About the company
Amplifier Research Corp, operating as the AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation Division of Ametek CTS US, manufactures specialized RF and microwave amplifiers, antennas, and electromagnetic test equipment for federal defense and aerospace customers as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards), with no SBA set-aside designations characterizing its prime footprint, though two small business set-asides appear in the award history.
Amplifier Research is a subsidiary of Ametek Inc., a publicly traded manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices headquartered in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. The division operates from Souderton, Pennsylvania and delivers RF power amplifiers across frequency ranges from 10 kHz to 18 GHz, solid-state and traveling wave tube amplifiers ranging from 40 watts to 10 kilowatts, antennas, field monitoring and electromagnetic compatibility test equipment, and repair and evaluation services. Representative recent work includes a $249.7 thousand purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) in December 2023 for a 500-watt, 2.5–7.5 GHz amplifier supporting electromagnetic compatibility testing at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division; a $265.8 thousand total small business set-aside from NAVSEA in January 2023 for a 1,000-watt solid-state amplifier (80–1000 MHz) and 250-watt traveling wave tube amplifier (6–18 GHz) for Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport; a $217.9 thousand sole-source award from NAVSEA in March 2025 for a 2.5 kW amplifier and electric field probe kits; and a $158.4 thousand small business set-aside from Naval Air Warfare Center in May 2024 for two solid-state RF amplifiers (0.7–6 GHz and 6–18 GHz, both 100 watts). A NASA Shared Services Center purchase order in June 2026 procured a 75-watt continuous-wave RF amplifier (1.0–6.0 GHz) for $47.9 thousand to support Launch Services, Exploration Ground Systems, and International Space Station programs.
Customer concentration heavily favors the Department of the Navy. NAVSEA leads with 82 awards (combined potential value $14.9 million) and the Naval Air Warfare Center contributes 19 awards ($844 thousand), together accounting for roughly 29% of the 440-award portfolio. The Department of the Army Test and Evaluation Command is the second-largest customer with 71 awards ($12.6 million combined potential value), driving Army programs in electromagnetic testing and field measurements. The top two customers by award count and potential value (NAVSEA and Army T&E Command) collectively represent 34% of awards and 64% of combined potential value. NASA, the Department of the Air Force, and the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command round out the federal customer base. Award frequency has remained steady over the past five years at 4 to 13 awards annually, with 2024 and 2025 averaging 10–11 awards per year. Only one award carries a completion date within the next twenty-four months ($56 thousand combined potential value), indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure.
Amplifier Research subcontracts on defense and aerospace RF systems work for L3Harris Technologies, BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services, RTX BBN Technologies, American Electronic Warfare Associates, General Dynamics Information Technology, and Assurance Technology Corp. Sub roles include provision of RF amplifiers and antenna systems for the Instrumentation Range Support Program III (BAE Systems), the EMU GRAPE program (RTX BBN), the BIG SAFARI program (L3Harris), and R&D support on transmitting energy radio frequency systems (TERFS) and electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) technical services.
The vendor's award portfolio concentrates heavily in radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing (NAICS 334220, 232 awards), electrical test instrumentation (NAICS 334515, 24 awards), and miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing (17 awards). PSC distribution centers on amplifiers (99 awards), electrical and electronic properties test instruments (62 awards), antennas and waveguides (40 awards), and communications equipment (32 awards). All awards are purchase orders and definitive contracts on a firm fixed-price basis, with no standing IDIQs or GWACs in the source. The parent company, Ametek Inc., holds separate federal contract prime awards and grants across broader instrument and component portfolios.
