Precision Mechanical Fastener Manufacturing – Hex Cap Screws

The contract calls for the manufacturing and supply of hexagon head cap screws to meet stringent military and industrial standards, requiring precision CNC machining, compliant threading per ANSI-B1.1, and zinc plating adhering to ASTM-B633 specifications. Each component must undergo rigorous inspection protocols to ensure dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and corrosion resistance, with all production processes validated to maintain consistency and reliability for defense applications. The work is scheduled for performance at a facility in Groton, Connecticut, with a zip code of 06340-4905, indicating a focus on localized delivery to meet DOD logistical requirements. Issued as a subcontract under the NAICS code 332721, this procurement is managed by the ASC Commodities Division of the Department of Defense, targeting qualified manufacturers capable of handling high-volume precision fastener production. The solicitation opened on July 23, 2026, and responses are due by July 31, 2026, providing a narrow window for qualified vendors to submit proposals. Although no set-aside designation is specified, the nature of the requirements and the involvement of a DOD agency suggest a high barrier to entry, favoring suppliers with proven expertise in defense-grade mechanical components and established quality assurance systems.
