These days, especially if dealing with government contracts, many processors require a NADCAP certification to be able to perform their work. It's often not very cost effective for a manufacturer to do processing unless they are dealing with very large contracts with huge volumes of parts or if they are bringing in outside work from other vendors.
Daniel Defense is pretty big, but it wouldn't surprise me if they used outside processors just like pretty much every other manufacturer out there.
