AMZ Alabama Inc.

AMZ Alabama Inc., a for-profit, self-certified small disadvantaged business manufacturer headquartered in Anniston, Alabama, manufactures torsion bars and suspension system components for military vehicles as both a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency (17% of recent awards) and a high-volume subcontractor to BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. on Army ground-combat vehicle production (83% of recent awards). The company competes full-and-open on all federal awards with no set-aside designations.

AMZ Alabama's customer base is overwhelmingly defense-focused and concentrated within Army and Marine Corps vehicle sustainment. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for all fourteen of the company's prime awards, collectively valued at $29 million in potential value. The top customer by award count is the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Ground Combat Systems, which issued sixty-four of the company's eighty-eight total awards — nearly all of which are subcontract positions under BAE Systems. The United States Marine Corps issued eight awards, and the Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command issued one award valued at $820 thousand. The portfolio split reflects a sharp operational divergence: DLA awards represent stable, recurring supply orders to the prime contractor, while Army-sourced volume originates entirely through BAE Systems subcontracting relationships.

AMZ Alabama holds three primary-vehicle positions on DLA Land and Maritime IDIQs established October 2024 with a combined ceiling of $14.78 million through October 2029. These IDIQs generated fourteen delivery orders and purchase orders, with individual award values ranging from $47,935 to $686,927, all for torsion bar suspension components (National Stock Numbers 2510013000224, 2510015421271, 2510011085305, and others). Representative DLA prime awards include a $651,863 firm fixed-price delivery order issued October 28, 2025, for torsion bar manufacture with completion by June 8, 2027; a $686,927 delivery order issued the same date; and a $432,911 purchase order issued August 11, 2025, under a Total Small Business set-aside solicitation, with completion by March 1, 2027.

On the subcontract side, AMZ Alabama performs as a material and component supplier to BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. across multiple Army vehicle production programs. Subcontract activity centers on three primary Army indefinite delivery vehicles: IDC W56HZV22D0083 (16 task orders), IDC W912CH24D0016 (10 task orders), and IDC M6785421D0001 (8 task orders). The subcontract work spans Bradley A4 follow-on production (M2A4 and M7A4 vehicle manufacturing), M109A7/M992A3 self-propelled howitzer and armored personnel carrier production, AMPV (Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle) follow-on production with Ukraine sustainment support, and M88A2 production efforts. Subcontracts issued March 12, 2025, alone carried individual values exceeding $11.1 million (parts delivery order) and $6.6 million (combined CLIN amounts), with numerous material-supply sub-awards issued monthly from February through November 2025. AMZ Alabama's shift from exclusive subcontractor status with BAE Systems in early 2025 to concurrent prime contractor status with DLA reflects rapid expansion within the defense supply chain.

Activity has accelerated sharply. The portfolio shows one award in 2007, two in 2020, five in 2024, and seventy-nine in 2025, with one award in 2026 as of February. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $29.9 million; however, combined dollars obligated (actual invoiced revenue) reach $137.5 million, indicating significant delivery against ceiling values and substantial production volume. Seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $2.6 million and representing modest recompete exposure. Primary NAICS concentration aligns with the product portfolio: fifty-three awards in Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing (NAICS 336992), twenty-nine in Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing (336211), and three in Motor Vehicle Steering and Suspension Components except Spring Manufacturing (336330). The company's manufacturing footprint is fixed at its Anniston, Alabama facility, which supplies both DLA and BAE Systems production lines serving Army and Marine Corps vehicle sustainment across the continental United States and forward-deployed locations supporting Ukraine assistance efforts.
