CRI Machining Inc.

CRI Machining Inc. is a small business precision machining manufacturer headquartered in Blairsville, Georgia, that specializes in the production of high-quality mechanical components and hardware for the defense industry. Registered in SAM.gov since September 2013, the company operates as a for-profit manufacturer of goods and has established itself as a critical supplier within the Department of Defense's logistics and supply chain management ecosystem. CRI Machining focuses on manufacturing precision-machined mechanical components essential for military applications, including pins, bolts, bushings, spacers, washers, and other hardware used in aircraft systems, ground support equipment, and military vehicle maintenance and repair operations.

Through its extensive contract portfolio with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), CRI Machining has provided a diverse range of precision-machined mechanical components to support military aviation maintenance and readiness operations. The company has received numerous firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders from DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime for items including shoulder pins, torsion link pins, landing gear pistons, bolts (internally released, externally released, shoulder, and fluid passage variants), bushings and sleeves, emergency spacers, plain and slotted nuts, grooved headed pins, washers, rings, brackets, shafts, adapters, and various other National Stock Numbered mechanical components. A significant portion of CRI Machining's awards have been designated as Total Small Business set-asides, reflecting the company's qualification and preference for small business procurement opportunities, while many other awards have been issued without set-aside designations. The company has fulfilled purchase orders ranging from approximately $500 to over $850,000 in value, with contract completion dates extending through 2027 and beyond. Beyond DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, CRI Machining has also received awards from the Department of Defense Aviation branch for delivery orders related to internally released bolts and other aviation components. The consistent pattern of awards demonstrates CRI Machining's proven capability to manufacture high-quality components meeting strict military specifications and its reliability as a supplier within the federal defense industrial base.

CRI Machining Inc. currently holds four single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, each valued at approximately $250,000 and designated as Total Small Business set-asides. These long-term indefinite delivery vehicles establish framework agreements that enable DLA Aviation to issue periodic delivery orders for various precision-machined aviation hardware components as operational requirements dictate, providing the federal government with flexible and efficient procurement mechanisms. The IDCs cover the procurement of critical aviation hardware including shoulder pins (Federal Supply Class 4610105769), torsion link pins (Federal Supply Class 4610111258), shoulder bolts (Federal Supply Class 4610101603), and landing gear pistons (Federal Supply Class 4610101222), with completion dates extending through 2028 and 2029. These indefinite delivery contracts represent a strategic sourcing relationship that allows DLA Aviation to maintain a reliable supply of precision-manufactured components essential for military aircraft maintenance and readiness without requiring separate competitive procurement actions for each delivery order. The indefinite delivery contract structure has proven operationally effective, as evidenced by documented task orders issued under these vehicles, such as a $7,295.60 delivery order for shoulder pins awarded in August 2024 with completion scheduled for January 2025. Through these long-term IDC relationships with DLA Aviation, CRI Machining has positioned itself as a cornerstone supplier for defense aviation hardware, supporting the Department of Defense's broader mission to maintain military readiness and operational capability across the aviation fleet.
