Magnum Machine Shop

Magnum Machine Shop, a small business manufacturer based in San Jose, California, supplies precision-engineered industrial components and mechanical parts to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, operating exclusively in the federal defense supply market with no subcontracting footprint. The company is a sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov since 2002, competing across both small business set-aside and full-and-open purchase orders and delivery orders, with recent awards split between Total Small Business set-asides and unrestricted procurements.

Magnum's customer concentration is monolithic within DLA. The top five DLA subordinate agencies account for 99% of the 457 total awards tracked in the source data, with DLA Aviation anchoring the portfolio at 338 awards ($2.7 million combined potential value) and DLA Land and Maritime supplying 61 awards ($1.8 million). The remaining volume spreads across DLA Troop Support Hardware, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and the parent DLA organization. This deep specialization in aviation and logistics parts reflects the vendor's core capability footprint: the top NAICS categories by award count are Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (77 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (76 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (68 awards). Top PSC codes cluster around Bearings, Plain, Unmounted (65 awards), Bushings, Rings, Shims, and Spacers (43 awards), and Airframe Structural Components (28 awards).

Recent work includes a $22,875 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for nonmetallic tubing awarded November 18, 2025, a $21,119 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation for pliers and hose clamps awarded January 10, 2024, and a $40,848 purchase order from DLA Aviation for piston-pin assemblies awarded October 21, 2022. The vendor holds five single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA subdivisions, each valued at $250,000, covering metallic tubes, nonmetallic tubing, thermal insulation, wear plates, and specialized components. Task orders against these IDCs include a $4,118 delivery order placed December 4, 2024 for pliers and hose clamps against a DLA Aviation IDC.

Activity has declined sharply year over year — 35 awards in 2021 declining to 2 awards in 2025 — suggesting either a recompete cliff or a shift in DLA procurement patterns away from this vendor. Combined potential value across all tracked awards is $4.7 million, with $3.2 million obligated (68% of potential). The vendor competes entirely as a prime with no recorded subcontracting relationships and relies on direct purchase orders and delivery orders against small-business-set-aside and unrestricted DLA solicitations rather than participation in government-wide vehicles or multiple-award contracts.
