Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc.

Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc. operates as a small-business prime contractor (97% of recent awards) delivering aerospace systems engineering, computational fluid dynamics analysis, thermal protection systems development, and research support services to NASA and federal defense agencies. Headquartered in Hampton, Virginia, the company competes under Total Small Business set-asides across most of its prime work, with recent awards split between set-aside and full-and-open designations.

NASA Langley Research Center dominates customer concentration, accounting for 190 awards with $2.39 billion in combined potential value—roughly 76% of the company's total federal award portfolio. The top five customer agencies cover 98% of combined potential value: Langley is anchored by a $1.46 billion single-award IDIQ (ultimate completion May 31, 2028) providing research, engineering, and science services across full technology readiness levels; NASA Ames Research Center (16 awards, $334.2 million) places work through a single-award Aircraft and Spaceflight Systems Engineering Support Services (ASSESS) contract valued at $88.9 million (ultimate completion March 31, 2030); and Armstrong Flight Research Center (14 awards, $328.3 million) orders through the AFRC Engineering and Technical Support Services 2019 IDIQ. Recent representative prime work includes a $5.1 million Total Small Business delivery order from Langley (September 2026, ultimate completion December 31, 2028) for design, analysis, and manufacturing of hot structures for hypersonic vehicles; a $12.8 million Ames delivery order (April 2026, ultimate completion March 31, 2027) for thermal protection systems and Entry Systems Technology Division projects with subcontractor support from Astrion Group, Neerim Corporation, and others; and a $3.6 million Ames aeronautics project support order (April 2025, ultimate completion March 31, 2026) with CFD Research Corporation and Hidden Level Inc. as named subs on airspace surveillance and drone-detection work.

Activity has grown from four awards in 2022 to sixteen in 2025, with nine awards in 2026 year-to-date. Twelve awards (combined potential value $54.1 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity. The company holds positions on OASIS+ Unrestricted (awarded September 23, 2025, no ceiling limit specified, ultimate completion September 22, 2030), OASIS+ Total Small Business (awarded April 15, 2025, no ceiling limit specified, ultimate completion April 14, 2030), and the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency (awarded December 29, 2025, $151 billion ceiling, ultimate completion December 28, 2035), enabling task-order issuance across the federal government. The company also holds GSA's Professional Services Schedule with 663 task orders totaling $269.2 million in combined potential value.

In subcontractor posture, Analytical Mechanics Associates operates predominantly as a prime, with subcontracting accounting for an average of 5% of contractor hours across SCI-reportable prime contracts and 24 named subcontractors reported. Named subs include CFD Research Corporation (CAD development, CFD-ready geometry), Advanced Rotorcraft Technology, Inc. (aeromechanics and structural dynamics), Neerim Corporation (thermal protection systems and materials), Astrion Group (IT infrastructure), and Hidden Level Inc. (airspace monitoring and drone detection). In its rare subcontractor role (3% of awards), the company subcontracts to Inuteq, LLC on NASA Advanced Computing Services technical support (two awards, January and November 2025), ASRC Federal System Solutions on program analysis and control (three awards, December 2023 through January 2025), and Science Applications International Corporation on NASA applications and platform services (April 2024).

SCI-reported invoiced labor of $24.9 million in FY2025 across 142 FTEs on reportable service contracts above the $150,000 threshold reflects partial visibility into the company's federal services activity. On those contracts, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $102 per hour to a median of $116.71 per hour and a 90th percentile of $127.07 per hour, indicating a mix of technical labor and program management staffing. SCI captures only service contracts above the reporting threshold and excludes products, goods, micro-purchases, and classified work; the $24.9 million represents a strict subset of the vendor's total federal revenue and enterprise revenue.

Analytical Mechanics Associates' capability portfolio centers on aeronautics systems analysis, computational aerosciences, thermal protection systems engineering, rotorcraft and vertical-lift technology development, unmanned traffic management coordination, entry-descent-and-landing analysis for exploration platforms, and program management support across NASA's research and development mission. The company's concentration with Langley, Ames, and Armstrong reflects deep specialization in NASA's core aeronautics and space-exploration engineering domains rather than broad federal customer reach.
