Redline Fasteners Inc.

Redline Fasteners Inc., doing business as American Fastening Systems, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Oxnard, California that supplies fasteners, hardware, and fastening tools to the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution as a prime contractor across 115 purchase orders totaling $738 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurement, with no set-aside designations on the majority of awards; where set-asides appear, they are Total Small Business designations on roughly 12% of recent orders. The company has served federal customers since at least 2003, with consistent annual award volume between one and fifteen orders per year over the past five years.

Redline Fasteners' capability footprint is concrete and narrow: the vendor manufactures and stocks nails (72 awards across the recent portfolio), bolts and carriage bolts (19 awards), screws (10 awards), washers, staples, wire stitching, and air-powered fastening tools. Category concentration reflects the tangible product mix: Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing dominates at 50 awards, followed by Steel Wire Drawing and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (18 awards each). Representative work includes a $25,474 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Distribution in July 2023 for DUO-FAST nails (2.25 inches by 0.099 inches), a $650,000 firm fixed-price order in August 2023 for one-inch staples, a $17,149 Total Small Business award in July 2024 for steel tap bolts (1/2"-13 x 1-1/4"), and a $28,741 Total Small Business order in April 2026 for #8 x 1.125-inch star drive screws. All orders are firm fixed-price purchase orders with delivery from the contractor's Oxnard facility or, less frequently, from distribution points in Macon, Georgia, Bremerton, Washington, or Texarkana, Texas.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution accounts for 100% of the vendor's 115 prime awards and $738 thousand in combined potential value across the sourced data. The Department of the Navy Installations Command appears on two awards with no dollar figures disclosed. Place of performance spans multiple sites — the vendor operates from Oxnard as its primary location but also performs work from Macon, Bremerton, and Texarkana.

The vendor sits on two Blanket Purchase Agreements: SP330017A5009 (42 task orders, $171 thousand combined potential value) and SP330017A5001 (6 task orders, $19 thousand combined potential value), both issued by the Defense Logistics Agency. These BPAs account for 48 of the 117 awards and support the vendor's recurring order flow from DLA Distribution.

Activity has grown modestly: the vendor received one award in 2021, then moved to 15 awards in 2023, 13 in 2024, and 14 in 2025, with six awards in the first four months of 2026. Obligated dollars total $565 thousand against the $738 thousand combined potential value, indicating 77% of potential value has been funded to date. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the sourced data. With 115 awards concentrated on two DLA BPAs and facing routine renewal cycles, the vendor's pipeline depends on continuation or recompete of those agreements; the narrow customer base and single-agency concentration present both operational stability and competitive vulnerability.
