Ametek SCP Inc.

Ametek SCP Inc., a division of Ametek Inc., manufactures specialized electronic components and cable assemblies for U.S. Navy and Defense Logistics Agency programs as a prime contractor on full-and-open, non-set-aside awards. The company is headquartered in Westerly, Rhode Island, with primary operations at its Watch Hill, Rhode Island facility, and competes across contract vehicles and delivery orders without set-aside restrictions.

Ametek SCP's federal footprint centers on high-reliability electronic packaging for harsh naval and submarine environments. The vendor's concrete capability mix includes SUBSAFE and Level 1 TR-317 series hull penetrator assemblies, submarine cable assemblies, power and launcher cable assemblies, electrical hull fittings, connector plug assemblies, wiring harnesses, and fiber optic test cables. Representative recent awards include a $98.6 million five-year indefinite delivery contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (awarded March 2026) for hull penetrator assemblies; a $1.92 million definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command for power cable assemblies (awarded January 2025); a $1.63 million definitive contract for submarine cable assemblies (awarded March 2024); and a $661 thousand delivery order for launcher cable assemblies under the NAVSUP submarine cable assembly IDIQ (awarded May 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Supply Systems Command account for 93% of awards by count and 98% of combined potential value — NAVSEA carries $119.3 million across 233 awards, and NAVSUP carries $91.7 million across 211 awards. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation places a distant third at 64 awards and $14.9 million combined potential value. This concentration reflects Ametek SCP's role as a critical supplier of mission-critical submarine and surface-ship electronic systems components; multiple awards cite Ametek SCP as either the sole source (proprietary design ownership) or one of a restricted set of approved sources that retain required engineering data, manufacturing knowledge, and technical qualification.

Ametek SCP holds three named indefinite delivery vehicles: a $98.6 million multiple-award IDIQ with NAVSEA for hull penetrator assemblies (five-year performance through March 2031); a $9.66 million multiple-award IDIQ with NAVSUP for submarine cable assemblies (five-year performance through May 2029, with three delivery orders executed totaling $1.08 million); and a $3.18 million single-award IDC with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for specialized cable assemblies (performance through August 2026). Task orders under these vehicles constitute the bulk of execution; seventeen task orders flow through the NAVSEA IDC N6660401D0487 and eleven through the NAVSUP N0025308D0004 vehicle.

Activity has remained relatively stable at 17–29 awards per year across 2022–2024, with a sharp drop to 8 awards in 2025 and only 4 in 2026 (year-to-date through early July). Eight awards carrying $8.2 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to recompete risk on near-term delivery orders.

In its subcontractor role, Ametek SCP supplies connector plug assemblies, blind mate connectors, and cable assemblies to Electric Boat Corporation on submarine construction programs (SSN 804, SSBN 826), to Lockheed Martin on connector plug assemblies (8419220-4), and to BAE Systems on multifunction modular mast blind mate connector sets. The subcontract footprint is modest (30 awards, or 5% of the total portfolio) and secondary to prime work.

Ametek SCP is the sole operating division of the source named in SAM; parent Ametek Inc. is a global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices with significant federal contract and grant awards across multiple subsidiaries. The SCP division's specialization in naval electronic packaging solutions and cable assemblies reflects a narrow but strategically important capability within the Ametek portfolio, serving as a dedicated supplier to Navy submarine and surface-ship programs where proprietary design data and manufacturing qualification create high switching costs.
