Coastal Mechanics Tool & Machine Inc.

Coastal Mechanics Tool & Machine Inc., doing business as Major Metals Machining, manufactures precision metal components and fasteners for the Defense Logistics Agency as a small-business prime contractor, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides. The Houston-based for-profit manufacturer holds ISO 9001:2015 and AS 9100D certifications and operates with no subcontractors across a federal award footprint dominated by DLA purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on machined metal components—shafts (shouldered and straight), bushings, sleeves, spacers, adapters, collars, and fastening hardware (socket head cap screws, setscrews, rivets)—supplied to support military aviation, maritime, and ground vehicle platforms. Representative work includes a $250,000 one-year Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded by DLA Aviation in April 2024 for bushing and sleeve components (NSN 5365017063840) designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with an anticipated two orders per year and guaranteed minimum of 31 units; a $90,856.37 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in October 2024 for 293 units of shouldered shafts; and a $126,730.73 purchase order from DLA Aviation in July 2023 for over 850,000 socket head cap screws. The vendor also holds a newer IDC awarded June 2025 by DLA Land and Maritime for the same bushing and sleeve components, ceiling $250,000, running through June 2026.

Customer concentration is split nearly evenly between two DLA divisions. DLA Aviation places 46 awards (combined potential value $337 thousand), while DLA Land and Maritime places 48 awards (combined potential value $327 thousand), covering 100% of the vendor's recent awards. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment represents one award worth $43 within the last five years.

The vendor holds one active Indefinite Delivery Contract parent vehicle: SPE4A724D60CE, with one task order placed ($596 combined potential value). Purchase orders dominate the transactional pattern—individual orders typically range from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars, with most falling under $10,000.

Activity has grown significantly from six awards in 2022 to forty awards in 2024, followed by a 60% decline to sixteen awards in 2025 and seven awards through mid-2026. Two awards with combined potential value of $12 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited recompete exposure. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime on firm fixed-price purchase orders and small-business set-aside IDCs; no subcontract work appears in the source data. The award portfolio concentrates on mechanical power transmission components (22 awards) and ball and roller bearing manufacturing (17 awards) by NAICS category, with miscellaneous power transmission equipment (21 awards) and bearings, unmounted (17 awards), dominating PSC classification.
