Ponski, Bogdan M

Ponski, Bogdan M, doing business as Trina Manufacturing, manufactures precision metal fasteners and hardware components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a woman-owned small business prime contractor, competing primarily full-and-open with occasional total small business set-asides. The company is a sole proprietorship based in Brighton, Michigan, registered in the System for Award Management since 2010. Its capability footprint is narrowly focused on standardized metal pins, fasteners, washers, shims, and related hardware components used in military equipment maintenance and logistics operations, delivered through purchase orders issued by DLA divisions.

Trina Manufacturing operates exclusively within the Defense Logistics Agency across four DLA sub-agencies. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware accounts for 286 awards with $389 thousand in combined potential value, and the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 147 awards with $203 thousand, together representing the entire customer base. Smaller volumes flow through the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (4 awards, $3 thousand) and the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (1 award, $4 thousand). Representative recent work includes a $5,036.90 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation for straight headed pins (NSN 8512036224) awarded in April 2026, a $4,236.54 no-set-aside delivery for straight headed pins (NSN 8509732843) from DLA Aviation in February 2023, and a $7,382.76 no-set-aside purchase order for straight headless pins (NSN 8509054725) from DLA Aviation in April 2022. Individual order values typically range from under $200 to approximately $11.3 thousand, with all work performed at the company's Brighton facility.

Activity has contracted sharply in recent years. The company received 58 awards in 2022, 26 in 2023, and only 3 in 2024 before recovering slightly to 16 in 2025 and 7 year-to-date in 2026. Combined potential value across all 438 awards in the source totals $600 thousand, with $599 thousand obligated. Only 2 awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $10 thousand in combined potential value, representing minimal recompete cliff exposure. The vendor's product portfolio concentrates almost entirely on the Nails, Machine Keys, and Pins PSC category (412 of 438 awards) and related hardware manufacturing NAICS codes, with no subcontractor relationships or parent contract vehicles documented. Trina Manufacturing competes as a direct prime supplier to DLA micro-purchase and purchase-order processes rather than through IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs.
