W And G Machine Company, Incorporated

W And G Machine Company, Incorporated, doing business as W & G Machine Co Inc., manufactures precision-engineered machined metal parts and components for defense applications as a prime contractor, operating from Hamden, Connecticut as a self-certified small disadvantaged business competing predominantly under small business set-asides and full-and-open vehicles across a concentrated Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Army portfolio.

The company is a partnership or limited liability partnership structure, self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and a small business joint venture with HUBZone self-certification. Headquarters are in Hamden, Connecticut, with additional manufacturing facilities in New Haven and Torrington. Primary NAICS coverage spans Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (868 awards), Aircraft Manufacturing (143 awards), and Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (96 awards), with PSC concentration in Airframe Structural Components (776 awards) and Helicopter Rotor Blades, Drive Mechanisms and Components (217 awards).

W & G Machine's capability portfolio centers on machined metal components and assemblies for military rotary-wing aircraft, particularly the UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopter program. Representative work includes a $756,621 delivery order from the Army Aviation and Missile Command (August 2025) for housing assembly and gearbox components supporting UH-60M sustainment; a $1,814,400 delivery order from Army Aviation and Missile Command (December 2023) for flutter dampener components (NSN 1650-01-285-3024) also supporting the Black Hawk program; and a $1,425,600 total small business set-aside delivery order from Army Aviation and Missile Command (February 2023) for UH-60M spare parts with ultimate completion in December 2025. The company also manufactures common defense components including seals, spacers, sleeves, landing gear brackets, access covers, cable assemblies, and structural supports delivered across DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime supply chains.

Customer concentration is severe and DLA-dominated. The top five funding agencies by award count coverage represent 83% of recent awards, led by DLA Aviation (1,056 awards, $66.9 million combined potential value), DLA Land and Maritime (260 awards, $8.8 million), and Defense Logistics Agency undifferentiated (228 awards, $5.7 million). However, the potential-value ranking diverges significantly: Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (145 awards, $103.8 million combined potential value) anchors the largest dollar share despite placing far fewer orders, reflecting the company's deep specialization in Black Hawk sustainment. DLA Aviation's large award count combined with modest per-order values indicates routine spare-parts procurement, while Army Aviation and Missile Command orders are substantially larger and program-focused.

W & G Machine holds single-award indefinite delivery contracts across DLA and Army channels. Key IDC vehicles include a $4.17 million single-award contract with Army Aviation and Missile Command (June 5, 2025 through June 5, 2030) for housing assembly and gearbox components supporting UH-60M Black Hawk platforms; a $1.7 million contract with Army Aviation and Missile Command (April 11, 2023 through April 10, 2028) for shaft assemblies (NSN 1615-01-158-5788) supporting the same program; a $418,572.54 DLA Aviation contract (September 6, 2023 through September 5, 2028) for spacer and sleeve components under total small business set-aside; and multiple $250,000 single-award DLA contracts for seals, access covers, and lens/light items across Land and Maritime, Aviation, and general DLA channels. Recent IDCs awarded include a $350,000 DLA Land and Maritime total small business set-aside (February 2, 2026) for electrostatic discharger units and a $250,000 DLA Land and Maritime total small business set-aside (April 14, 2025) for access covers.

Award activity has contracted sharply. The company received 83 awards in 2022, declining to 78 in 2023, 36 in 2024, 28 in 2025, and only 5 in 2026 (through June). Combined potential value across all 2,277 prime awards stands at $228.3 million with $162.6 million obligated (71%). Only four awards with combined potential value of $1.4 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure but a broader trajectory risk: the steep year-over-year decline from 2023 to 2024 onward suggests either reduced government demand for routine spare parts or loss of task-order share to competitors under W & G Machine's existing IDC vehicles.

W & G Machine performs all work internally at its Connecticut facilities without major subcontractors, demonstrating vertical integration in precision machining. The company competes under both total small business set-asides (recurrent for DLA Land and Maritime and some DLA Aviation work) and full-and-open competitive vehicles (characteristic of Army Aviation and Missile Command), with set-aside posture varying by ordering activity rather than representing a single dominant competitive channel.
