Modern Machine And Tool Company Incorporated

Modern Machine And Tool Company Incorporated, a small business manufacturer based in Newport News, Virginia, delivers precision machining, fabrication, instrumentation calibration, and force measurement support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing almost entirely under total small business set-asides.

The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation and for-profit manufacturer specializing in precision machined components, assemblies, and specialized fabrication for aerospace and defense applications. Modern Machine's work spans NAICS categories centered on miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing (35 awards) and measuring and controlling device manufacturing (26 awards), with PSC codes reflecting maintenance, repair, and rebuild services for metal components and aircraft systems alongside commercial hardware fabrication. The company holds a Newport News location as its place of performance across substantially all federal work.

Customer concentration is extreme and decision-defining: NASA Langley Research Center dominates both award count and dollar value. Of 149 total awards in the source, Langley accounts for 44 awards valued at $63.1 million combined potential value — representing 59% of the company's entire $106.9 million portfolio. The top five customers by award count (Langley, broader NASA, Navy, Coast Guard, and Naval Sea Systems Command) account for 75% of awards, but by potential-value ranking Langley's $63.1 million dwarfs the next-highest customer (Army Materiel Command at $459 thousand). Modern Machine operates under two primary NASA Langley indefinite-delivery vehicles: a $7 million IDIQ for force and strain measurement capabilities (awarded November 1, 2023, running through October 31, 2028) and a $1 million BPA for general and precision machining/fabrication services (awarded August 16, 2021, running through August 15, 2026). The Langley BPA has generated 28 task orders worth $188 thousand combined potential value. Representative work under these vehicles includes a $50,000 force measurement support service minimum-guarantee delivery order (November 2023), a $13,074 BPA call for key slot and pitch/yaw drive modification (March 2022), and $8,686 for machining main tube components (July 2024). Outside NASA Langley, Modern Machine holds positions on Navy and Coast Guard indefinite-delivery vehicles and has executed transactional small-dollar awards from Coast Guard ($8,910 firm fixed-price purchase order for MH-60T helicopter scale calibration, January 2026) and Army.

Activity has contracted significantly in recent years — the vendor executed only seven awards across the five-year window 2022–2026, with one award in each of 2024, 2025, and 2026. The source reflects 149 total awards dating to 1981, indicating long operational history with substantial backlog completion; combined dollars obligated stand at $57.5 million (54% of combined potential value), suggesting active delivery on legacy commitments. Two subcontract awards ground the vendor's secondary role: materials work as a sub to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory on the Dragonfly Extended Phase B mission under NASA's ARDES II contract (May 2025) and structures engineering support to University of Dayton on a systems modeling engagement (August 2022).
