Stanley Machining & Tool Corp

Stanley Machining & Tool Corp, a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Carpentersville, Illinois, serves as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense, delivering precision-machined components and mechanical subassemblies for military vehicle systems and weapons platforms, while operating as a subcontractor to major defense primes on Army tank modernization and missile systems work. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements on Army indefinite delivery contracts, though recent awards across its prime footprint carry small-business and total-small-business set-aside designations.

Stanley Machining's federal work centers on vehicular components for the Abrams tank modernization program and related Army equipment. Representative prime awards include a $1.27 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from Army Contracting Command (ACC) Warren for 514 tension device track units under IDC W912CH24D0013 (completion February 12, 2026), a $1,032,448 definitive contract for 37 lifting mechanisms (total small business set-aside, completion January 9, 2026), a $578,613 delivery order for 158 units in the fifth ordering year of the Abrams Tank Modernization M1A2SEPv3 program (completion August 16, 2026), and a $99,900 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for RF and depth canister titanium metalwork (total small business set-aside, completion February 18, 2026). The company holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with ACC Warren: a $2.538 million single-award requirements contract for vehicular brake, steering, axle, wheel, and track components (total small business set-aside, completion August 6, 2026), and a $472,000 IDC for shaft assemblies (total small business set-aside, completion March 31, 2025).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Army programs. The top five customer entities account for 68% of awards by count. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal leads by potential value with 57 awards worth $34 million, followed by the Department of the Army with 255 awards valued at $12.5 million, and the Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command with 18 awards worth $10 million. The Defense Logistics Agency and Department of the Navy round out secondary demand. Together, these five entities represent 94% of combined potential value across Stanley Machining's 584-award footprint.

The company's primary parent vehicles are Army indefinite delivery contracts driving task orders. IDC W56HZV21D0001 supports 13 task orders; IDC DAAE0702DM004 carries 9 task orders worth $300 thousand; IDC DAAE0701DN005 sustains 7 task orders; IDC DAAE0703DN028 funds 6 task orders valued at $1.4 million; and IDC DAAE2003D0133 supports 6 task orders worth $397 thousand. These vehicles reflect Stanley Machining's strategic position in Army-wide components procurement.

Activity shows modest recent volume: 22 awards in 2024, 15 in 2025, and 4 through March 2026. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months is minimal — only one award (combined potential value $579 thousand) reaches ultimate completion, indicating Stanley Machining's pipeline is weighted toward 2026 and beyond. Combined potential value across all awards totals $63.6 million; combined dollars obligated have reached $134.2 million (211% of stated potential value), indicating significant overbilling relative to listed ceilings, likely reflecting completed delivery orders and exercised options exceeding initial contract values.

Stanley Machining subcontracts primarily to Raytheon Company and General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. on defense programs. Raytheon relationships include precision-machined components for the MK 25 C-band guided missile launcher system, missile spares, encanistered missiles, fire control suites, the Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System launcher, the MK 144 Mod 3 guided missile launcher, tactical cruise missile production (RGM-109E-4AJ), and Silent Knight radar systems (awards spanning February 2021 to March 2026). General Dynamics work centers on Abrams tank family production and upgrades, including production units for Poland, SEPv3 variants, and modifications to incorporate supplemental ammunition support list CLINs (awards from May 2023 to February 2026). Lockheed Martin engagements involve precision-machined components for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) and low-cost reduced-range practice rocket production, including Ukraine support lots (awards from January 2024 to May 2024). DRS Network & Imaging Systems, Science Applications International Corporation, and Atlantic Diving Supply round out the subcontractor prime base. Work category concentration reflects this mission: vehicular brake, steering, axle, wheel, and track components dominate at 176 awards, followed by vehicular power transmission components at 121 awards, and guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing at 16 awards. The company has maintained a SAM.gov registration since 2002.
