AMZ Alabama Inc.

AMZ Alabama Inc., operating through its AMZ Defense Systems Corp. Division, manufactures specialized mechanical hardware, fasteners, cable assemblies, hose assemblies, wiring harnesses, and structural components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts. The company is a self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) based in Anniston, Alabama, and competes predominantly on full-and-open contracts with no set-aside designations, though it occasionally wins Total Small Business set-aside awards.

AMZ Alabama's federal footprint has grown sharply in recent years, from a single award in 2021 to 152 awards in 2026 (through April 15), generating a combined potential value of $142.2 million across 490 total awards. However, real invoiced obligation stands at only $18.2 million (13% of potential value), reflecting a portfolio weighted heavily toward high-ceiling purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts that may not fully execute. The company delivers mechanical fasteners (bolts, screws, washers, rivets), hardware components, electrical/electronic assemblies, vehicular structural parts, hose and cable assemblies, and Class IX supplies—work performed entirely at its Anniston facility.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 432 of 490 awards (88% of award count) and $18 million combined potential value, driven by a steady stream of firm fixed-price purchase orders for standardized components. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal, by contrast, anchors only 6 awards but represents $124.1 million in potential value, concentrated in a single large indefinite-delivery vehicle (SPRDL118D0022) worth $8 million across 3 task orders that dominate the high-dollar opportunity set. The remaining small share goes to DLA Aviation (19 awards, $51 thousand) and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (32 awards, $33 thousand). This split reveals tension between volume (routine DLA purchase orders at modest individual values) and concentrated large dollars (Army Materiel Command contracts).

The company holds five active indefinite-delivery contract vehicles, all single-award with $350,000 ceilings and no set-asides, plus a 2026 Basic Ordering Agreement under the BOAST (Basic Ordering Agreement Sustainment Track) program for Class IX supplies through April 1, 2031 (no stated ceiling). These IDCs procure grooved headless pins, idler wheels, metal grilles, mechanical hardware kits, and specialized electronics components—all with typical delivery windows of 90 to 252 days and three to four anticipated orders per year per vehicle.

Recent activity shows accelerating procurement: the company moved from 3 awards in 2023 and 1 in 2024 to 332 in 2025, then 152 through mid-April 2026. This trajectory reflects rapid scaling of DLA order frequency. The recompete cliff is substantial: 239 awards (combined potential value $10.2 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, concentrated among purchase orders with May through December 2026 completion dates.

The vendor engages named subcontractors selectively—Miner Elastomer Products Corporation on a $180.1 million vehicular bumper assembly award (December 2025) and Greene Metal Products Inc. on a $155.6 million roof hatch assembly award (January 2026)—but the vast majority of awards carry no identified subs. Recorded sub-engagement is limited to these two large structural component procurements; most work flows directly from AMZ Alabama's own manufacturing.

AMZ Alabama competes predominantly in full-and-open, non-set-aside contract vehicles and does not leverage SDB set-asides despite holding the certification. The company's entry into federal contracting was recent: SAM.gov registration occurred in July 2025, yet the source data shows retrospective awards back to 2018 at minimal volume. The sharp acceleration beginning in 2025 suggests either recent aggressive pursuit of DLA contracts or late registration of an existing supplier relationship. Anniston's regional concentration—a long-established defense manufacturing hub—positions AMZ Alabama as a local supplier for standardized components where delivery speed and regional inventory access matter. The company's capacity to win contracts valued at $180 million plus indicates manufacturing scale sufficient to handle large-quantity assemblies, yet most of the 490-award portfolio consists of sub-$25,000 purchase orders, indicating a mixed production footprint across both component-level and assembly-level capability.
