The TSM’s Advantage

Texas Specialty Metals (TSM) operates as a full-spectrum metal service center with comprehensive machining and fabrication capabilities. The primary operations and warehouse are in Mead, Oklahoma, within a 5,000-square-foot facility dedicated to machining and fabrication. This facility includes climate-controlled and lockable areas to manage sensitive and segregated materials, ensuring compliance with high-security requirements. Security measures have been implemented to meet and exceed CMMC-type standards, supporting the secure handling of controlled and classified materials.

TSM adheres to an ISO 9001-2015 and AS9100D-compatible Quality Program, ensuring the traceability and high-quality standards required for government and defense contracts. The company is an approved supplier for General Dynamics, Ball Aerospace, BAE Space Systems, NASSCO, DLA/DCMA, and is listed on the DoD QSLD as a top-tier Quality Supplier. Additionally, TSM is JCP Enhanced approved for handling CUI documents and has been evaluated and approved by NASA, the US Navy, and multiple aerospace and defense organizations.

The company has no minimum purchase requirements and can accommodate orders ranging from single-pound purchases to large DoD quantity requirements, leveraging strong mill relationships and financial stability.

To support advanced precision manufacturing and reverse engineering, TSM has a MICROLUTION 363-S micro-mill CNC with .00004” resolution and a KEYENCE XM-5000 CM device, ensuring the highest level of inspection accuracy and reverse engineering capabilities, including 3D printing technology for prototype development. TSM is also capable of reverse engineering obsolete parts and redrawing older microfiche files for improved clarity and precision—most recently demonstrated with the approved revision of drawing 54-41435 Rev-Q.
