Tacoma Screw Products, Inc.

Tacoma Screw Products, Inc., based in Tacoma, Washington, manufactures and distributes commercial fasteners—screws, nuts, bolts, washers, studs, and related industrial hardware—as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense and Defense Logistics Agency on a full-and-open basis, with no recurring small business set-aside pattern across the footprint.

The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in a single customer: the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accounts for 1,182 of 1,225 total prime awards (89% coverage) and $3.6 million of the combined $5.1 million potential value (71%). A secondary customer set includes the Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (12 awards, $1.1 million), the U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces (20 awards, $125 thousand), and the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution (3 awards, $256 thousand). The concentration is extreme: NAVSEA's share means competitive exposure is predominantly to one buyer issuing small-value purchase orders ($1,000 to $40,000 range, occasionally larger) for individual fastener components or job lots. Recent activity shows 86 awards in 2026 (through mid-April), 110 in 2025, 78 in 2024, and 101 in 2023—stable volume in the 80–110 range year over year.

Tacoma Screw Products holds a Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Blanket Purchase Agreement (multiple-award vehicle, $250,000 ceiling, awarded August 2, 2021, through August 2, 2026) that serves as the parent vehicle for task orders to DLA. Primary work is procured through simplified acquisition purchase orders under NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), with PSC codes concentrated on screws (839 awards), nuts and washers (168 awards), bolts (98 awards), and studs (81 awards). The company has also received a handful of awards under larger Army and Navy IDIQs (W25G1V07A0508, N0040682C0643, N0040682C2105), though task-order volume and potential value under those vehicles are minimal.

A small fraction of awards—approximately 4 of the visible recent awards—carry Total Small Business set-aside designations (e.g., a $25,250 hex nut order from NAVSEA in December 2025, a $32,814 NUC-coded award in January 2025, a $18,412 self-locking hexagon nut order in July 2025, and a $14,694 full-body stud order in July 2025). However, the overwhelming majority are competed full-and-open, suggesting the vendor is registered as a small business but does not anchor its strategy to set-asides. Recent overhead in award summaries notes the company has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2001 and has been performing directly on the naval supply chain since at least 2001.

Only two sub-awards appear in the source data: one from January 2026 noting SRTS Pacific Northwest receives screws and parts for stevedoring support, and one prior sub-award with no identifying prime. The vendor's model is almost entirely prime-driven, with sub engagement negligible.

Recompete exposure is minimal: only 2 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, combined potential value $17 thousand. The vendor's typical contract lifecycle is short (three to five months), and new orders flow consistently, creating high transactional volume rather than recompete cliff risk.
