Paramount Machine Company, Inc.

Paramount Machine Company, Inc., doing business as Paramount Machine Co Inc., is a small business precision machining manufacturer based in Manchester, Connecticut, that supplies precision-machined components and assemblies for military aerospace and defense applications as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards) and occasionally as a subcontractor to major defense primes. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation registered with the System for Award Management since 2001, competing across a mix of set-aside and full-and-open procurements, with total small business set-asides accounting for a meaningful portion of its prime footprint.

Paramount's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five funding agencies account for 83% of recent awards by count and 96% by potential value, anchored by DLA Aviation (180 awards, $16.5 million combined potential value), followed by the Air Force Sustainment Center (13 awards, $3.6 million), Air Force Materiel Command (10 awards, $1.1 million), DLA Land and Maritime (15 awards, $807 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (13 awards, $460 thousand). DLA Aviation's dominance reflects Paramount's core business: supplying inventory components for military aircraft maintenance. Recent representative prime work includes a $708.9 million purchase order from DLA Aviation for rod tie freight compressor components (August 2025); a $949 thousand definitive contract from the Air Force Sustainment Center for F100 shroud segments (July 2024); and a $542 thousand definitive contract from the Air Force Sustainment Center for compressor shroud components (December 2024).

Paramount holds six active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation totaling approximately $4.5 million in ceiling value across performance periods extending through 2030 and 2031. The largest IDV is a $2.5 million Total Small Business set-aside contract awarded November 2025 for precision-machined components (sleeve assemblies, seals, valves, brackets, bearing sleeves, heat shield segments); a $1.16 million Total Small Business set-aside for sleeve assembly components awarded October 2025; a $350 thousand single-award contract awarded January 2026 with no set-aside; and three additional $250 thousand single-award contracts (December 2024 and August 2023). Task orders under these vehicles have historically ranged from approximately $4,000 to $388,000. Paramount also operates under smaller IDV vehicles with DLA Land and Maritime and other agencies, with primary vehicles generating the bulk of task order activity.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years—17 awards in 2022 to 32 in 2025, with 18 awards year to date in 2026—indicating consistent engagement across DLA and Air Force customer bases. Thirty awards (combined potential value $3.4 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete. Paramount's capability portfolio, grounded in award history, centers on precision-machined aerospace and defense parts: aircraft engine seals (air, metallic, and ring seals), turbine engine spacers, retaining and mounting brackets, bearing sleeves, valve sleeves and body valves, fuel pressure covers, heat shield segments, connecting links, compressor shrouds, tie rods, nuts and washers, gearbox components, and related structural and mechanical assemblies for the F100 and TF-33 engines and broader military aviation systems. Category concentration reflects this specialization: the top NAICS codes are Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (84 awards) and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (80 awards), with Hardware Manufacturing and Aircraft Manufacturing rounding out a diverse but engine-centric portfolio.

In its subcontractor role, Paramount delivers precision-machined components to Raytheon (electrical racks, antenna assemblies, data interface units, circuit card assemblies, and contractor logistics support work) and Hamilton Sundstrand (turbine seal plates, helical compressor seats, valve housings, fluid valve stems, and clutch shoes), with recent sub-awards dating to January 2026 and typically involving specialized machining for defense electronics, engine components, and space systems work. The subcontract footprint, while secondary to prime work, indicates Paramount's capability to serve as a component supplier within larger defense supply chains.

Paramount competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements and DLA Aviation's set-aside vehicles, with Total Small Business set-asides accounting for a material fraction of recent awards. The company's registered status since 2001, consistent award activity, and multi-year IDV positions across DLA Aviation establish it as an embedded supplier within the defense logistics enterprise for military aircraft sustainment parts.

We specialize in manufacturing precision-machined parts and assemblies for the aerospace

industry. Our modern CNC capability provides turning capacity to 20" in diameter and milling to

26". We offer one-piece prototypes to high-volume flowline and family-type production lines. We are capable of machining a wide variety of materials, including castings, forgings, aerospace alloys and plastics and can convert previous castings and forgings to hog-outs.
