NIA Industries, Inc.

NIA Industries, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Yorba Linda, California, manufactures and supplies aerospace-grade fasteners and hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders, competing without set-aside designations. NIA operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and competes exclusively in the commercial competitive space — all 447 recent awards carry no set-aside.

NIA's federal work is narrowly concentrated in standardized fastener supply. The company's capability portfolio centers on socket head cap screws, machine screws, close-tolerance screws, bolts, nuts, washers, and specialty fasteners such as shear bolts and tapping screws, all fabricated to aerospace and defense-grade specifications. Representative prime awards include a $17,017.70 January 2023 purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for 850,962 hexagon socket head cap screws, a $6,032 November 2023 DLA purchase order for machine bolts, and a $4,237.20 October 2023 DLA delivery of socket head cap screws. A single larger order, valued at $851,818.29 (per the GovTribe summary), carried a nominal completion date of November 2024 for machine screws to DLA Aviation; this contract is now past completion. The remaining 444 awards in the source data range from $300 to roughly $17,000, representing routine micro-purchases and small purchase orders for fastener stock replenishment.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency dominates NIA's footprint — DLA Troop Support Hardware alone accounts for 283 awards ($649 thousand combined potential value, 59% of total), with DLA Aviation contributing 96 awards ($207 thousand), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment 40 awards ($123 thousand), and DLA Land and Maritime 5 awards ($12 thousand). Together, these DLA subcomponents represent 98% of awards. The Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center appears in the top-five list with only 2 awards ($16 thousand), illustrating the exclusivity of NIA's relationship with DLA. NIA has no subcontract footprint — all 447 awards are prime contracts awarded directly to the company.

Activity has contracted sharply. NIA received 26 awards in 2022, 20 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 year-to-date. The most recent award dates to May 27, 2026 (a $580 socket head cap screw purchase order from DLA Aviation). This decline suggests either DLA consolidating supplier bases or NIA losing competitive positioning on routine replenishment orders. The combined potential value across all 447 awards sits at $1.1 million, with $1.2 million actually obligated — indicating strong execution of awarded work. However, the low average award size ($2,460 per contract) and minimal volume of recent task orders suggest NIA has become a tail-end vendor in DLA's fastener supply chain rather than a strategic supplier.

NIA's NAICS footprint confirms pure fastener manufacturing: 371 awards fall under NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), with secondary categories such as Precision Turned Product Manufacturing and Nonferrous Forging accounting for smaller subsets. The company's product scope centers on screws (292 awards) and bolts (141 awards). NIA operates from a single location in Yorba Linda, California, with no identified subcontractor network.
