Machining Logistics, Inc.

Machining Logistics, Inc., doing business as Machining Logistics Inc., manufactures precision-engineered machined parts and structural components for military aircraft and weapon systems, operating as a prime contractor on 99% of its recent federal awards across multiple indefinite delivery contracts held with the Defense Logistics Agency. The company is a small business Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Riverside, California, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition without set-aside designation.

Machining Logistics delivers concrete aerospace components grounded in its award history: landing gear assemblies, hydraulic components, actuating cylinders, hinge pins, structural plates and fittings, fasteners, bearing sleeves, and specialized mechanical hardware for rotary-wing and fixed-wing platforms. Recent representative work includes a $537,421 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation in July 2025 for 169 units of hydraulic swivel joints (National Stock Number 1650005251135) with delivery through September 2027; a $331,600 total small business set-aside purchase order in March 2025 for 120 units of hydraulic swivel joints; a $74,800 purchase order in February 2024 for an oil compressor impeller; and a $65,618 purchase order in September 2024 for a relief valve for gearbox applications. The company's NAICS footprint centers on Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (code 336413), with secondary concentration in hardware, bearing, and power transmission equipment manufacturing.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 668 awards carrying $27.9 million in combined potential value—76% of all awards and 91% of the combined potential value across the entire portfolio. DLA Land and Maritime represents 139 awards worth $2.2 million, while smaller DLA Troop Support divisions (Hardware and Construction and Equipment) and the Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex represent the remaining volume. This concentration reflects the vendor's strategic positioning as a sole-source supplier of discrete machined components through multiple indefinite delivery contract vehicles with DLA Aviation.

Machining Logistics holds at least 24 active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime, ranging from $146,750 to $1,999,999 in ceiling value and extending through 2030. The five top parent vehicles—all DLA Aviation IDVs under the SPE4A series—account for 86 task orders and $518 thousand in combined potential value. The largest vehicle by ceiling is an $1,999,999.99 total small business set-aside IDV awarded May 9, 2025, and set to expire May 8, 2030, for procurement of oil compressor impellers and related machined aviation components. A $719,404.54 total small business set-aside IDV awarded August 16, 2023, and expiring August 15, 2028, covers screw thread inserts and has generated 29 delivery orders worth approximately $336,000 to date, demonstrating consistent utilization. Recent IDV awards include a $350,000 no-set-aside vehicle (February 2026) and a $349,999.99 total small business set-aside vehicle (March 2026), both extending through 2030-2031.

Activity has remained flat across the past four years—66 awards in 2022 to 86 in both 2024 and 2025—with 14 awards issued so far in 2026. The recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is modest: 24 awards worth $1.6 million in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion within that window. The vendor's subcontractor footprint is minimal—8 sub-awards (1% of total) under ES3 Prime Logistics Group Inc. for landing gear pistons, trunnion pins, retaining plates, drag braces, and machine thread plugs between February and March 2024—indicating the vendor operates predominantly as a prime on discrete delivery orders rather than as a multi-level supply chain participant.

Machining Logistics competes across both total small business set-aside and unrestricted delivery orders under its DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime IDVs. Approximately 40% of task orders across its largest IDV maintain small business set-aside designations, with the remainder open competition, reflecting mixed posture. The company's award count and dollar concentration suggest it has achieved preferred-vendor status within DLA Aviation's fragmented supply chain for high-frequency, low-dollar procurements of specialized machined parts—a strategic position supported by its manufacturing footprint, delivery speed from Riverside, and proven quality record on defense aerospace components.
