Republic Machinery Co Inc.

Republic Machinery Co Inc., doing business as Republic Lagun Machine Tool Co, supplies metalworking machinery and equipment — primarily milling machines and lathes — to the federal government as a prime contractor (98% of awards). The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business, woman-owned, and Hispanic American-owned, headquartered in Harbor City, California. Republic Machinery competes under Total Small Business set-asides on the majority of its federal work, with recent awards predominantly unset-aside or sole-source commercial procurements on smaller dollar values.

Republic Machinery's customer base spans 35 distinct agencies with heavy concentration in the Department of the Navy (24 awards across its total portfolio) and the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five customers by award count — Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (13 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (10 awards, $678 thousand), Department of the Army (9 awards), Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (5 awards, $710 thousand across the Naval Air Warfare Center component), and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (9 awards, $16 thousand) — account for 45% of recent awards. The potential-value ranking tracks similarly, with Navy and Army components anchoring most dollars. Representative recent prime work includes a $901,886 firm-fixed-price purchase order from Army Contracting Command–Redstone (September 2024) for one CNC vertical knee mill and one 18-inch machine lathe delivered to Test Area 10 at Redstone Arsenal; a $37,408.90 Total Small Business purchase order from Air Education and Training Command (August 2024) for an MXG tool room lathe; and a $16,908 engineering services purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard (June 2026) for repair and control upgrade of a Lagun CM-4 Series milling machine at Curtis Bay, Baltimore, Maryland, with personnel required to hold TWIC or RAPIDGate authorization.

Republic Machinery operates primarily under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (9 task orders, $909 thousand combined potential value) and several single-award IDICs with the Army. Activity has declined sharply — four awards in 2022 declining to one in 2025 and one in 2026 — though combined dollars obligated ($14.4 million) exceed combined potential value ($10.8 million), indicating higher-dollar saturation in completed work. The vendor maintains a minimal subcontract footprint: two sub-awards under Leidos (critical minerals research and advanced munitions studies, September 2024–2025) and one sub-grant award under University of Dayton (June 2022). Primary capability framing centers on machine tool manufacturing under NAICS 333511 and allied metalworking-equipment supply, with order activity dominated by milling machines (45 awards) and lathes (43 awards) across the award history, plus belting and accessory supply (20 awards combined).
