A & A Fabrication And Polishing Corporation

A & A Fabrication And Polishing Corporation, a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Montebello, California, manufactures precision-machined aerospace and defense hardware for federal customers as both a prime contractor (25% of recent awards) and a subcontractor (75% of recent awards). The company is minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned; it operates without federal contract vehicles (GWACs or IDIQs) and competes full-and-open on prime purchase orders and as a sub on larger systems integrator contracts.

A & A's recent activity concentrates in space and aerospace fabrication. The company holds a $14.65 thousand prime purchase order from Naval Air Warfare Center for MQ-4C roller clamps (P/N AAF1220), awarded May 1, 2026 with firm fixed price and no set-aside designation. In its primary subcontractor role, A & A fabricates build-to-print hardware and machined components for Aerodyne-Sgt Engineering Services, LLC under the MIST II (Multidisciplinary Engineering Task Orders) contract supporting space flight and ground system hardware and software development — recent subs include flight retainers and tooling, titanium machined nonflight parts, stainless-steel enclosures and mounts, and quantities of forty-three to thirty-eight build-to-print parts. A & A also holds recent production-buy sub orders from Dynetics, Inc. for FY26 procurement of goods and services (September 2026) and a seal-shaft fabrication sub award from Southwest Research Institute on a federal grant.

Customer concentration sits with space and defense agencies. NASA Goddard Space Center (six awards), Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (two awards, $39 thousand combined potential value), and Army PEO Missiles and Space (two awards) account for all tracked awards. The top-category NAICS focus is Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (six awards), with Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing and Hardware Manufacturing representing the remainder. Awards per year have accelerated sharply — one award in 2024, one in 2025, and seven in 2026 — though the combined potential value on prime work remains modest ($39 thousand across all tracked awards). Combined dollars obligated ($828 thousand) substantially exceeds combined potential value, indicating invoiced performance significantly outpacing ceiling values, a posture typical of small-lot hardware manufacturing. Aerodyne-Sgt Engineering Services is the dominant subcontract prime, with five named sub awards supporting MIST II space hardware development spanning twenty-one months (April 2024 to May 2026).
