Machine Tools Usa, Inc.

Machine Tools USA Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Mathews, Virginia, supplies specialized industrial equipment—machine tools, waterjet cutting systems, environmental testing chambers, CNC machinery, and manufacturing equipment—to the federal government as a prime contractor on 445 awards totaling $358 million in potential value. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, though it holds woman-owned small business set-aside positions on select awards.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded: the Naval Air Warfare Center accounts for 128 awards and $198 million combined potential value—nearly 55% of the total portfolio—with the second-largest customer (Defense Logistics Agency Aviation) representing only 24 awards and $13.9 million. This concentration reflects the Navy's reliance on Machine Tools USA as a dedicated supplier of plant and laboratory equipment, machinery, and work-holding devices to the Weapons & Energetics Department at Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division in Ridgecrest, California, and subordinate fleet readiness centers. The top five customers by potential value represent 63% of the combined pipeline, all within the Navy or Army; civilian-agency exposure is minimal.

Machine Tools USA holds four significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts anchoring its prime footprint. The largest is the $49 million total small business set-aside IDC with Naval Air Warfare Center awarded August 10, 2023 (expiring August 9, 2028) for plant and laboratory equipment, supplies, and incidental services to the Weapons & Energetics Department, with 18 delivery orders totaling approximately $1.24 million issued through 2025. A parallel $49 million multiple-award IDC from Naval Air Warfare Center (awarded November 29, 2021, expiring November 28, 2026) procures machining and manufacturing equipment supporting the Earthquake Recovery Integrated Product Team, with major delivery orders including a $1.04 million environmental and thermal testing equipment package, a $714,308 five-head multistation testing system, and a $338,131 flow waterjet system. A $40 million multiple-award IDIQ from Naval Air Systems Command (awarded August 13, 2021, expiring August 12, 2026) covers machine tools, work-holding devices, and peripheral equipment with associated installation, training, and maintenance; the Naval Air Warfare Center issued 18 delivery orders worth over $3.5 million from 2022 through 2023. Most recently, Machine Tools USA received a $9 million single-award BPA from Naval Air Warfare Center (January 2, 2026 through January 1, 2031) for industrial supplies and manufacturing equipment. Additionally, the vendor holds 187 task orders on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9323G) valued at $11 million combined, placing the company as an established reseller of equipment to civilian and defense agencies through that vehicle.

Recent representative work illustrates the vendor's concrete capability footprint: a $3.047 million Army TACOM firm fixed-price purchase order (January 16, 2026) for vertical milling machines; a $1.913 million Army purchase order (March 9, 2023) for six waterjet cutting machines; a $1.075 million National Institute of Standards and Technology definitive contract (September 23, 2024) for a multi-laser metals-based powder bed fusion additive manufacturing system; a $1.47 million Naval Air Warfare Center modular vacuum furnace (September 2, 2022); a $1.147 million Defense Logistics Agency purchase order (February 1, 2024) for abrasive cutting equipment; and a $1.07 million Defense Logistics Agency Aviation purchase order (January 8, 2025) for an intensifier pump with high-pressure waterjet and abrasive waterjet cutting applications. Smaller, high-frequency delivery orders under the Naval Air Warfare Center IDCs span environmental test chambers, CNC machines, waterjet systems, cooling equipment, precision metalworking tools, calibration services, and facility equipment ranging from $596 to $1.04 million per order.

Activity has grown unevenly: 19 awards in 2022, a spike to 36 in 2023, a drop to 16 in 2024, recovery to 26 in 2025, and 3 awards through March 2026. Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $5.2 million and face recompete exposure. The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime (445 of 446 awards); a single $596,000 subcontract under Joint Technical Solutions LLC for Redstone test and engineering support services represents minimal sub engagement.

Navy dominance, Woman-Owned Small Business certification, and established positions on high-value IDVs position Machine Tools USA as a specialized industrial-equipment supplier to naval aviation research, development, and testing operations. Civilian-agency work through NIST and Army research commands is secondary. The company's footprint reflects a mature, stable relationship with Naval Air Warfare Center and related Navy commands rather than growth through competitive pipeline expansion into new customer sectors.
