Power Steering Specialists, Inc.

Power Steering Specialists, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Westerville, Ohio, supplies steering gear components, Pitman arms, steering column shafts, and related seal kits to the Defense Logistics Agency as a 100% prime contractor under single-award and multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts and purchase orders. The company competes predominantly under small business set-asides — roughly half of recent awards carry Total Small Business or 8(a) Competitive designations — and holds no sub-award footprint.

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division dominates the customer base: 98 of 121 awards (96% of volume) valued at $2.6 million in combined potential value flow through DLA L&M for military vehicle maintenance and repair operations at domestic and overseas depots. Secondary DLA components include DLA Aviation (9 awards, $160 thousand) and DLA Troop Support Hardware (2 awards, $6 thousand), with minimal exposure to the Department of the Navy (2 awards). Awards concentrate in National Stock Numbers for steering gears and Pitman arms under NAICS 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing) and PSC 25 (Vehicular Equipment Components), with secondary work in suspension components and seal replacement kits.

Power Steering Specialists holds five active IDCs with DLA L&M: two new single-award indefinite delivery contracts awarded in January 2026 and December 2025, each with $350,000 ceilings running through January 2027 and December 2026 respectively; one $250,000 seal kit IDC through May 2026; and two completed or expiring vehicles from 2022–2023 with $250,000 ceilings. Purchase orders and delivery orders against these vehicles average $15,000 to $40,000 per transaction, with order placement cycles of four to twelve times per year per IDC. The most recent award activity includes a $46,747 Total Small Business purchase order (Jan 9, 2026), a $37,999 steering gear order (Jan 22, 2026), and a $32,400 delivery order (Feb 4, 2026).

Award volume has remained steady with minor fluctuation — six awards in 2022, five in 2023, nine in 2024, five in 2025, and seven awarded through early 2026. Combined potential value across 125 awards totals $2.8 million, with $1.7 million obligated (61% realization). The company's footprint is purely transactional, built on consistent small-order procurement of commodity automotive components by a single customer agency; no recompete cliff, subcontractor relationships, or multi-agency portfolio exists. SAM.gov registration dates to 2002, anchoring a two-decade relationship with DLA as a qualified small-disadvantaged supplier of military vehicle steering system parts.
