EM2 Machining, LLC

EM2 Machining, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and sole proprietorship based in Greensboro, North Carolina, manufactures precision machined components—bearings, bushings, sleeves, control handles, and assemblies—for Defense Logistics Agency supply chain programs as a prime contractor operating entirely in the full-and-open market with recurring total small business set-aside designations.

EM2 operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, serving two customer agencies: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime. The two rankings are coterminous—DLA Aviation accounts for 8 awards worth $650 thousand combined potential value, while DLA Land and Maritime holds 5 awards worth $204 thousand. Combined, the 13 awards total $854 thousand in potential value, with $284 thousand obligated to date (33% of ceiling). The vendor's work concentrates in ball and roller bearing manufacturing (6 awards), hardware manufacturing (2 awards), and aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing (2 awards), reflecting PSC-level specialization in bearings, plain unmounted (6 awards) and bushings, rings, shims, and spacers (2 awards).

Representative work includes a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded December 30, 2025, by DLA Aviation for tapered bushings (NSN 5365-00-310-5808) under total small business set-aside, with a $570.3 thousand ceiling running through December 29, 2030, and an estimated annual requirement of 460 units with first article approval requirements totaling 471 days. EM2 also holds a $94.4 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (awarded October 29, 2025) for directional slide components, due July 6, 2026, and a $52.5 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (awarded March 3, 2026) for 250 manual control handles (NSN 5340010737685) delivered to DLA Distribution Anniston by November 9, 2026.

Award activity accelerated from 8 awards in 2025 to 5 awards year-to-date in 2026; ten awards worth $176 thousand combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing EM2 to recompete risk. The vendor carries no parent vehicle positions, parent contracts, or IDIQs—all work flows directly through DLA purchase orders and the new IDC. All identified awards carry firm fixed-price terms. Performance takes place entirely at the contractor's Greensboro facility.
