About the company
CAV Manufacturing LLC, a Hispanic American-owned, SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business based in Salisbury, Maryland, manufactures precision-machined ordnance components, small arms ammunition parts, and specialized mechanical assemblies for defense and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively. The company operates as a machine shop delivering Class IX ordnance supplies, ammunition components, and precision-fabricated parts under both 8(a) sole-source and competitive set-aside vehicles, with recurring small business set-asides representing the dominant share of recent work. CAV Manufacturing holds SBA 8(a) certification through November 4, 2030, and classifies as a Limited Liability Company manufacturer of goods under NAICS codes 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), 332710 (Machine Shops), and related metal fabrication categories.
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates CAV Manufacturing's customer concentration at 50 awards generating $4.5 million in combined potential value (about 16% of the portfolio dollar total despite 65% of award count), reflecting a high-volume, low-average-order-value relationship anchored in ammunition and small arms components. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center provides the largest dollar concentration at $14.1 million across four awards, driven by a $14.04 million single-award indefinite delivery contract for advanced weapon products awarded July 14, 2023. NASA Glenn Research Center contributes $5 million across three awards, primarily through a $4.99 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for machining, fabrication, welding, and inspection services awarded August 22, 2022. The Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal and Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command together account for $2.9 million across six awards, including a $1.247 million January 2026 Competitive 8(a) definitive contract for Forward Assist Assembly components. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration holds nine smaller awards totaling $765 thousand, primarily for RF components, ventilation hoods, and radar center infrastructure items under 8(a) sole-source designations.
CAV Manufacturing's parent vehicle position centers on the Naval Air Warfare Center's $14.04 million single-award IDIQ for advanced weapon products (three delivery orders issued as of July 2025), the DLA Land and Maritime $680,400.36 sole-source 8(a) indefinite delivery contract for stop cartridge production (two delivery orders obligating $232,792.30 as of September 2024), and the NASA Glenn Research Center $4.99 million multiple-award BPA for machining and fabrication services (one active BPA call for $16,891.32 as of March 2026). A July 2026 Basic Ordering Agreement for Class IX supplies through Army Contracting Command Warren's BOAST program establishes a zero-ceiling framework vehicle for future ordnance and small arms component orders. The company also holds a $250,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime awarded September 9, 2025, under Total Small Business set-aside designation.
Recent award activity shows a decline trajectory: 15 awards in 2022, 17 in 2023, and 18 in 2024, dropping to 12 in 2025 and 7 in 2026. Eight awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months (by October 2028) carry combined potential value of $1.8 million and represent near-term recompete exposure. Representative concrete work includes a $1.247 million January 2026 definitive contract with Army TACOM for Forward Assist Assembly (small arms component) production under Competitive 8(a) set-aside; a $162,196.48 November 2023 purchase order with Army Contracting Command Warren for Recoil Guide, Cannon components (632 units, M198 Howitzer program) under Total Small Business set-aside; a $486,302.08 August 2025 definitive contract with NOAA for custom RF digital attenuators and RF generator base plates under firm fixed price; and a $191,105.12 July 2024 purchase order with Naval Sea Systems Command for Mechanical Piece Parts Kits under Total Small Business set-aside.
Award mix by set-aside designation reflects CAV Manufacturing's 8(a) posture: across the 77 prime awards in the source data, 44 awards carry 8(a) sole-source designations (primarily with DLA and NOAA), 15 awards carry Competitive 8(a) set-asides (DLA, Army, Air Force), and 18 awards carry no set-aside designation (Naval Air Warfare Center IDIQ, NASA BPA, other full-and-open competition). The company maintains no subcontract footprint and operates exclusively as a prime. Place of performance is Salisbury, Maryland, where all manufacturing and fabrication work occurs.
