Who can CNC plasma cut aluminum?

I'm looking for a company that can CNC plasma cut 5086 aluminum (max thickness 5/16) from cad files I will supply. This would be low volume (one hull). I just need a quote for right now.

I live in Michgan, USA. I would prefer somebody local.....but I'm thinking that may not be possible. And once it has to be shipped I guess it doesn't really matter where it comes from.

for a one-off, why not just cut it yourself? It's not hard...

I wanna minimize labor, and I like the accuracy of CNC plasma/waterjet.

I'd have to have full size templates made anyway.

The cost may be worth the labor savings.
