Sourcing MIL-Spec Anodizing, Answered Up Front
If you are sourcing MIL-A-8625 Anodizing or MIL-DTL-5541 chemical conversion coating against a defense contract, the codes you need are in the strip above so your procurement system can find us without an email exchange first. Our CAGE code is 9CSF4, our NAICS code is 332813, and our PSC code is K010.
Behind those codes is a working Anodizing shop in Paoli, Indiana, with five employees on the floor. Commercial and defense parts move through the same tanks on the same schedule, and that does not change when the paperwork says the customer is a prime. If a delivery order tightens things, we will tell you plainly: it is about timing that week, not about whether we can do the work.

The Military Specifications
Both Anodizing types under MIL-A-8625, chemical conversion coating under MIL-DTL-5541, and the NASA/JSC PRC process specifications. Each has its own page explaining what the callout is asking for, written for the person holding the drawing.
One note that saves rework on defense jobs specifically: we do not run Type I Chromic Acid Anodizing. When a drawing carries a Type I callout we say so before quoting. Substituting Type II and hoping the difference stays buried until inspection is not a favor to anybody.
Sourcing
How a Defense Job Runs From Solicitation to Finished Parts
Send the drawing package and the process callouts, and we quote from them the same way we quote any commercial job. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 days once parts reach our dock, with expedites as fast as same day, which is usually the figure that matters when a delivery order is compressing a schedule that was already tight.
A note for spec readers on Hard Coat: non-sealed anodic coating gives the best wear resistance, while sealing improves corrosion protection at a small cost in surface hardness. If your callout is silent on the seal state, we will flag it before we run instead of choosing for you. The same applies to any other ambiguity in the package. It is our responsibility to confirm a callout that looks questionable, not to guess. A quick phone call before we run costs far less than a first article inspection after the fact.
Specification texts for MIL-A-8625 and MIL-DTL-5541 are published free on the government's ASSIST library at quicksearch.dla.mil. Our entity information is on SAM.gov under the UE ID above.

The Specification Pages a Buyer Usually Opens Next
Each of the three specifications we run most has a page explaining what it requires and how the callout reads. They were written for the person checking whether a vendor understands the drawing, which on a defense job is usually the real question.
