Rotating Precision Mechanisms, Inc.

Rotating Precision Mechanisms, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Northridge, California, manufactures electro-mechanical components, precision mechanical assemblies, radar pedestals, antenna systems, and specialized motor and gear assemblies for federal agencies as a prime contractor (86% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to defense primes. RPM competes in full-and-open federal procurements without set-aside designation and has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2002.

RPM's customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of the Navy. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 54% of recent awards, led by Naval Sea Systems Command (42 awards, $2.4 million combined potential value) and Naval Supply Systems Command (39 awards, $2.6 million), followed by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration's Aeronautical Center and Headquarters, and the Naval Air Warfare Center. By potential value, Naval Supply Systems Command and Naval Sea Systems Command anchor the portfolio at $2.6 million and $2.4 million respectively, with FAA Headquarters contributing $1.5 million. Recent prime capability work includes a $597,440 firm fixed-price purchase order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for a G550 pedestal awarded September 2023 and scheduled for completion March 2027, a $203,880 purchase order from FAA for pedestal services awarded September 2021, and a $20,000 purchase order from the Naval Air Warfare Center for electro-mechanical components awarded November 2024. The portfolio also reflects two purchase orders in early 2026 from an undisclosed civilian agency for National Airspace System assets totaling approximately $28,000.

The work portfolio spans five primary NAICS categories anchored by search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical and nautical system and instrument manufacturing (69 awards), radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing (36 awards), and other measuring and controlling device manufacturing (30 awards). Top PSC codes reflect pedestal and antenna systems (35 awards), radar equipment except airborne (31 awards), electrical and electronic assemblies (31 awards), and aircraft maintenance and repair shop specialized equipment (24 awards). RPM places task orders under Air Force IDIQs FA204624DB001 and FA862021G4009 (6 task orders each) and Air Force Basic Ordering Agreement FA862021G4009, with additional vehicle presence under FA252120D0005 and Navy IDIQ N0016405D8734.

Award activity has grown since 2021, with four awards in 2021, three in 2023, eighteen in 2024, and sixteen in 2025; only one award has been recorded thus far in 2026. The recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — two awards with combined potential value of $614,000 face completion within that window. In its subcontractor role, RPM supplies pedestal assemblies, radar panels, brake assemblies, ring and resolver assemblies, and machined parts to L3 Technologies and L3Harris Technologies (multiple Senior Leader Network and Single ULV Terminal awards), BAE Systems (Instrumentation Range Support Program III milestone-based pedestal work), Sierra Nevada Company (Big Safari aircraft parts and pedestals), Leidos (Tactical Training Ranges Lifecycle Management and MJOLNIR radar integration), Northrop Grumman (Foreign Military Sales support and Joint Threat Emitter work), General Atomics (MQ-9B production for Taiwan FMS), and several others. Dollar magnitudes for individual subcontract awards are not published in the source, but the combined obligated dollars across all awards ($47.6 million) substantially exceed the combined potential value ($12.4 million), indicating heavy execution and invoicing against the installed base.
