JWK Machinery Sales Co, Inc.

JWK Machinery Sales Co, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in San Gabriel, California, supplies metalworking machinery, industrial equipment, and specialized components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on 635 purchase orders spanning 2003 through 2026. The company is a Subchapter S corporation and for-profit manufacturer registered in SAM since October 2003, competing under Total Small Business set-asides on roughly 40 percent of recent awards and full-and-open on the remainder, with no material IDIQ or GWAC footprint.

JWK's customer base concentrates overwhelmingly with defense logistics and naval operations. The top five customers account for 74 percent of awards, dominated by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division (342 awards, $3.5 million combined potential value), followed by Naval Sea Systems Command (20 awards, $953 thousand), Army Materiel Command TACOM (11 awards, $809 thousand), DLA Aviation (46 awards, $624 thousand), and DLA Land and Maritime (54 awards, $496 thousand). The dollar ranking tracks the award count closely, confirming DLA's dominance across both volume and value. The company has worked with eighty distinct customer agencies, though these five account for 64 percent of combined potential value.

Capability framing derives from PSC code concentration and named award history. JWK manufactures and distributes bending and forming machines (144 awards), punching and shearing machines (104 awards), drilling and tapping machines (52 awards), woodworking machines (42 awards), and manual presses (39 awards), with supplemental offerings in band saws, lathes, vises, grinders, hydraulic equipment, and miscellaneous industrial components and assemblies. Representative prime work includes a $144,125 Total Small Business set-aside award from Army TACOM for one twin-post bandsaw (Jan 2023), a $175,200 Total Small Business purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for a vertical band saw to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (Mar 2022), a $189,940 Total Small Business award from Air Force Air Combat Command for four industrial vertical band saws (Jun 2023), a $72,615.70 Total Small Business set-aside from DLA Troop Support for hand arbor presses (Nov 2023), a $60,579 Total Small Business award from Naval Sea Systems Command for a power pipe bender supporting Navy shipbuilding (Sep 2023), and numerous smaller competitive and set-aside orders ranging from under $1 thousand to $50 thousand. All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders; the company holds no parent IDVs or seats on government-wide vehicles.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year, ranging from forty awards in 2022 to forty-four in 2023, forty-one in 2025, and ten awards recorded through May 2026. Combined potential value across the full 638-award footprint stands at $10 million, with combined dollars obligated at $11 million, indicating that invoiced volume has slightly exceeded ceiling values across the portfolio. The company faces no material recompete cliff because purchase orders are discrete, short-cycle procurement actions with completion dates typically within sixty to ninety days of award.

JWK subcontracts minimally. Three sub-awards appear in the source: tube-bending and F-16 support equipment supplied to BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration on Ukraine and Jordan F-16 support contracts (Jul 2024, Aug 2024, May 2026). The company operates as a pure prime vendor on the DLA and Navy logistics side, with subcontracting exposure concentrated on specialized F-16 platform support work under a single prime relationship.

Set-aside posture is mixed. Woman-owned small business set-aside and Total Small Business set-aside designations recur on approximately 40 percent of recent awards, reflecting the company's deliberate use of these categories alongside full-and-open competitive procurement. The company does not carry a published 8(a) designation and does not participate in HUBZone or SDVOSB programs based on the award sample provided. Its competitive position rests on woman-owned small business status, established supplier relationships with DLA Construction and Equipment and Naval Sea Systems Command, and demonstrated manufacturing capacity to deliver metalworking equipment within short lead times to military logistics depots and shipyards.
