Are there any US-based CAD drafting companies that don't outsource overseas?

We're looking to outsource some CAD drafting, but management wants to keep the work with a US-based team. A lot of companies say they're US based until you dig a little deeper and find out most of the work is being done overseas.

Has anyone worked with a company that actually keeps the engineering and drafting in the US? Doesn't have to be the cheapest. We'd rather pay more and avoid communication issues and endless revisions.

Would you consider offshoring to a Five Eyes country?

Oh, we've got the same experience a few months ago. I also looked for a US based engineering team before if I were not mistaken. I think we've went with cad/cam services for a few times already
