CEN TEX DEFENSE INDUSTRIES LLC

CEN TEX DEFENSE INDUSTRIES LLC specializes in the precision manufacturing of critical metal components for defense applications, with deep expertise in fasteners, bearings, and stamped hardware. The company produces high-tolerance threaded fasteners including bolts, nuts, studs, and lock washers; precision bushings, thrust washers, and sleeve bearings; and retention rings, spacers, and other stamped metal components used in military and aerospace systems. Their technical capabilities encompass cold heading, thread rolling, heat treating, surface finishing, and first article inspection processes, ensuring compliance with stringent military specifications for material integrity and dimensional accuracy. A key differentiator is their ability to deliver small-batch, high-reliability parts for mission-critical assemblies, often under tight lead times, with a focus on repeatable quality control and documentation rigor. The contractor’s entire contract history is with the Department of Defense, indicating a dedicated focus on supporting defense logistics, aircraft systems, ground vehicle assemblies, and ordnance applications. Work includes supplying replacement and repair components for legacy and modern platforms, often requiring reverse engineering or specification-matched replication of obsolete parts. Their consistent delivery of bearing and hardware components suggests strong integration into defense supply chains for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations. Industry focus centers on metal stamping, bearing manufacturing, and fastener production—NAICS codes 332119, 332991, and 332722—reflecting specialization in small, high-strength metallic components essential for mechanical systems. The company serves niche defense subsectors requiring precision metal parts that meet MIL-SPEC and AS9100 standards, positioning itself as a reliable supplier for non-catalog, low-volume, high-integrity hardware. CEN TEX DEFENSE INDUSTRIES LLC is a small, privately held business based in Fredericksburg, Texas, with no federal certifications on record. Its geographic location supports regional defense manufacturing networks, and its operational model emphasizes agility, quality, and responsiveness to military procurement needs without reliance on large-scale production infrastructure.
