KESSINGTON, LLC

KESSINGTON, LLC specializes in precision machining, metal fabrication, and welding services for high-integrity aerospace and government applications. Their technical expertise includes the production of complex components using advanced machine shop processes, with demonstrated capability in instrumentation integration, non-destructive testing (NDT), and inspection protocols required for mission-critical systems. The contractor delivers end-to-end metalworking solutions—from raw material conversion to final qualification—ensuring dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and compliance with stringent aerospace standards. Their specialization in small-batch, high-tolerance manufacturing positions them as a responsive partner for custom components where repeatability and traceability are paramount. The company has established a direct working relationship with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, supporting the Glenn Research Center under a blanket purchase agreement. This engagement involves the production and integration of precision-machined parts, welded assemblies, and instrumented hardware essential to propulsion, thermal control, and experimental test systems. The nature of the work suggests a focus on research-grade hardware requiring rigorous documentation, material certification, and adherence to NASA-specific quality frameworks. KESSINGTON’s primary industry focus is in NAICS 332710—Machine Shops—where they operate as a specialized supplier of custom machined and fabricated metal components. Their market positioning centers on serving technical agencies requiring low-volume, high-complexity parts that demand tight tolerances and certified inspection processes. While their award history is limited to this single NAICS category, their scope of work aligns closely with the needs of aerospace and defense research environments. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Elkhart, Indiana, KESSINGTON, LLC operates with a lean, agile model focused on technical execution rather than broad-scale production. The company holds no federal certifications but leverages its precision manufacturing capabilities to meet the exacting standards of federal technical customers through process discipline and quality control. Their geographic location supports regional supply chain needs while maintaining direct access to federal research centers in the Midwest.
