Rivet1 Corp

Rivet1 Corp, a small business aerospace fastener manufacturer based in Northport, New York, operates as a prime contractor supplying solid rivets, blind rivets, pin rivets, pin-rivet collars, self-locking nuts, washers, and related aviation hardware exclusively to the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation under total small business set-aside purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The company competes entirely under the total small business set-aside category and holds no subcontractor relationships; all work is performed directly at its Northport facility.

DLA Aviation represents the vendor's sole significant customer, accounting for 977 of 978 awards (99.9% of the portfolio) and $5 million in combined potential value across the past several years. The single non-Aviation award is a $450 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime. Rivet1 holds four single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, each valued at $250,000 and designated total small business set-asides, awarded between February 2024 and February 2025. These IDCs cover blind rivets (NSN 5320008286892, awarded February 25, 2025, completion February 25, 2026), blind rivets (NSN not specified, awarded March 6, 2024, completion March 6, 2025), and blind rivets and related fasteners (awarded February 20, 2024, completion February 19, 2025). From these IDCs, Rivet1 issues firm fixed-price delivery orders, typically ranging from under $100 to over $117,000, with performance periods of one to four months. Representative purchases include a $61,952 order for 968 pin-rivet collar units (awarded February 19, 2026), a $42,030 order for 11,675 pin-rivet collar units (awarded June 8, 2025), a $14,441.90 order for 3,455 solid rivets (awarded May 22, 2025), and a $16,460 order for 4,115 solid rivets (awarded March 16, 2026, the most recent award in the source).

Activity has declined sharply year over year—453 awards in 2023, 324 in 2024, 179 in 2025, and only 19 in 2026 through mid-March—with only one award facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting recompete exposure. The vendor's capability portfolio is tightly focused on standardized aviation fastener hardware: 898 of its awards carry the Rivets product service code, 73 cover nuts and washers, and 7 address screws, predominantly under NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing) and 332721 (Hardware Manufacturing). Deliveries support DLA depots domestically and overseas. Rivet1 performs all manufacturing directly without subcontractor engagement, positioning itself as a direct supplier rather than an orchestrator of sub-tier capacity.
