Need recommendation for PCB house and machine shop - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

We do quite a few component qualification for defense and space industry and as a result we design a lot of test fixtures and test and calibration PCB ourself. The PCB size is relative small 1x1 inches mostly with Roger 4350B material and one job could req'd 5 different PCBs of that size. The test fixture is also small and modular to house our PCBs and drawn with Solidworks 2006. We used to have it made locally (both PCB and test fixture housing) but the price is not very competitive. I need some recommendations regarding PCB house and machine shop who could build our test fixture w/ competitive pricing and I don't mind if they build it in China as long as shipping date is certain. No kidding.

Thanks
