C.e. Machine Co., Inc.

C.E. Machine Co., Inc. is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, specializing in manufacturing precision-machined parts and components for the aerospace and defense industries. The company is registered in SAM.gov and focuses on producing high-precision industrial hardware, with a primary emphasis on manufacturing components for military aviation, land, and maritime systems. As a small business, C.E. Machine Co., Inc. has established itself as a critical supplier of machined parts, serving both as a prime contractor and subcontractor to major defense companies, including The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Bell Textron Inc., and the Bell Boeing Joint Project Office.

The company has an extensive history of providing a diverse range of precision-machined components through federal contract awards, predominantly from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime. Its contract awards primarily involve the manufacture of aerospace and defense components such as bushings, sleeves, bearings, fittings, pins, structural supports, hinge components, and specialized mechanical parts. These contracts, typically firm fixed-price purchase orders, range in value from several hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. While most contracts are not set aside, C.E. Machine Co., Inc. has been awarded several total small business set-aside contracts, demonstrating its ability to compete effectively in the federal marketplace. The company supplies critical components for major military aircraft platforms including the F/A-18, F-15, and V-22, and has consistently delivered parts to prime contractors through numerous subcontract awards.

C.E. Machine Co., Inc. holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with DLA Aviation, each valued at $250,000. One IDV is set aside specifically for small businesses and focuses on bushing and sleeve components, while the other is a small business set-aside contract for plunger items. These IDVs provide DLA Aviation with a flexible procurement mechanism to quickly issue delivery orders for critical aerospace components. The contracts enable the agency to maintain a responsive and reliable supply chain for military and defense logistics programs, supporting the U.S. military and its partner nations. The IDVs demonstrate the company's capability to provide readily available commercial and industrial items that meet the specialized needs of defense aviation systems, with task orders ranging from machined parts to structural components.
