Trend Tool, Inc.

Trend Tool, Inc., doing business as Trend Tool Inc., manufactures and supplies standardized mechanical components and industrial hardware for defense applications as a prime contractor under multiple indefinite-delivery contracts and purchase orders with the Defense Logistics Agency. A woman-owned small business subchapter S corporation headquartered in Spring Lake Park, Minnesota, with operations in Fridley, Minnesota, Trend Tool competes on full-and-open basis and under Total Small Business set-asides, with the majority of its federal work concentrated in small-business-set-aside awards across Defense Logistics Agency divisions.

Trend Tool's concrete capability portfolio centers on vehicle door latches, door handles, window regulators, sun visors, springs, fasteners, seal nuts, mounting brackets, hinges, lock assemblies, cylinder assemblies, and related mechanical hardware essential to military vehicle and equipment maintenance. Representative work includes a $20.2 million purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for vehicle door latches under a Total Small Business set-aside (awarded January 21, 2025), a $53.2 million delivery order for cylinder assembly components also under a Total Small Business set-aside (awarded July 28, 2025), a $90.1 million purchase order for vehicle door latches under a Total Small Business set-aside (awarded December 31, 2024), and a $49.7 million purchase order for seal, plain components (awarded January 14, 2025). The company holds 23 active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, each valued between $250,000 and $350,000, with estimated annual delivery order frequencies ranging from three to twelve orders per vehicle, enabling streamlined recurring procurement of standardized hardware components.

Customer concentration runs heavily to Defense Logistics Agency divisions. The top five customer agencies account for 94% of awards. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates with 1,849 awards valued at $44.7 million combined potential value, followed by Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware (523 awards, $11.6 million), Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (323 awards, $2.8 million), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (217 awards, $2.9 million), and Defense Logistics Agency unspecified divisions (69 awards, $506 thousand). The dollar rankings align closely with award count—Land and Maritime and Troop Support Hardware together represent 78% of combined potential value—reflecting Trend Tool's position as a standardized-parts supplier rather than a large-contract prime.

Trend Tool holds 23 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime as parent vehicles. Top vehicles by task order count include Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A616D0249 (11 task orders, $212 thousand combined potential value), SPE7L222D60AF (11 task orders, $12 thousand), W9098S14D0046 (11 task orders, $104 thousand), SPE7L122D60KH (10 task orders, $14 thousand), and SPE7L322D62AE (10 task orders, $78 thousand). Each IDC carries a typical ceiling of $250,000 to $350,000 and enables DLA to issue multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders throughout the contract term, with individual order values typically ranging from $2,000 to $6,700. The five IDCs named above represent deliveries to Defense Logistics Agency depots across Continental United States and Outside Continental United States locations.

Activity has declined year over year. Trend Tool recorded 245 awards in 2022, 166 in 2023, 148 in 2024, and 124 in 2025, with only 23 awards issued through April 2026. Combined potential value across 3,166 total awards stands at $80.7 million, with $23 million obligated to date (29% realization rate). Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $52 thousand—a minimal recompete cliff reflecting the absence of large, imminent expirations in the visible pipeline.

Trend Tool operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source reports zero subcontract awards. The company's set-aside posture across the prime footprint shows recurring Total Small Business designations on high-value purchases and most IDC awards, with competitive (non-set-aside) full-and-open awards also present but secondary. NAICS concentration centers on Hardware Manufacturing (1,008 awards), Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (263 awards), and Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (217 awards), reflecting the standardized-component nature of the work. Product Service Code concentration tracks the same profile: Hardware, Commercial (969 awards) and Vehicular Furniture and Accessories (630 awards) dominate. Registration in the System for Award Management extends to March 2002, with active status maintained through the source date.
