Stark Precision Machine, LLC

Stark Precision Machine, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) based in Terre Haute, Indiana, operates as a precision machining and specialized component manufacturer delivering fabricated parts and machine shop services exclusively to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor under a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command running through September 2027.

Stark Precision Machine's capability portfolio centers on precision machining and fabrication of undersea and strategic weapons system components for naval applications. Representative work includes the manufacture of hydrophone housings and baffle rings for Navy acoustic sensor systems (multiple awards totaling roughly $365 thousand across 2023–2025), precision-machined end cap assemblies for Ohio-class and Columbia-class submarine programs ($36 thousand and $15.4 thousand awards in 2025), a jacking foot kit for the Advanced Poseidon Missile system ($250 thousand, 2025), cable assemblies for Navy undersea acoustic sensors ($22 thousand, 2024), and laser welding technique services ($15.8 thousand, 2025). The company also supplied materials for NASA's Electric Aircraft Testbed project through the NASA Shared Services Center ($22 thousand, 2024). Work is performed at the company's Terre Haute facility.

Customer concentration is extreme and represents recompete risk. The Department of the Navy accounts for 21 of 22 awards (100% of combined potential value): Naval Sea Systems Command holds 7 awards valued at $50.3 million (principally the $50 million master BPA), while Naval Strategic Systems Programs holds 12 task orders valued at roughly $496 thousand. A single non-Navy award to NASA Shared Services Center adds $22 thousand. Within the Navy customer set, the $50 million NAVSEA BPA (awarded October 2022, running through September 2027) anchors the portfolio; 10 task orders have been issued against it to date under BPA N0016422A0030, valued at $425 thousand combined. The remaining 12 awards are smaller purchase orders and BPA calls ranging from $3.9 thousand to $250 thousand, issued by Naval Strategic Systems Programs and Naval Supply Systems Command subordinate offices.

Activity has accelerated recently. Stark Precision Machine received one award in 2022 (the master BPA), five each in 2023 and 2024, and ten in 2025, with one award in 2026 to date. Nearly all awards carry either no set-aside designation or total small business set-aside framing, reflecting competitive positioning against full-and-open and small-business-set-aside solicitations rather than sole-source 8(a) or SDVOSB carve-outs. Only one award enters recompete within the next twenty-four months ($14 thousand potential value).

Stark Precision Machine's SDVOSB and VOSB certifications are current through February 3, 2028. The company operates as a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation and competes predominantly in NAICS 332710 (Machine Shops) and NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), with PSC codes concentrated in underwater sound equipment and related bushings, spacers, and fasteners. The vendor has no federal subcontracting footprint and no parent contract vehicles other than the NAVSEA BPA.

Precision CNC and conventional turning and 5-axis milling of multiple different material types including high temperature aerospace materials.
