High-Tech Machine Co Inc.

High-Tech Machine Co Inc., a small business manufacturer headquartered in Stanton, Delaware, supplies fabricated metal components and hardware to federal agencies as a prime contractor (88% of recent awards), with subcontract exposure to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. The company specializes in protective plugs, fasteners, structural metal fabrication, and machined components for space flight hardware and defense systems, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurement without set-aside designations. High-Tech Machine is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that has maintained federal contracting capability since February 2000.

Customer concentration centers on space and maritime procurement. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center anchors the portfolio with five awards totaling $78 thousand in combined potential value, supported by active blanket purchase agreements for fabrication services. The Defense Logistics Agency (Troop Support Hardware and Land and Maritime divisions) accounts for seven awards across both rankings, while the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command and Naval Sea Systems Command round out the top five customers, collectively representing 94% of awards. The Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command places the second-largest single potential value at $21 thousand. Work flows through a NASA Goddard FAB BPA (two task orders, $76 thousand combined potential value), a general Goddard blanket purchase agreement, and a Navy indefinite delivery contract.

Representative prime work includes a $4,733 November 2025 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Defense's Land and Maritime division for protective dust plugs, performed at the Stanton facility with completion in September 2026. High-Tech Machine subcontracts to Northrop Grumman on fabricated structural metal manufacturing (DODIC WW98), with two sub-awards in 2026. Activity has been episodic — one award per year from 2019 through 2021, then a single 2025 award followed by two in 2026 — with combined potential value of $109 thousand against $299 thousand in combined dollars obligated, indicating significant prior task order drawdown. Only one award faces completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure.
