Capy Machine Shop Inc.

Capy Machine Shop Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer of precision-machined aerospace and aviation components, operates as a prime contractor (100% of awards) supplying the Defense Logistics Agency with specialized metal parts for military aircraft systems and defense logistics operations. The company is headquartered in Melville, New York, with performance locations in Huntington Station and Melville, and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, though many awards also issue without set-aside designation to qualified sources.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on precision manufacturing of structural and mechanical aerospace components: aircraft fasteners (bolts, screws, pins), actuator assemblies and pistons, landing gear support equipment, aircraft access covers and doors, hinges and latches, bearings and bushings, tubes and fittings, and miscellaneous metal structural components. Representative prime awards include a $438,873.40 total small business set-aside for structural support components to DLA Aviation (July 2025), a $753,471.40 set-aside for slide hooks to DLA Land and Maritime (July 2025), a $568,578.50 set-aside for aircraft access covers to DLA Land and Maritime (April 2025), and a $350,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation (November 2025).

Customer concentration runs heavily to Defense Logistics Agency components. The top five funding organizations account for 95% of recent awards: DLA Aviation leads with 2,072 awards and $72 million combined potential value, followed by DLA Land and Maritime (410 awards, $15.9 million), DLA organization-wide (382 awards, $4 million), DLA Troop Support Hardware (165 awards, $3.3 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (136 awards, $3.3 million). Naval Supply Systems Command and Air Force Materiel Command represent the only significant non-DLA customers, each with under $8 million. Top NAICS codes are Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (1,851 awards) and Aircraft Manufacturing (302 awards).

Capy Machine Shop holds five single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, with ceiling values ranging from $250,000 to $350,000 and performance periods extending through 2030. These IDV vehicles, primarily designated as total small business set-asides, serve as the primary mechanism for task order issuance. The vendor places the majority of work through these parent vehicles rather than standalone purchase orders, though 2025-2026 activity shows heavy direct award volume as well.

Activity has remained steady with modest growth: 184 awards in 2022 climbing to 214 in 2025, then declining to 43 through April 2026 (partial year). The vendor faces a recompete cliff of 176 awards with combined potential value of $9.7 million completing within the next twenty-four months, representing both recompete exposure and opportunity for contract renewal and expansion.

Capy Machine Shop subcontracts to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on A-10 aircraft structural integrity engineering services, cylinder assembly manufacturing, and fuselage repair kit work (April 2026, December 2025, and February 2025 sub-awards). The subcontracting footprint is minimal—less than one percent of total awards—and limited to a single major defense prime.

The vendor's federal footprint spans primarily purchase orders and delivery orders under its DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime IDVs, with firm fixed-price terms and delivery timelines typically ranging from 120 to 600 days. Award values cluster in the $5,000 to $100,000 range, with occasional larger procurements exceeding $300,000. The company's woman-owned small business designation is consistently cited across all funding agencies, positioning it favorably for ongoing set-aside opportunities within the defense logistics supply chain supporting aircraft readiness and maintenance operations across the Department of Defense.
