CTN Machining LLC

CTN Machining is a minority-owned, non-profit small business based in San Jose, California, that has been registered to receive federal awards since June 2009. The company specializes in the manufacture and supply of precision-engineered machined components and hardware for the United States Department of Defense, with a particular focus on serving the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) across both its Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions. CTN Machining is classified as an Asian-Pacific American-owned business and operates as a sole proprietorship, delivering critical industrial parts that support military equipment maintenance and operational readiness across diverse defense platforms.

Over an extensive contracting history, CTN Machining has received numerous purchase orders and delivery orders from the Defense Logistics Agency for a comprehensive range of machined components and fasteners. The company has supplied items including bushings, sleeves, spacers, washers (flat, recessed, concave, shouldered, and convex), adapters, couplings, reducers, plugs, retainers, nuts, pins, caps, flanges, valve seats, and specialized components such as jettison shrouds, insulator bushings, and piston valve systems. All of these contract awards have been funded exclusively by the Defense Logistics Agency, with purchases split between the Aviation division and the Land and Maritime division. CTN Machining has consistently won these contracts through open-market competition with no set-aside designations, demonstrating its competitive capability against other industrial suppliers. The contract values have ranged from as low as fifty dollars for micro-purchases to over seven thousand dollars for larger orders, with the company serving as the prime contractor on every award. Performance has consistently been executed at CTN Machining's facility in San Jose, California, and the company has not engaged subcontractors on these awards.

CTN Machining currently holds four single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency, each valued at $250,000. These IDCs were awarded without set-aside designations and enable the DLA to place delivery orders for machined components on an as-needed basis over their respective performance periods. The first IDC, awarded to the DLA Aviation division on January 12, 2023, covers spacer and sleeve products with an ultimate completion date of January 12, 2024. The second IDC, also awarded to DLA Aviation on January 27, 2023, provides a variety of machined components including spacers, sleeves, bushings, nuts, washers, pins, couplings, screws, valves, and adapters, with performance through January 27, 2024. The third IDC was awarded to DLA Aviation on April 19, 2023, and covers jettison shrouds and related specialized components through April 18, 2024. The fourth and most recent IDC was awarded to the DLA Land and Maritime division on June 29, 2023, providing spring bushings and other machined components through June 28, 2024. These IDCs serve as strategic vehicles enabling the DLA to maintain efficient inventory replenishment of commonly-stocked machined parts from CTN Machining as a vetted, reliable industrial source supporting the maintenance and operational readiness of U.S. military aircraft, ground vehicles, and defense equipment systems worldwide.
