What defense work looks like here

Controlled drawings, handled correctly

Marked and unmarked CUI is treated the way DFARS 7012 requires: secure channel in, controlled environment during the job, listed-shredder destruction after. Our guides explain how to tell if a drawing is CUI and what ITAR, JCP and CMMC mean.

Build-to-print, first article documented

Brackets, housings, fittings, shafts and fixtures machined to your drawing with AS9102 first article reports, CMM data, certificates of conformance and traceability from raw material to shipped part.

Sub-tier flow-down

Heat treat, plating, anodize and NDT are placed with certified vendors who meet the same DFARS flow-downs, and the marking travels with the data.

Hard alloys for defense hardware

4340 and 4140 steel, 17-4 PH, titanium and Inconel are routine; see titanium machining and Inconel machining.

Short lead times, small lots

Prototype and low-rate production are our normal work, with 5-axis setups that make one-off and small-lot complex parts economical.

Paperwork ready

DDTC registration letter, JCP DD-2345, AS9100D certificate and CAGE details are on the certifications page; SPRS status is verified by contracting officers under CAGE 97LA6.

Frequently asked questions

Is C&W Manufacturing ITAR registered?

Yes. C&W holds a current manufacturer registration with the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. A copy of the registration letter is available on our certifications page.

What is your CMMC status?

C&W holds CMMC Level 2 status in DoD's Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) under CAGE 97LA6, with covered defense information handled per NIST SP 800-171 as DFARS 252.204-7012 requires. Contracting officers can verify the status in SPRS.

Are you JCP certified to receive DoD technical data?

Yes. C&W is certified under the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (DD Form 2345), which qualifies us to receive militarily critical technical data for bidding and production.

How do I send ITAR or CUI drawings?

Contact us by phone or email first, without technical data, and we will set up a U.S.-hosted secure channel. Do not send controlled drawings through the website upload or plain email. If a marked print does arrive by email, we store it correctly on receipt and move the rest of the exchange to the secure channel.

Do you employ only U.S. persons?

Yes. Because showing export-controlled data to a foreign person inside the United States is a deemed export, C&W employs U.S. persons only and every employee has cleared a background check.

Which materials and parts do you machine for defense programs?

Build-to-print brackets, housings, fittings, shafts, spacers and fixtures in aluminum alloys, 4140 and 4340 steel, stainless including 17-4 PH, titanium, and Inconel and other nickel alloys, on 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC mills and CNC lathes.

Do you provide first-article inspection?

Yes. AS9102 first article inspection reports with CMM data, certificates of conformance and material traceability are standard under our AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 quality system.
