Alco Investment Company

Alaskan Copper Companies Inc., operating as Alaskan Copper & Brass Co., is a small business entity based in Kent, Washington, that has maintained active federal contracting status since its registration in the System for Award Management in March 2002. The company specializes in supplying specialized metal products and components to support federal defense and maritime operations. Alaskan Copper & Brass Co. serves as a critical supplier to the U.S. Navy and other federal agencies, providing precision-engineered metal materials essential for naval shipbuilding, maintenance, and repair programs. The vendor's SAM registration is current through January 22, 2026, and the company maintains a robust track record as both a prime contractor and subcontractor to major defense primes including National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, Vigor Marine LLC, BAE Systems, and other maritime contractors.

Alaskan Copper & Brass Co. has provided an extensive range of metal products through its federal contract portfolio, with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) serving as its primary funding agency for prime contract awards, supplemented by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) and U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces. Prime contract awards span tubing, piping, plates, sheets, bars, fittings, and specialized components such as pipe flanges, reducers, couplings, and elbows fabricated from materials including copper-nickel alloys (CUNI 70/30), aluminum alloys (5456-H116), stainless steel (316L), and other naval-grade specifications. Recent prime contracts awarded in 2025 include a $8,930 pipe flange purchase order from NAVSEA (September 2025) and a $22,200 tubing contract designated as a Total Small Business set-aside (August 2025), with additional awards ranging from several hundred dollars for individual components to larger procurement orders exceeding $171,000. The company has received both set-aside and non-set-aside designations, with numerous contracts specifically designated as Total Small Business set-asides, reflecting its qualification as a small business concern. As a subcontractor, Alaskan Copper & Brass Co. has supplied coded repair materials, non-specification materials, and specialized components to prime contractors including National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (extensive subcontract awards dating through 2023), Vigor Marine LLC, BAE Systems divisions (San Diego, Jacksonville, and Norfolk ship repair facilities), Pacmar Technologies LLC, Delphinus Engineering, Oceaneering International, HII Fleet Support Group, and Prism Maritime. The subcontract awards demonstrate the company's critical role in the naval supply chain, providing materials supporting vessel construction, maintenance, and repair operations across multiple naval shipyards and ship repair facilities nationwide.
