Alta Enterprises, Inc.

Alta Enterprises, Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, supplies computer numerical controlled (CNC) machining equipment—horizontal mills, vertical mills, lathes, and related precision metalworking machinery—to the Department of the Army and the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor (73% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on manufacturing modernization programs. The vendor operates under full-and-open competition; recent prime awards split between total small business set-asides and non-set-aside procurement. Alta competes primarily under NAICS 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing) and related machine-tool codes, with a capability footprint centered on equipment procurement, installation, training, and warranty support.

Alta's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Army programs. The top four agencies account for 87% of recent awards by count and 93% by combined potential value, with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) anchoring the portfolio at 9 awards worth $4.2 million in combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center places 11 awards but at substantially lower per-award magnitude ($162 thousand combined potential value across all eleven), followed by the Navy's Sea Systems Command and the National Institute of Standards and Technology with smaller exposure. This spread signals that CECOM is Alta's primary customer and highest-value relationship, while Navy work consists of smaller, higher-frequency orders.

Recent representative prime work includes a $1.015 million firm fixed-price purchase order from CECOM awarded March 11, 2026, for procurement and installation of a CNC horizontal machining center at Tobyhanna Army Depot, a $246,900 total small business set-aside from CECOM in April 2025 for a CNC lathe machine replacement with training and software integration, and an $895,000 total small business set-aside from CECOM in June 2023 for design and installation of a CNC horizontal machining center. In its subcontractor role, Alta supplies machining equipment components and materials under Systems Application & Technologies Inc. on what the source describes as a PMI-20 UpCut Saw program, with multiple modifications dated May 30, 2024, realigning funding and extending option-year CLINs.

Activity across the recent five-year window shows volatility — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, eight in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with most pipeline exposure concentrated in the trailing year. Only one award (worth $1 million combined potential value) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete pressure. Combined obligated dollars across all awards ($6.2 million) exceed combined potential value ($5.9 million) by 5%, indicating overhead absorption or performance above ceiling on a subset of contracts.
