The North Carolina Defense Machining Program
The goal of the North Carolina Defense Machining Program is to help North Carolina machine shops and other aerospace vendors eliminate the complex processes of finding new Department of Defense business opportunities, win more DoD contracts and grow their businesses. The North Carolina Machining Program evaluates open contractual solicitations for aerospace and other repair parts that are posted on the Defense Logistics Agency's electronic bid board (DIBBS). Open solicitations with sufficient technical data to support bidding and manufacturing operations are identified and posted to SourceNC.com for member review.

The North Carolina Defense Machining Program is a product of the North Carolina Aerospace Alliance (NC-AA) and is managed by the North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC). Day to day operations are managed by SourceHorizon, Inc. on a contractual basis.
