Essner Precision Manufacturing LLC

Essner Precision Manufacturing LLC, doing business as Precision Manufacturing Co Of Fort Worth, manufactures precision-engineered components for military aviation and maritime applications, competing as a prime contractor exclusively in full-and-open procurements with the Defense Logistics Agency. The Fort Worth, Texas-based for-profit manufacturer operates as a partnership or limited liability partnership and holds a small business designation that recurs across a subset of its awards, though the vast majority of its recent work carries no set-aside designation.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Defense Logistics Agency. DLA Aviation accounts for 530 awards valued at $8.8 million in combined potential value, representing approximately 86% of Essner's total award count and 54% of combined potential value across all awards. DLA Land and Maritime ranks second with 42 awards ($1.2 million), while DLA Troop Support Hardware places third with 27 awards ($5.5 million combined potential value). These three DLA divisions account for 599 of 619 total awards (99% coverage) and $15.5 million of $16.4 million combined potential value. The vendor also serves the Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (four awards, $298 thousand) and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (eleven awards, $92 thousand), but with minimal impact on overall concentration.

Essner's capability portfolio centers on screw jack assemblies, connecting link rigs, aircraft skin and structural components, counterbalance shields, and related airframe hardware. Recent representative work includes a $72.96 million purchase order from DLA Aviation for 191 units of spline components (National Stock Number 1680000997364) awarded February 4, 2025, a $45.17 million delivery order from DLA Aviation for screw jack assemblies awarded December 13, 2024, a $27.55 million Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Aviation for screw jack assemblies awarded March 13, 2023, and a $35.96 million delivery order from DLA Aviation for screw jack assemblies awarded May 13, 2023. The vendor holds five single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA, including a $249.99 million small business set-aside screw jack assembly IDV running through March 2028 and a $250 thousand no-set-aside connecting link rig IDV that completed in 2022. Recent activity has declined significantly — six awards in 2022, seven in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — though only three awards (combined potential value $37 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, minimizing near-term recompete exposure.

All 619 awards in the source data are prime awards; Essner does not subcontract on federal work. The vendor's product category is dominated by Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (435 awards), Aircraft Manufacturing (93 awards), and Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (27 awards) under primary NAICS 336413. The contracting vehicles Essner places the most task orders under are single-award indefinite delivery contracts held directly with DLA, with the top five vehicles carrying between six and twelve task orders each.
