Specialty Components & Fasteners, LLC

Specialty Components & Fasteners LLC, a small business manufacturer headquartered in Kerrville, Texas, sells precision-engineered fasteners and standard hardware components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor exclusively, with no subcontract footprint. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability corporation and competes full-and-open on all procurements; no SBA set-asides characterize the prime footprint, though two of its active indefinite delivery contracts carry Total Small Business set-aside designations.

Specialty Components & Fasteners manufactures socket head cap screws, hexagon cap screws, machine screws, self-locking nuts, plain hexagon nuts, bearing sleeves, bushings, washers, springs, and related fastening hardware for military aircraft maintenance and defense logistics supply. Representative work includes a $28.4 million Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for socket head cap screws (September 26, 2025), a $2.5 million single-award indefinite delivery contract from DLA Aviation for plain extended nuts for Seawolf Submarine applications (April 8, 2026), and an $350 thousand Total Small Business single-award indefinite delivery contract for general fastening components (May 29, 2026). The company also holds two previously established indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, each valued at $250,000, one designated as a total small business set-aside for socket head cap screws and the other for machine bolts and related fastening hardware. All recent work is performed at the awardee's facility in Kerrville, Texas.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division accounts for 1,260 awards and $8.5 million in combined potential value (90% of the portfolio by dollar), with DLA Land and Maritime contributing 187 awards and $558 thousand, DLA Troop Support Hardware placing 364 awards and $375 thousand, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment representing 1 award valued at $7 thousand. Activity has grown sharply across the past five years—from 24 awards in 2022 to 523 in 2024—but declined to 430 in 2025 and 177 through July 2026, reflecting seasonal and deployment-cycle volatility in DLA Aviation's supply orders. Ninety awards with combined potential value of $220 thousand reach completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure.

The top parent vehicles are single-award and multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts with various DLA divisions: IDC SPE4A623D5695 has generated 9 task orders worth $185 thousand, IDC SPE4A726D0254 has generated 3 task orders worth $108 thousand, and several others carry smaller order volumes. The vendor's award portfolio is dominated by NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing) and related hardware-manufacturing categories, with PSC codes weighted heavily toward screws, nuts and washers, bearings, springs, and fastening hardware. Individual purchase order and delivery order values typically range from several hundred dollars to approximately $40,000, reflecting the transactional nature of DLA Aviation's supply chain replenishment model. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor on DLA supply orders and has received over 1,800 awards since 2017, with 1,812 total awards in the source data, 100% prime with zero subcontract work.
