Metricbolt.com, LLC

Metricbolt.com, LLC (doing business as Metricbolt), a small business fastener and mechanical hardware supplier based in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, operates as a prime contractor on federal purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts, competing predominantly in open federal procurement markets with no SBA set-aside certifications—though recent awards include two Total Small Business set-asides reflecting the vendor's eligible small business status.

Metricbolt's federal work centers entirely on the supply of precision mechanical fasteners and hardware components. The company manufactures and procures hexagon head cap screws, socket head cap screws, machine screws, self-locking nuts, flat and lock washers, and rivets for defense and aviation applications. Recent representative awards include a $250,393 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (Nov 25, 2025) for 4,532 self-locking hexagonal nuts with a June 8, 2026 completion date; a $35,422.75 firm fixed-price order (Oct 29, 2025) for machine screws with completion by September 10, 2026; a $26,935.81 award (Jul 9, 2025) for self-locking extended nuts; and numerous smaller orders ranging from $47 to $4,829.95 for various fastener types, all issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation component of the Department of Defense.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation component accounts for 63 of 71 total awards (89% by count) and $724 thousand of the $730 thousand combined potential value across all awards—97% of total dollar exposure. Four other customer organizations appear in the portfolio: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware ($3 thousand across five awards), the Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command ($3 thousand, one award), and the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Ground Combat Systems (two awards, no dollar magnitude). This concentration in a single customer office within DLA Aviation creates significant pipeline risk; 88% of Metricbolt's federal work derives from one procuring entity.

In March 2026, Metricbolt secured a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC W56HZV21D0001) from the Aviation agency with a $349,999.99 ceiling, a Total Small Business set-aside designation, and a performance period extending to March 1, 2031. The contract provides the Aviation agency indefinite-quantity ordering flexibility for specialized mechanical hardware components on firm fixed-price terms, with place of performance at Lake Worth Beach, Florida. Two task orders have been placed against this IDC to date.

Activity has accelerated sharply in recent periods: the vendor received 41 awards in 2025 alone (compared to four in 2024, three in 2023, and five in 2022), reflecting heightened federal procurement of fastener commodities. However, only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months ($35 thousand potential value), meaning minimal recompete exposure in the short term, though the newly awarded IDC carries a five-year performance window and will likely generate ongoing task orders.

Metricbolt's subcontract footprint is minimal: two sub-awards from General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. (both dated June 17, 2024) relate to production and systems-enhancement work on the M1A2 SEPV3 Abrams tank program, representing defense industrial base engagement rather than fastener supply. The subcontract awards carry no dollar magnitudes in the source.

The vendor's primary NAICS footprint aligns with its commodity focus: 66 awards fall under NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), with outlier awards in other nonferrous metal foundries and military armored vehicle manufacturing (the latter aligned with the GDLS subcontract). Procurement by product code tracks the same pattern: 43 awards are coded to Screws (PSC), 24 to Nuts and Washers, and one each to Rivets and Machine Keys. The vendor has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2009, indicating fifteen years of federal contractor standing, and all prime awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or the single-award IDC—no GWAC, BPA, or multi-award vehicle participation.
