Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc.

Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc., headquartered in Hampton, Virginia, delivers aerospace systems engineering, computational fluid dynamics, thermal protection systems analysis, and research support services to NASA as a small-business prime contractor on single-award IDIQs, OASIS+ vehicles, and the GSA Professional Services Schedule, with 97% of recent awards as prime and strong concentration at NASA Langley Research Center.

The company is a for-profit corporate entity classified as a small business, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across its NASA work and full-and-open on government-wide vehicles. Recent awards span April 2026 delivery orders at NASA Ames for aeronautics project support ($3.27 million), computational fluid dynamics development ($4.6 million), thermal protection systems work ($10.1 million), and aeromechanics analysis ($3.68 million), all priced cost-plus-fixed-fee through March 31, 2027 at Moffett Federal Airfield, Mountain View, California. Work includes computational modeling for urban air mobility and rotorcraft concepts, OpenVSP aerodynamic software enhancements, thermal protection systems for entry, descent, and landing applications, and IT infrastructure management. AMA also holds a $7.7 million delivery order at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center for safety and mission assurance engineering services (August 2025), a $1.56 million Armstrong order for mission operations support (August 2025), and an $8.08 million facilities engineering and maintenance support order through January 2028.

Customer concentration is extreme. NASA Langley Research Center accounts for 189 awards carrying $2.39 billion in combined potential value (76% of the total portfolio); NASA centers—Langley, Ames, and Armstrong combined—represent 217 of 284 awards shown in top-tier rankings (56% of all prime awards by count). The portfolio shows 507 total awards spanning prime and sub work since 1980, with activity accelerating recently: six awards in 2026 year-to-date, sixteen in 2025, ten in 2024. A recompete cliff of $48.2 million in combined potential value arrives within the next twenty-four months across ten awards.

AMA holds a $1.46 billion single-award IDIQ with NASA Langley Research Center (through May 31, 2028) for research, engineering, and science services across full technology readiness levels; an $88.9 million single-award ASSESS contract with NASA Ames (April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030); a $151 billion multiple-award SHIELD contract with the Missile Defense Agency (December 29, 2025, through December 28, 2035) for defense system development; positions on both OASIS+ Unrestricted (September 23, 2025, through September 22, 2030) and OASIS+ Total Small Business (April 15, 2025, through April 14, 2030) government-wide multiple-award IDIQs; and seats on the GSA Professional Services Schedule, which carries 663 task orders valued at $269.2 million. The AFRC Engineering and Technical Support Services 2019 IDIQ sustains eleven task orders worth $61.6 million.

AMA operates predominantly as a prime, with 97% of recent awards in that role. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (a partial view covering invoiced amounts above the $150,000 threshold), the company reported zero invoiced revenue in FY2022–FY2024, though FTE delivery scaled to 3.7 FTEs in FY2024 from 0.2 in FY2022, indicating effort allocation to classified work, products, or non-SCI-reportable vehicles. Named subcontractors on recent NASA Ames work include CFD Research Corporation (CAD development and CFD-ready geometry), Astrion Group (IT infrastructure), Neerim Corporation (thermal protection systems development and materials expertise), and McDonald Aerospace LLC (OpenVSP enhancements). On Armstrong delivery orders, Inqu, LLC (a service-disabled veteran and women-owned small business) provides safety and mission assurance personnel. AMA also subcontracts to Inuteq, LLC on NASA Advanced Computing Services task orders and to ASRC Federal System Solutions and Science Applications International Corporation on NASA-wide IT and program management support. The company acts as recipient on a $130,776 NASA grant for planetary science analysis of Saturn's 2010–2011 storm (June 2024, through June 2027) and as sub-recipient on a University of Michigan grant for universal modular nuclear power systems modeling (January 2025).

The portfolio anchors on aerospace engineering and research: engineering services (331 awards), space R&D support (57 awards), and program management (46 awards) dominate the NAICS and PSC distributions. The vendor's footprint extends across sixteen distinct federal agencies, but 56% of awards by count and 98% by potential value route through NASA, with Langley's single-award IDIQ and the Professional Services Schedule accounting for the plurality of recent work volume. This concentration—particularly the $2.39 billion Langley anchor and the three-year growth trajectory from four awards in 2022 to sixteen in 2025—reflects deep entrenchment in NASA's research and technology development infrastructure, positioning AMA as a preferred provider for sustained systems engineering and CFD support across multiple research centers.
