M D & Associates Staffing, LLC

M D & Associates Staffing, LLC, a Black American-owned, minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Hoover, Alabama, supplies defense-critical fastener components and ammunition to the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Army as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open purchase orders. The sole proprietorship operates as an ISO-9001-certified supplier of self-locking nuts, socket head cap screws, hexagon cap screws, lock washers, and related fastening materials for naval shipboard systems, along with shotgun ammunition for military training and operations.

M D & Associates' customer concentration is dominated by the Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command, which accounts for 21 of 25 prime awards and $1.3 million of the $1.5 million combined potential value across the vendor's recent footprint. The remaining four awards split between the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Law Enforcement Training Center ($85 thousand for 9mm and 5.56 ammunition), the Department of the Army's Office of the Secretary ($104 thousand for shotgun ammunition), the U.S. Coast Guard ($31.6 thousand for self-locking nuts used on MH-60T helicopters), and U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces ($39.4 thousand for cap screws). Naval Supply Systems Command purchases represent approximately 87% of dollars and 84% of award count. Activity has accelerated sharply: eight awards in 2025 compared to seventeen through September 2026, with most awards classified under PSC 5310 (Nuts and Washers) or PSC 5305 (Screws). Representative work includes a $553.9 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command in March 2026 for heavy hex self-locking nuts delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard; a $207.5 thousand unset-aside order from Naval Supply Systems Command in September 2025 for self-locking cap screws; and a $131.9 thousand total small business set-aside from Naval Supply Systems Command in May 2026 for socket head cap screws meeting Level 1 SUBSAFE material specifications for submarine use.

Six awards valued at $497 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, competing across total small business set-asides (approximately 16 of 25 awards) and full-and-open purchase orders (approximately 9 of 25 awards). All work is performed at the vendor's Hoover, Alabama facility, with delivery primarily to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine.
