Our Manufacturing Team
Engineering, Manufacturing and Testing
Most defense programs rely on multiple vendors, separate schedules, and disconnected quality systems.
Engineering, manufacturing, testing, and qualification are often spread across different organizations, creating unnecessary delays, added risk, and communication gaps.
Valor brings engineering, manufacturing, testing, inspection and quality together in one team, with one schedule from prototype through production.
Valor Tactical Innovations is an Indian-Owned Economic Enterprise (IEE) and a Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB). Valor’s customers operating under U.S. Government prime contracts or subcontracts that include FAR 26.104, the Indian Incentive Program, are eligible to apply for a 5% USG-funded rebate of the value (Target Cost or Firm-Fixed Price) of the PO placed with Valor. Guidelines for applying for the 5% rebate are included in the FAR clause. Rebates are subject to contracting officer approval and the availability of funds.
