Venus Dynamics LLC

Venus Dynamics LLC, a Houston-based minority-owned, woman-owned small disadvantaged business structured as a limited liability partnership, supplies precision mechanical components and fasteners to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor exclusively through small purchase orders and a single-award indefinite-delivery contract. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designation across its federal footprint.

Venus Dynamics operates with customer concentration that is extremely narrow by design. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 100% of awards, split between Aviation (88 awards, $670 thousand combined potential value) and Land and Maritime (21 awards, $28 thousand combined potential value). The vendor's entire portfolio centers on supplying hardware components — bolts, screws, fasteners, washers, gaskets, rivets, pins, nuts, seals, and specialized fastening devices — to support DLA's aviation and maritime logistics operations. Representative recent awards include a $250 thousand single-award indefinite-delivery contract with DLA Aviation (award date March 30, 2026, ceiling through March 29, 2027) for NSN 5305011144965 screws manufactured under NAICS 332722; a $5,610 purchase order from DLA Aviation for nonmetallic grommets (January 5, 2026); a $8,800 purchase order from DLA Aviation for setscrews (November 10, 2025); a $7,800 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for a magnetic seal assembly (February 9, 2026); and a $3,667 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for shouldered studs (May 29, 2025). The remaining 102 awards carry individual ceiling values under $6 thousand, typically in the $300 to $3,500 range.

Activity has been consistent and substantial in unit volume. Venus Dynamics received 60 awards in 2025 and 49 through mid-April 2026, indicating an annual run rate of roughly 90–100 purchase orders per year. Combined potential value across all 109 awards totals $698 thousand, with $353 thousand obligated to date (51% of combined potential value). The vendor holds no parent contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs) and operates exclusively under transactional purchase orders and the single-award IDC with DLA Aviation. This posture — high-frequency, low-unit-value buys from a single customer across two divisions — mirrors a vendor embedded in a supplier catalog rather than a strategic prime relationship. Venus Dynamics performs all work in Houston, Texas and carries no subcontractor footprint. The hardware manufacturing categories dominate the portfolio: Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing accounts for 56 awards; Hardware Manufacturing for 30 awards; and Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing for 11 awards. PSC codes track the same pattern — Nuts and Washers (35 awards), Fastening Devices (14 awards), Screws (12 awards), Packing and Gasket Materials (12 awards), and Rivets (11 awards). This vendor serves as a consumables supplier to one federal customer through routine procurement channels rather than as a strategic contractor participating in multi-agency vehicles or teaming arrangements.
