Specialty Components & Fasteners, LLC

Specialty Components & Fasteners, LLC, doing business as Specialty Components & Fasteners LLC, is a small, for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Kerrville, Texas, that specializes in manufacturing and distributing precision-engineered fasteners and standard hardware components for defense logistics applications. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since January 12, 2017, the company serves as a critical supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense through multiple contract vehicles with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). As a small business manufacturer of goods, Specialty Components & Fasteners has established itself as a reliable provider of essential mechanical components that support the maintenance, repair, and operational readiness of military aircraft, ground vehicles, and other defense systems across continental United States and overseas military installations.

The company has received over 240 prime federal contract awards from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime divisions, exclusively through purchase orders and delivery orders valued between approximately $500 and $39,000 per award. These procurement actions represent routine acquisitions of standardized hardware components critical to military equipment maintenance operations, including hexagon cap screws, socket head cap screws, machine screws, machine bolts, self-locking nuts, bearing washers and sleeves, bushings, springs, spacer rings, and various other fastening and mechanical components. The vast majority of awards carry no set-aside designation, reflecting open competition procurement practices, though several significant orders have been designated as total small business set-asides, including awards for helical compression springs ($18,374.20), socket head cap screws ($29,855.70), bushing sleeves ($26,169.50 and $10,754.70), extended plain nuts ($39,177.82), hexagon head cap screws ($20,628.30 and $7,607.30), and self-locking nuts ($19,922.30). All contract awards are funded exclusively by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, with work performed at the company's Kerrville, Texas facility. The company has not been identified as a subcontractor on any federal contracts; all awards are executed as prime contractor arrangements.

Specialty Components & Fasteners, LLC currently maintains two active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, each valued at $250,000 and providing flexible procurement vehicles for critical hardware acquisitions. The first IDC, effective from January 3, 2025, through January 3, 2030, is designated as a non-set-aside contract for the procurement of machine bolts and related fastening hardware. The second IDC, with a period of performance from December 19, 2024, through December 18, 2029, is designated as a total small business set-aside contract specifically for the procurement of socket head cap screws and related components. Both indefinite delivery contracts support DLA Aviation's mission to maintain inventory and supply critical hardware components essential for military equipment maintenance and repair operations. These IDVs serve as umbrella agreements enabling the issuance of individual purchase orders and delivery orders as operational needs arise, streamlining the procurement process and ensuring rapid access to essential fastening components across military service locations. The contracts have generated numerous task orders and purchase orders since their award dates, with Specialty Components & Fasteners demonstrating consistent capability in delivering the volume and quality of components required to sustain Department of Defense operational readiness.
