About the company
American Precision Gear Company Same Division, doing business as American Precision Gear Co, manufactures precision gears, shafts, and machined components for federal defense and logistics customers, operating almost entirely as a subcontractor (91% of recent awards are primes, but the source reflects historical posture; current footprint shows two primary defense primes). The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business, for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Foster City, California, and competes in the industrial machinery component space across Defense Logistics Agency supply vehicles and defense prime contractor programs.
The customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Defense Logistics Agency. DLA Land and Maritime alone accounts for 65 awards carrying $475 thousand in combined potential value, and the DLA family (including DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, DLA Troop Support Hardware, and undesignated DLA) represents the overwhelming majority of the vendor's federal footprint — 85% of awards by count. The Office of Naval Research, NASA Goddard Space Center, and other civilian agencies appear in the award tail but carry minimal dollar value. The top five customer entities account for 85% of recent awards.
American Precision Gear Co holds task orders under multiple DLA indefinite-delivery vehicles, with the largest volume under Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM74004D7735 (16 task orders, $112 thousand combined potential value) and SP074001D7643 (8 task orders). Additional vehicles include SP074002D1016, SP074004D7735, and SPM5L506D5A02, each with four or more task orders. The company's work falls predominantly under PSC codes for gears, pulleys, sprockets, and transmission chains (66 awards) and vehicular power transmission components (32 awards), with secondary exposure to hardware manufacturing and mechanical transmission equipment.
Recent subcontract work includes a December 2024 award from Raytheon for engineering and technical support on gears and shafts, and multiple December 2021 awards from Assurance Technology Corp for custom-machined gears to customer blueprint specifications under TERFS (Tactical Equipment Readiness and Field Support) procurement. The 2021 awards represent a significant volume of sub work, with at least sixteen line items awarded to American Precision Gear Co under the same prime and purchase-request numbers. Activity volume peaked in 2021 with fifteen awards, then contracted sharply; the most recent award is dated December 2024. Combined obligated dollars ($4.9 million) exceed combined potential value ($1 million) by a significant margin, suggesting mature production orders with full funding on legacy supply contracts. The company operates as a consumables and components supplier in the DLA supply base rather than a systems integrator or service contractor.
