Based in West Chester Township, Ohio, the company has been registered in SAM.gov since January 3, 2002, and operates as a for-profit corporate entity.

Funding agencies awarding contracts to Blue Ash Tool & Die include the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, the U.S. Army Materiel Command, and the Naval Supply Systems Command.
