmission Components (883 awards).

Recompete risk in the next twenty-four months is minimal: 44 awards with combined potential value of $972 thousand reach ultimate completion, representing less than one percent of the vendor's portfolio. The vendor operates as a prime exclusively, holding no subcontract positions and generating no sub-award activity across its federal footprint.
