About the company
Advanced Ceramics Manufacturing, LLC, a minority-owned, American Indian-owned small disadvantaged business based in Tucson, Arizona, manufactures advanced ceramic materials, thermal protection systems, and composite components for defense, aerospace, and energy applications as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), operating exclusively under small business set-asides across its federal footprint. The company is structured as a limited liability partnership and specializes in high-entropy ceramic materials, mandrel manufacturing, and additive manufacturing of thermal protection systems for hypersonic weapons and next-generation aerospace platforms.
Advanced Ceramics Manufacturing operates almost entirely within Department of Defense research and development channels, with customer concentration heavily skewed toward Army and Navy customers. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 59% of all awards, led by the Naval Air Warfare Center (9 awards, $1.7 million combined potential value), NASA Shared Services Center (8 awards, $3.2 million), and Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (8 awards, $2.6 million). However, by dollar concentration, the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Center anchors the portfolio with 6 awards carrying $14.6 million in combined potential value — 41% of the company's total potential value across all 59 awards ($35.9 million combined). The rankings diverge sharply: Navy places many small awards while Army concentrates dollars in fewer, larger contracts. Advanced Ceramics Manufacturing holds positions on two Army indefinite delivery contracts (W911W606D0013 and W911W610D0007) carrying 4 task orders totaling $4.6 million.
Recent capability work reflects a materials-research-focused portfolio. The company holds an active $1.8 million STTR Phase II contract from Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support for high-entropy thermal protection systems materials (ultimate completion December 2026), a $1.48 million Missile Defense Agency SBIR Phase II for additive manufacturing of thermal protection system materials (completion July 2026), a $1.2 million Naval Strategic Systems Programs definitive contract for ceramic composites (completion August 2026), and a $999 thousand Defense Logistics Agency SBIR Phase II for high-temperature ceramic insulation for hypersonic weapons (completion April 2026). Earlier awards include a $1.1 million Naval Air Warfare Center SBIR extension (completion August 2026) and a $900 thousand NASA SBIR Phase II for high-emissivity channel materials (completion May 2025). The company also received a $250 thousand Department of Energy Office of Science grant for structural components with corrosion-resistant surface layers for advanced nuclear reactor systems (completed December 2023). Most recently, Advanced Ceramics Manufacturing was awarded a $225 thousand Shared Services Center Phase I SBIR for durable hydrophobic thermal protection system coatings (completion March 2027) and a $107 thousand Naval Air Warfare Center purchase order for a mandrel set (completion September 2026).
Activity has been sparse in 2024 and 2025 (1 and 3 awards respectively) following higher volume in 2023 (6 awards). Only 2 awards (combined potential value $2 million) face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor's award portfolio, spanning primarily SBIR and STTR research and development phases with manufacturing follow-on potential, remains concentrated within DoD small-business research vehicles and specialized materials development for hypersonic, nuclear, and advanced aerospace applications.
