GovParts

GovParts is where legacy blueprints meet modern engineering, delivering mission-critical components to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) with unmatched precision and compliance. From Made-to-Print metal parts to wire rope systems and complex assemblies, GovParts does more than manufacture; it rethinks how defense production can work better.

While most suppliers simply fulfill orders, GovParts digs deeper. It identifies and resolves inefficiencies hidden in outdated materials, legacy specs, and bureaucratic bottlenecks while remaining compliant. Since its acquisition by a woman entrepreneur in 2023, the company has more than doubled its sales, driven by a solutions-focused culture that blends technical rigor with strategic foresight.

Much of GovParts’ work involves bringing decades-old designs, some dating back to the 1970s, to life with today’s precision manufacturing tools. As a trusted partner of the Defense Logistics Agency, the company is known for tackling the challenges others avoid.

“We’re working with legacy materials and detailed packing requirements that push us to be more precise and innovative in our execution. While sometimes rooted in decades-old standards, these specifications present opportunities for us to uphold the highest quality while exploring more efficient ways to meet contract expectations,” says Adam Royer, general manager.

Although current procurement processes often limit pre-award feedback and deviation approvals can take up to 75 days, GovParts sees this as an area for collaboration and improvement, an opportunity to enhance agility and better support the Department of Defense’s mission-critical needs.

From Reactive to Revolutionary: Changing the Defense Game

GovParts challenges these constraints head-on, rewriting the playbook to bring modern solutions into a legacy-bound system. The company is moving upstream in the defense supply chain, shifting from reactive fulfillment to proactive engineering. By engaging earlier in the DoD acquisition process, GovParts helps clients modernize outdated specifications, identify better materials, and streamline post-award chaos into pre-award clarity.

GovParts delivers precision machining across all raw materials, including 4th and 5th-axis CNC capabilities. Its welding operations are AWS-certified across structural and aerospace codes, pairing with sheet metal fabrication capabilities that include laser, waterjet, and plasma cutting. Beyond metals, the company produces custom wire rope and chain assemblies, load-tested up to 220,000 pounds, and offers sewn components and webbing for defense applications. It also supports a wide range of kitting capabilities, such as assembling complete, ready-to-deploy kits tailored to contract specifications.

What makes these capabilities truly valuable is how GovParts integrates them. From start to finish, it manages everything: fabrication, assembly, finishing, packing, shipping, and contract compliance, all under one accountable system. This end-to-end approach enables speed, agility, and uncompromising quality.

Reimagining the Defense Supplier Role

GovParts is reimagining what a defense supplier can be—not just a vendor but a strategic partner influencing how the Department of Defense designs, sources, and deploys components. The company already works with engineers and program managers to shape smarter specs. It’s developing case studies that show how modern materials can replace outdated ones without compromising strength. It’s gaining a seat at tables once removed from the factory floor.

GovParts is also clear on where it draws the line. It doesn’t produce firearms or ammunition, but everything else, from intricate brackets to fully assembled systems, is fair game.

“You name it, we’ve probably done it. And if not, we can,” says Royer.

That confidence is rooted in performance. In 2024, the company expanded into a new facility to meet growing demand. Its quality systems continue to evolve, and its reputation for dependability is now one of its strongest assets. As GovParts’ footprint expands, so does its influence, not just on the defense supply chain but also on defense manufacturing.

GovParts is here to modernize a system that urgently needs it. With the precision of a machinist, an engineer’s foresight, and a warfighter’s grit, the company is carving a new path defined by smarter sourcing, tighter tolerances, and deeper partnerships.
