Machine Tools Usa, Inc.

Machine Tools USA Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Mathews, Virginia, is a specialized supplier of industrial machinery and manufacturing equipment operating as a prime contractor across federal defense, civilian, and research agencies. The company competes predominantly on full-and-open and total small business set-aside procurements, with no characteristic reliance on 8(a) or other federal set-aside vehicles despite its small business designation.

Machine Tools USA Inc. delivers concrete, high-value capital equipment: waterjet cutting systems (Flow International Mach series valued $200,000–$450,000+), CNC machining centers and turning centers, environmental and thermal testing chambers, specialized laboratory instrumentation (mixing systems, crystallizers, ultrasonic welders, centrifuges), and associated installation, training, and maintenance services. Representative prime work includes a $1.075 million additive manufacturing system to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (September 2024); a $1.913 million delivery of six waterjet cutting machines to the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (March 2023); a $1.47 million modular vacuum furnace to the Naval Air Warfare Center (September 2022); and a $1.147 million abrasive cutting equipment order from the Defense Logistics Agency (February 2024). Recent work spans waterjet systems, CNC machinery, environmental testing equipment, and precision laboratory systems across Navy, Army, Air Force, and civilian agency customers.

Customer concentration centers on the Navy, particularly the Naval Air Warfare Center. The top five customer agencies by combined potential value account for approximately 70% of the award portfolio. The Naval Air Warfare Center (Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center) dominates both volume and dollar value at 128 awards totaling $287 million in combined potential value. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation ranks second with 24 awards ($13.9 million combined), followed by the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (5 awards, $6.9 million), the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (11 awards, $3 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (23 awards, $2.5 million). This customer concentration reflects the vendor's established role as a critical equipment supplier to Navy research and development operations, particularly at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division facility in Ridgecrest, California.

Machine Tools USA Inc. holds three primary government-wide and agency-specific vehicles. The company maintains a $97.995 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (total small business set-aside) with the Naval Air Warfare Center awarded August 10, 2023, expiring August 9, 2028, for plant and laboratory equipment, machine tools, work-holding devices, and related services at the Weapons & Energetics Department in China Lake, California. Delivery orders under this IDIQ have included significant procurements such as a $1.040 million environmental and thermal testing equipment package (September 2025), a $714,308 five-head multistation testing system (August 2025), and a $378,872 VROM 1500 mixing system (December 2025). A second vehicle, a $49 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (total small business set-aside) with the Naval Air Warfare Center awarded November 29, 2021, expiring November 28, 2026, procures machining and manufacturing equipment and machine tools supporting earthquake recovery operations. The company also holds a $9 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Naval Air Warfare Center for industrial supplies and manufacturing equipment (January 2, 2026 through January 1, 2031). Beyond Navy vehicles, the company sits on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9323G, through which 187 task orders totaling $11 million in combined potential value have been issued across civilian and military customers, including NASA Shared Services Center and multiple Air Force and Army commands.

Activity has been volatile. Awards per year dropped from 36 in 2023 to 16 in 2024 before recovering to 26 in 2025; only 5 awards have been issued year-to-date in 2026 (through September). The $49 million Indefinite Delivery Contract supporting earthquake recovery operations at the Naval Air Warfare Center expires November 28, 2026—within the next fourteen months—and represents the primary recompete exposure. Five awards totaling $5.5 million in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete opportunity for competitors and execution risk for the vendor.

The vendor's award footprint spans 448 prime contracts and IDVs with a combined potential value of $448.2 million and $77.6 million in combined dollars obligated. Machine Tools USA Inc. registered in SAM.gov in February 2002 and has maintained continuous federal contracting relationships across the Navy, Army, Air Force, Defense Logistics Agency, NASA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Commerce. The company operates primarily through direct sales of capital equipment rather than through subcontractor relationships; only one sub-award appears in the recent award history, a $596 thousand Redstone Test and Engineering Support Services contract under Joint Technical Solutions, LLC (July 2024). This prime-dominant posture and specialization in high-value, single-unit or small-batch capital equipment deliveries distinguishes the vendor as a direct supplier-integrator rather than a systems integrator or service contractor.
