WHITAKER CATHERINE

Whitaker Catherine specializes in precision manufacturing and advanced fabrication services within the medical device and specialty equipment sector, as indicated by its primary NAICS code 339115, which encompasses surgical and medical instrument manufacturing. The contractor delivers high-tolerance components and assemblies requiring stringent quality controls, including compliance with ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, and AS9100 standards. Technical expertise includes CNC machining, precision grinding, surface finishing, and assembly of Class II medical devices, with a focus on materials such as surgical-grade stainless steels, titanium alloys, and biocompatible polymers. Key differentiators include rigorous documentation practices, traceability systems, and validated processes aligned with regulatory requirements for implantable and diagnostic instrumentation. While award history is not available to identify specific agency engagements, the contractor’s technical profile suggests alignment with defense, veterans’ health, and public health procurement channels that require domestically produced, FDA-regulated medical hardware. The absence of disclosed contract data precludes confirmation of direct agency relationships, but the nature of the NAICS code implies potential work supporting DOD medical logistics, VA procurement, or HHS supply chain initiatives. The business operates as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Woman-Owned Business, leveraging federal contracting preferences to position itself in niche manufacturing markets requiring certified small business participation. Located in El Cajon, California, the entity maintains a localized operational footprint with capacity for agile, low-volume, high-complexity production runs. Its certification status enhances competitiveness in set-aside programs for medical device suppliers, particularly where supply chain resilience and domestic sourcing are prioritized. The company’s structure supports responsive, quality-driven manufacturing tailored to regulated environments.
