Petit Tool Company

Petit Tool CO. The, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Thomaston, Connecticut, supplies precision-engineered mechanical hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across 334 federal awards totaling $4.5 million in combined potential value. The vendor competes predominantly under small business set-asides—SDVOSB and Total Small Business—and holds SBA certifications in both categories, expiring August 26, 2028.

Petit Tool's federal footprint is entirely concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency, with zero subcontract activity. The vendor supplies standardized NSN-identified mechanical hardware to four DLA customer segments: DLA Land and Maritime (136 awards, $2.6 million), DLA Aviation (125 awards, $1.5 million), DLA Troop Support Hardware (53 awards, $317 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (20 awards, $121 thousand). The top two customers account for the full dollar value, with Land and Maritime anchoring the relationship. Representative recent awards include a $84.7 million SDVOSB purchase order for cam profile arresting components (NSN 8511354721) from DLA Land and Maritime on May 13, 2025; a $37.1 million SDVOSB purchase order for quick-release plungers (NSN 8510494125) also from Land and Maritime on March 8, 2024; and a $48.6 million SDVOSB purchase order for recoil cannon guides (NSN 1025015243184) from Land and Maritime on July 11, 2022.

Petit Tool holds four active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA valued at $250,000 to $350,000 each. The most recent IDC, awarded February 25, 2026, carries a $350,000 ceiling for retainer cartridge components (NSN 1095013038409) under a Total Small Business set-aside, running through February 2027 and anticipated to generate three orders annually. A second IDC awarded March 11, 2025, for the same part number and category ($250,000 ceiling), runs through March 2026 with an estimated ten orders per year. A third IDC for engine plates (NSN 8511278731) carries a $250,000 ceiling through January 2026, also Total Small Business set-aside. The fourth, for holder and base plate components, extends through July 2028 at $250,000. These vehicles enable rapid issuance of firm fixed-price delivery orders for spare parts, with typical order quantities of six to ten units minimum and delivery windows of 90 to 153 days.

Activity has grown from 18 awards in 2022 to 31 in 2025, with 3 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Across all awards, only $90 thousand in combined potential value reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window. The vendor's NAICS concentration centers on hardware manufacturing (90 awards) and other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (64 awards), with PSC codes dominated by commercial hardware (95 awards) and bushings, rings, and spacers (27 awards). All work is performed at Petit Tool's Thomaston, Connecticut facility with no subcontractor footprint, and Petit Tool operates as a prime contractor only. The vendor's portfolio demonstrates consistent expertise in supplying small-quantity, high-precision mechanical components to support DoD supply chain requirements, with a long vendor history dating to 2010 SAM registration and sustained placement across multiple DLA divisions.
