Allied High TECH Products, Inc.

Allied High TECH Products, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of metallographic sample preparation and analysis equipment based in Cerritos, California, operates as a federal prime contractor selling precision laboratory instruments and consumables to defense and civilian research agencies. The vendor competes predominantly under full-and-open procurement rather than set-asides, though Total Small Business set-aside awards recur across the prime footprint, representing roughly 20% of recent awards and anchoring several Air Force and Navy purchases.

Allied High TECH specializes in metallography and materials-analysis instruments, including automated polishing and grinding systems (MultiPrep, MetPrep, TechCut product lines), high-speed sectioning and cutoff saws, precision milling systems, and related fluid dispensers, sample holders, and consumables. Representative prime work includes a $393 thousand Air Force Zeiss metallograph software upgrade at Crystal City, California (November 2022), a $204 thousand Naval Strategic Systems Programs X-PREP Precision Milling/Polishing System for Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane (March 2024), a $92 thousand Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex purchase of TechCut 5X sectioning saws (June 2024), a $45 thousand NASA Glenn Research Center MultiPrep 12" Polishing System (August 2023), and ongoing sole-source NASA Shared Services Center purchases for high-precision polishers and sectioning machines in the $30–50 thousand range through May 2026. Across the footprint, the vendor holds primary NAICS codes 334512 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, 47 awards) and subordinate codes in industrial machinery and abrasive product manufacturing; primary PSC 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, 67 awards) dominates procurement categorization.

Customer concentration sits with defense research and materiel commands. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 42% of recent awards, led by Naval Sea Systems Command (17 awards, $261 thousand combined potential value) and Army Materiel Command Research, Development and Engineering Command (14 awards, $716 thousand), followed by NASA Shared Services Center (13 awards, $391 thousand), Office of Naval Research (12 awards, $194 thousand), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (11 awards, $239 thousand). The potential-value ranking diverges slightly: Army RDECom and Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex (7 awards, $670 thousand) anchor the largest dollars, but Naval Sea Systems Command leads award frequency. The vendor also serves the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of the Air Force, the U.S. Mint, and 33 additional federal organizations across defense, civilian research, and law enforcement portfolios.

Activity has remained flat to modest over the past five years—five awards in 2022 through 2023, four in 2024, seven in 2025, and five through mid-2026—with a combined potential value of $5.4 million across 161 prime and sub awards since 2004. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months ($21 thousand combined exposure), indicating minimal near-term recompete risk. In its small subcontractor footprint (4 awards, 2% of total), Allied High TECH supplies metallography systems to General Atomics for inertial confinement fusion target research and development (April 2026), and supplies glove-box grinders and polishers rated for high gamma radiation environments to Fluor Marine Propulsion for Naval Nuclear Laboratory and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program support (March and July 2025). A fourth sub award to Consolidated Nuclear Security involves materiel support at Y-12 National Security Complex and Pantex Plant (July 2024). Across both roles, the vendor's footprint centers on delivering specialized materials-analysis instruments for federal research, failure analysis, and sustainment operations at defense laboratories, NASA centers, and civilian measurement standards agencies.
