Thomas E LLC

Thomas E LLC, a Black American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Seattle, Washington, supplies standardized fastener components and aviation hardware to the Department of Defense Aviation directorate as a prime contractor exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The company holds Self-Certified Small Disadvantaged Business and DOT-Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise designations and operates as a partnership or limited liability partnership.

Thomas E LLC's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on commodity fastener manufacturing and supply — machine screws, hexagon head cap screws, solid rivets, shoulder screws, tapping screws, flat washers, and related hardware components. Representative recent work includes a $30,611.85 delivery order from DoD Aviation for solid rivets (ultimate completion June 2026), a $4,045.21 delivery order for hexagon cap screws (ultimate completion January 2026), a $2,779.00 delivery order for flat washers (ultimate completion January 2026), and a $1,430.00 purchase order for tapping screws (ultimate completion March 2026). All delivery orders and purchase orders are issued under Thomas E LLC's indefinite delivery contracts with DoD Aviation, priced on a firm fixed-price basis.

Customer concentration is extreme: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 15 of 16 awards (100% of combined potential value of $2.2 million), with a single $91 purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime rounding out the portfolio. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides; no subcontract activity is present in the source.

Thomas E LLC holds seven active indefinite delivery contracts with DoD Aviation, all awarded between September 2025 and April 2026. Three IDCs carry $350,000 ceilings (awarded November 2025, January 2026, and April 2026, extending through 2027–2031), and four IDCs carry $249,999.99 ceilings (awarded September, October, and October 2025, extending through 2030). These IDCs serve as vehicles for task orders spanning maintenance support, logistics services, technical expertise, engineering support, and administrative functions. Activity accelerated sharply: seven awards in 2025 and nine in 2026 year to date. The company registered with SAM.gov in May 2025, and sixteen awards in its first year of federal contracting indicate rapid ramp-up within a narrowly defined supplier niche. Combined dollars obligated to date total $44 thousand against $2.2 million in combined potential value, reflecting early stages of contract execution.
