A Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business for High-Volume Machining
Focused on Machining is a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Primes and OEMs can partner with us to fulfill supplier diversity and subcontracting goals at a shop that offers the production capacity and precision your programs require.
Military Experience Shapes How We Operate
Our owner, Justin Quinn, served in the United States Air Force for six years as an aircraft mechanic and crew chief supporting C-17s. That environment demanded discipline that carries into our shop today.
Justin’s time working near jet engines ultimately led to cumulative hearing loss, which is the service-connected disability behind our SDVOSB status. When he became owner of Focused on Machining, he went through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to officially become a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business.
In recent years, that certification process has become more rigorous, requiring more records and supporting documentation. We’ve completed that review and can provide proof of certification when customers require it.
Helping You Meet Set-Aside Manufacturing Goals
Many government contracts require primes to meet subcontracting goals in categories like SDVOSB and woman-owned small businesses. As an SDVOSB, we help you satisfy goals in a simple way. By working with Focused on Machining, you can make substantial progress toward your targets.
A Small Business Built for Large Volumes
Don’t let the “small business” label mislead you. Primes can rely on Focused on Machining for high-volume production work and precision machining. Some primes think that sourcing sufficient volume for set-asides will require a large number of shops taking on small projects. At Focused on Machining, we have a proven history of multi-million dollar projects and multi-year orders.
We’ve built our operation to support repeat production and long-term programs. You can simplify your set-aside process by sending more volume to a single qualified SDVOSB supplier.
Precision Capabilities for Demanding Programs
Set-aside eligibility only matters if a shop can meet the high standards of aerospace and defense manufacturing. We offer precision machining and are fully capable of handling tight tolerances, complex geometry, and difficult materials like Inconel.
Our shop floor houses advanced equipment, including 5-axis capabilities. And our proven track record includes demanding programs for primes like ULA and Lockheed Martin.
Understanding Compliance Firsthand
One outcome of Justin’s military career is an understanding of the ins and outs of government work and systems. He has firsthand experience with the rules, regulations, and documentation processes that are central to federal requirements. He’s dealt with these systems for years, beginning in the military when they were part of his day-to-day operations in ordering parts for engines.
That familiarity extends into how we run our processes at Focused on Machining. Beyond SDVOSB, we’ve also navigated requirements like CMMC Level 2 compliance and AS9100D certification, so we’re prepared to support regulated programs with confidence.
An SDVOSB Ready for Your Toughest Projects
Primes are always impressed with our precision, but some may hesitate at first to send us projects for high-volume production machining services. They might think an SDVOSB partner may not have the capacity. But once we demonstrate our throughput and our responsiveness, those concerns disappear. Primes see they can have confidence in our shop.
