CRD Machining, Inc.

CRD Machining, Inc., a minority-owned and woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Los Angeles, California, supplies precision-engineered machined components—bushings, sleeves, bearing components, pins, fasteners, nuts, washers, spacers, standoffs, spindles, and shafts—to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across more than 720 purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The company operates entirely in-house with no subcontractor relationships and competes in both set-aside (Total Small Business) and full-and-open environments, with set-aside designations appearing across its three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts and on roughly 20 percent of individual purchase orders.

CRD Machining's customer concentration is singular: the Defense Logistics Agency dominates 100 percent of awards across three divisions. The DLA Aviation division anchors the portfolio at 637 awards valued at $4.3 million in combined potential value, followed by the DLA Land and Maritime division (45 awards, $964 thousand) and the DLA Troop Support Hardware division (40 awards, $562 thousand). Recent individual purchase orders and delivery orders range from several hundred dollars to over $62,000, with the majority falling between $1,000 and $15,000. The company holds three active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts—one with DLA Land and Maritime (ceiling $350,000, through March 11, 2027), one with DLA Aviation for flat washers and related hardware (ceiling $250,000, through August 18, 2030), and one with DLA Aviation for machine-threaded bushings (ceiling $250,000, through May 1, 2030)—plus a fourth IDC with DLA Aviation awarded November 21, 2025 (ceiling $350,000, through November 20, 2030). Task order activity against these vehicles is modest; the top five named parent IDCs collectively account for 17 task orders, suggesting most work flows through individual purchase orders rather than standing vehicles.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year (2024: 154 awards; 2025: 157 awards) with nine awards recorded in 2026 as of the current snapshot. Combined potential value across all 722 awards is $5.8 million, with $2.1 million (36 percent) obligated to date. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is light: 14 awards with combined potential value of $103 thousand face ultimate completion inside that window. The work consists almost entirely of component-level manufacturing—bearings and bearing-related components dominate at 303 awards (42 percent of activity by count), followed by hardware manufacturing and fastener categories—driven by DLA Aviation's ongoing demand for military aircraft maintenance and broader defense logistics sustainment. CRD Machining registered in System for Award Management in August 2019 and has performed all work at its Los Angeles facility (366 West 131st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90061) since entering the federal contracting base in 2020.
