Amet, Inc.

Amet, Inc., doing business as Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Technologies, manufactures and supplies welding equipment, vision systems, and related industrial machinery to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards), with selective subcontract work on naval nuclear propulsion and national laboratory programs. Amet is a for-profit manufacturer based in Rexburg, Idaho, with no SBA certifications across its recent federal footprint; the vendor competes predominantly full-and-open, though one recent purchase order carried a Total Small Business set-aside designation.

Amet's customer concentration is heavily skewed to the Navy. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 15 awards and $303 thousand of combined potential value — 43% of the vendor's total dollar footprint — and the broader Navy enterprise (including US Pacific Fleet Forces and general Navy awards) represents 22 of 25 prime awards. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center account for the remaining substantial dollars ($280 thousand and $97 thousand respectively). Amet has served eight distinct federal agencies over the source period, but 89% of awards cluster in the Naval enterprise.

Amet's capability portfolio centers on welding equipment manufacturing and related industrial supplies. Recent representative prime work includes a $8,500 on-site training delivery to Naval Sea Systems Command in February 2026 to qualify personnel on the Amet Automatic Welding Machine (maturity April 2026); a $28,160 vision system camera supply to NAVSEA in April 2023; and a $21,809.80 Gen2 XM controller supply to US Pacific Fleet Forces in March 2023 under a Total Small Business set-aside. The top NAICS categories are Welding and Soldering Equipment Manufacturing (11 awards) and Hardware Manufacturing (1 award); PSC codes cluster around electric arc welding equipment, miscellaneous welding supplies and accessories, gas welding and heat cutting equipment, and welding positioners and manipulators.

In its subcontractor role, Amet delivers engineering analysis and welding equipment to defense primes managing Navy nuclear propulsion and national laboratory operations. Recent sub work includes a June 2026 engineering analysis task for weld fixtures under Triad National Security's competition for Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operations; a March 2026 welding power supply task under Fluor Marine Propulsion's Naval Nuclear Laboratory and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program management; and a June 2023 streamlined changes task under Electric Boat Corporation's submarine maintenance contract.

Activity has been episodic rather than sustained — one award in 2016, two in 2017, then a five-year gap before three awards in 2023 and three more in 2026. Combined potential value across all 28 awards totals $703 thousand, but combined dollars obligated reach $1.6 million (222% of potential value), indicating that actual contract performance has exceeded published ceiling estimates.
