About the company
Ampal Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Palmerton, Pennsylvania, manufactures specialized aluminum powder and advanced materials for defense and research applications, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on federal purchases and research contracts with no subcontracting footprint. Ampal does not compete under set-aside vehicles; its recent federal work splits between unrestricted purchases and set-aside awards where specified by solicitation, with no recurring SBA designation posture.
Ampal's capability portfolio centers on high-specification aluminum powder production conforming to military and research standards. Representative work includes a $1.9 million Defense Logistics Agency SBIR Phase II contract (SP4701-23-C-0091) awarded September 2023 for automation of aluminum powder transport and packout, a $37.1 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Joint Munitions Command (October 2024) for 7,000 lbs of Aluminum Type II Class 5 Grade C per MIL-DTL-512D delivered to White Hall, Arkansas, and recent small-value purchase orders from the Office of Naval Research for aluminum powder research support (February and March 2026, totaling $1.1 thousand combined).
Customer concentration is heavily defense-weighted. The top five funding agencies account for 89% of awards by count and 100% of combined potential value. The Joint Munitions Command (Army Materiel Command) dominates with five awards carrying $3.4 million combined potential value; the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support anchors the second position with a single $1.9 million SBIR award. The Department of the Navy (Naval Sea Systems Command and Office of Naval Research) and broader Department of the Army round out the customer set with smaller purchases. Ampal places work under a single parent vehicle, an indefinite delivery contract (DAAA0388C0002), with one task order tracked.
Activity is sparse and episodic — one award per year in 2008 and 2009, then a two-decade gap before resurging in 2023 with one award, one in 2024, and two in 2026. A single award with combined potential value of $37 thousand faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Ampal has no recorded subcontracting relationships in the federal portfolio. The vendor's primary NAICS classification is Secondary Smelting and Alloying of Aluminum (seven awards), with secondary work in analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing and ammunition manufacturing.
