MIL-SPEC Sheet Metal Fabrication Serving Oshkosh Defense Contractors
Oshkosh Corporation and its tier-1 supplier base demand tight tolerances and ITAR compliance. Our certified partner network delivers both, with 24-hour quotes and FAI included.
Oshkosh, WI is one of the most defense-dense manufacturing cities in the Midwest. Oshkosh Corporation—prime contractor for the JLTV and FMTV programs—anchors a thick tier-1 and tier-2 supplier ecosystem across Winnebago County. Suppliers feeding that chain need sheet metal fabricated to MIL-SPEC standards, with traceable materials, proper surface finishes, and zero tolerance for documentation gaps. Nimble connects Oshkosh defense suppliers directly to our certified partner network of ITAR-registered, ISO 9001 sheet metal fabricators who understand program requirements, not just print dimensions. From laser-cut armor brackets to welded enclosures for vehicle electronics, we scope, quote, and deliver to defense timelines.
Oshkosh Corporation’s production of JLTVs, HEMTTs, and PLS vehicles creates sustained demand for precision sheet metal across hundreds of local and regional suppliers. Companies like Actuant, Pierce Manufacturing, and smaller Winnebago County fabricators operate in a supply chain where ITAR compliance and MIL-SPEC documentation are baseline requirements, not premium add-ons. Our certified partner network is structured to meet that baseline on day one.

// FAQ
Common questions about Sheet Metal Fabrication for Defense & Military in Oshkosh, WI.
Are your partner shops ITAR-registered for Oshkosh defense programs?
Yes. Every partner shop we route defense work through is ITAR-registered. If your program requires controlled data handling or restricted access to technical drawings, we manage that routing intentionally and document it. This matters for suppliers feeding Oshkosh Corporation’s JLTV and HEMTT programs where export control compliance is audited at the prime level.
Can you fabricate to MIL-SPEC material and finish requirements common in Oshkosh vehicle programs?
Yes. Our certified partner network handles MIL-SPEC steel and aluminum alloys, including armor-grade plate, and supports finishes like MIL-DTL-5541 chemical film (Alodine), MIL-PRF-23377 epoxy primer, and MIL-DTL-13924 black oxide. If the finish is on your drawing callout, we’ll source a partner shop that can hit it with proper documentation.
How fast can Nimble turn around a quote for a defense sheet metal component in Oshkosh?
24 hours is our standard quote turnaround. Upload your prints and any program-specific requirements to quote@nimblemfg.co or call +1 (872) 347-2224. If your program has an urgent RFQ window — common with Oshkosh Corporation supplier portals — flag it and we’ll prioritize accordingly.
Do you support First Article Inspection and CMM reporting for defense sheet metal parts?
FAI and CMM inspection are included on every order, not quoted as line-item add-ons. For defense buyers in the Oshkosh supply chain, that means you get dimensional reports formatted to AS9102 expectations without having to negotiate for them. DCMA and customer source inspection coordination is also available when required.
Can Nimble handle low-volume defense prototype runs alongside higher-volume production orders for Oshkosh-area programs?
Yes. Our certified partner network scales across prototype quantities, bridge production, and full production runs. This is particularly useful for Oshkosh-area tier-2 suppliers who prototype with engineering, then need to ramp when a vehicle program hits full-rate production. You get the same ITAR-registered shops, same documentation chain, across all volumes.
