A.m.s. Network, LLC

A.M.S. Network, LLC, doing business as AMS Network LLC, operates as a small business manufacturer and distributor of military support materials and specialized components, competing predominantly as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across full-and-open and small business set-aside procurements. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based LLC distributes adhesives, fasteners, insulation materials, gaskets, valves, landing materials, fiberglass reinforced polymer panels, aircraft maintenance components, vehicle parts, and hydraulic systems to the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, and allied federal agencies. The vendor is not designated as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or any other formal SBA set-aside category in the source material; however, it frequently competes under total small business set-asides and has won awards across both set-aside and full-and-open designations.

The vendor's footprint is heavily skewed toward Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment, which accounts for 5,189 awards (81% of all prime awards) and $49.1 million in combined potential value, predominantly for landing materials, vehicular body panels, and related logistics components. The second-tier customer concentration includes Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (320 awards, $11.2 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (314 awards, $5.2 million), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (300 awards, $7.7 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (87 awards, $4.5 million). When ranked by dollar potential value, the Air Force's Air Education and Training Command dominates with $488.2 million across 17 awards—a stark divergence from award-count rankings that signals large, strategically important delivery orders for airfield damage repair fiberglass reinforced polymer panels; recent AETC delivery orders total $4.1 million, $2.84 million, $13.1 million, and $11.2 million. This customer concentration pattern indicates the vendor's business model pivots on high-frequency, low-dollar commodity purchases to DLA and Navy supply nodes, anchored by periodic large material delivery orders to AETC for specialized FRP and composite systems.

A.M.S. Network holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts. The largest is a single-award, firm fixed-price IDC with the U.S. Coast Guard for blue coated cloth for MH-60T aircraft, valued at $1.64 million with expiration August 15, 2029; a modification issued November 22, 2024 exercised an additional $310,620 delivery order. The second is a single-award, total small business set-aside IDC with Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal for pneumatic wheel assemblies (NSN 2530-01-668-3509), valued at $3.04 million through December 3, 2027; a concurrent delivery order for $1.52 million was issued in December 2025 for ultimate completion May 5, 2027. The third is a Department of Defense Aviation single-award IDC valued at $350,000, awarded December 17, 2025 through December 16, 2030. An expired Army Materiel Command Blanket Purchase Agreement for spare parts and supplies supporting foreign military sales, valued at $3.0 million, was cited in multiple award summaries as active through August 2025 but appears no longer current in the portfolio. The two primary parent vehicles listed are generic DLA IDCs (SPE8EG17D0074 with 3,429 task orders and SPE8ES16D0016 with 1,620 task orders), indicating the vendor issues task orders directly to DLA vehicles rather than holding named seats on specialty GWACs or GSA Schedules.

A.M.S. Network's award concentration by NAICS and PSC is extraordinarily narrow. The top NAICS category is Adhesive Manufacturing (5,215 awards), followed by Noncurrent-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (169 awards) and Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (135 awards). The top PSC is Adhesives (3,453 awards), with Preservative and Sealing Compounds (1,632 awards) as the second tier. This concentration—adhesives and sealants account for approximately 78% of all awards—suggests the vendor operates primarily as a distributor of branded, off-the-shelf industrial consumables rather than a manufacturer of custom defense systems. Landing materials, vehicular body panels, and FRP panels represent secondary portfolio streams but carry substantially higher per-order values.

Activity has declined year over year: 154 awards in 2022, 82 in 2023, 67 in 2024, 145 in 2025, and 42 in the first half of 2026. The combined potential value across 6,416 prime awards totals $609 million, with $140.2 million obligated (23% realization rate), indicating a significant tail of unexercised ceiling value across older indefinite delivery vehicles and standing purchase orders. Awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months total 22 with combined potential value of $15.9 million, presenting modest recompete exposure for the vendor and moderate opportunity for competitors to capture space on Army, Coast Guard, and DLA logistics vehicles.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; only two sub-awards appear in the source, both minimal: a sub-task under Applied Research Associates on a small airfield pavement testing contract (no dollar value provided). A.M.S. Network does not appear in any major federally funded R&D center portfolios, GWAC listings beyond generic DLA vehicles, or GSA Schedules in the provided source material.

The vendor's business is fundamentally a supply-chain arbitrage model: sourcing military-specification adhesives, fasteners, hydraulic components, and composite panels from manufacturers (Dexter Axle, Trelleborg, Henkel Loctite, PALL, Hexagon, and others) and distributing them into federal supply chains on behalf of DLA and service branches. Large delivery orders for airfield damage repair materials and aircraft maintenance textiles represent the high-value outliers within an otherwise high-volume, low-margin consumables business. The vendor has been registered as a federal contractor since October 2010 and maintains continuous engagement across 57 federal customer agencies, but customer concentration and category concentration both point to a vertically constrained, transactional supplier model rather than a systems integrator or developer of proprietary defense capabilities.
