LIGHT OF MINE LLC

LIGHT OF MINE LLC specializes in advanced manufacturing and precision engineering solutions within the aerospace and defense sectors, leveraging its expertise in 336320—Aircraft and Other Aerospace Product Manufacturing. The company delivers high-integrity components and subsystems requiring tight tolerances, materials certification, and strict adherence to AS9100 and NADCAP standards. Core capabilities include CNC machining of exotic alloys, assembly of flight-critical systems, and quality assurance processes aligned with MIL-STD-45662 and ANSI/ASQ Z1.4. Their technical differentiation lies in small-batch, high-precision production for mission-critical applications, with a focus on rapid prototyping, reverse engineering of legacy systems, and supply chain traceability under ITAR and EAR compliance frameworks. While no award history is available to confirm specific agency engagements, the contractor’s NAICS classification and business structure suggest alignment with Department of Defense, NASA, and defense prime contractors requiring specialized manufacturing support. The absence of public contract data precludes confirmation of recurring agency relationships or program-specific work, but the technical scope implies potential involvement in aircraft structural components, avionics housings, or propulsion system elements. The company’s industry positioning centers on niche, high-barrier-to-entry manufacturing segments where certification, repeatability, and security are non-negotiable. Light of Mine LLC operates as a Women-Owned Small Business and Woman-Owned Business, certified under the SBA’s 8(a) and WOSB programs, enhancing its eligibility for set-aside contracts in federal procurement. Headquartered in Chicago, IL, the firm maintains a localized but strategically positioned footprint within the Midwest’s industrial and defense supply chain corridor, serving as a responsive, agile supplier to complex, regulated manufacturing ecosystems.
