Optimum Logistic Solutions LLC

Optimum Logistic Solutions LLC, a minority-owned and woman-owned small business limited liability company based in Chicago, Illinois, supplies precision mechanical fasteners and hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, with no set-asides used across its federal award footprint.

The vendor specializes in supplying self-locking nuts, retaining rings, slotted washers, turnlock fasteners, setscrews, shoulder pins, machine screws, and cap screws for military equipment maintenance and repair. Recent representative awards include a $6,426 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime awarded October 16, 2025, for self-locking nuts with completion by November 17, 2025; an $8,100 purchase order from DLA Aviation awarded May 9, 2025, for retaining rings; a $3,086.50 purchase order from DLA Aviation awarded July 19, 2024, for socket head cap screws; and a $3,000 purchase order from DLA Aviation awarded April 14, 2025, for slotted washers. All work is performed in Chicago, Illinois.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The top two customer divisions account for 100% of recorded awards: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation holds 16 awards worth $27 thousand combined potential value, and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime holds 2 awards worth $7 thousand. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and competes only as a prime contractor under purchase orders. The award category concentration reflects the vendor's fastener specialization — 13 awards fall under Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (NAICS), with 5 under Hardware Manufacturing, and PSC work splits across Nuts and Washers (7 awards), Screws (6 awards), and Fastening Devices (4 awards).

Activity has accelerated modestly. The vendor recorded 7 awards in 2024 and 11 in 2025, with the most recent award dated October 16, 2025. Combined potential value across all eighteen awards is $34 thousand, with 100% obligated. Award values cluster in the sub-$10 thousand range, with individual purchase orders ranging from $40 to $8,100. The vendor has no parent vehicles, IDIQs, or BPAs — all work is transacted through individual purchase orders. With contracts completing through November 2025, the vendor faces recompete exposure on the full current portfolio within the next twelve months.
