Reid Products Inc.

Reid Products Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of aerospace-grade fasteners and precision machined parts headquartered in Apple Valley, California, supplies pin-rivets, shear bolts, close-tolerance screws, and specialty hardware to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on firm-fixed-price purchase orders, competing predominantly full-and-open with no set-aside posture. The vendor has maintained federal registration since January 2002 and delivers the bulk of its work directly to defense customers rather than as a subcontractor; recent prime awards span pin-rivets valued at $9,600.63 (Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, March 2026), shear bolts at $9,152.00 (DLA Aviation, January 2026), and close-tolerance screws at $8,540.56 (DLA Aviation, January 2026).

Reid Products' customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Defense Logistics Agency procurement offices. The top five customer entities account for 96% of award count and anchor concentrated dollar exposure: DLA Troop Support Hardware leads with 323 awards ($1.5 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (299 awards, $1.4 million), DLA Aviation (249 awards, $1.3 million), DLA core (126 awards, $1 million), and the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson (37 awards, $14 thousand). All top customers are DLA divisions or subsidiary Air Force elements; no civilian agencies appear in the top tier. The rankings by award count and potential value align closely, reflecting that Reid's typical purchase orders range from $2,000 to $18,000.

Parent vehicles are modest in scale. Reid holds seats on a GSA Blanket Purchase Agreement (GS06FB1695) with 11 task orders, an IDC SP050003D0049 carrying 6 task orders and $189 thousand combined potential value, and three additional IDCs with between one and three task orders each. These vehicles do not anchor the vendor's business — the overwhelming majority of awards are direct DLA purchase orders placed against standing hardware-supply slots rather than larger IDVs.

Activity has accelerated in recent years: one award in 2022, ten in 2023, eighteen in 2024, and thirty in 2025, with seven awards recorded in the first four months of 2026. The combined potential value across all awards sits at $37.3 million, with $8.5 million (23%) obligated to date. Twelve awards carrying combined potential value of $83 thousand complete within the next twenty-four months, a modest recompete cliff reflecting the high-velocity, low-dollar-per-order nature of Reid's DLA business.

Reid subcontracts to two major defense primes on aerospace fastener supply. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation accounts for the larger share, with twelve recent sub-awards (July 2024 through December 2025) for bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing on the Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared Polar Space Vehicles program. The Boeing Company holds three sub-awards (September 2024 through January 2025) for common aerospace commodities including socket head cap screws under a six-month support UCA contract. Sub work represents less than 2% of Reid's total award portfolio by count.

Reid's capability footprint is narrow and commodity-focused. The vendor manufactures fasteners within three NAICS categories: Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (584 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (276 awards), and Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (34 awards). At the PSC level, Bolts account for 376 awards, Rivets for 309, Screws for 145, Nuts and Washers for 55, and Nails, Machine Keys, and Pins for 47. This is a precision-commodity supply business embedded in the DLA distribution network rather than a systems integrator or professional-services firm. Work performs at the Apple Valley facility; the vendor does not maintain multiple manufacturing sites across the source material.
