Applied Energy Corporation

Applied Energy Corporation, doing business as Applied Energy Corp, supplies precision mechanical and standardized components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor competing full-and-open (no set-aside designation) through firm fixed-price purchase orders. The Colorado Springs–based for-profit Subchapter S corporation operates exclusively as a prime, with zero subcontract footprint across a portfolio of 32 federal awards spanning from 2001 to present.

Applied Energy Corp's capability portfolio centers on precision parts manufacturing: hexagon nuts, piston rings, exhaust manifolds, bushing sleeves, and other defense-specification mechanical components. Representative recent awards include a $6,636 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division for an exhaust manifold (October 2025, completion February 2026), a $3,158 purchase order from DLA Aviation for a bushing sleeve (November 2025, completion December 2025), and a $5,391.25 purchase order from DLA Aviation for hexagon nuts (April 2025, completion July 2025). Work is performed at the Colorado Springs facility.

Customer concentration is narrow and dominated by Defense Logistics Agency divisions. The top five customer entities account for 94% of awards by count and 98% of combined potential value. DLA Land and Maritime anchors the portfolio at 18 awards ($61 thousand combined potential value), followed by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (3 awards, $31 thousand), DLA Aviation (5 awards, $22 thousand), the Department of the Air Force Space Command (1 award, $5 thousand), and a residual DLA category (3 awards). The concentration across DLA divisions reflects Applied Energy Corp's narrow specialization in standardized military components rather than diversification across civilian or other defense agencies.

Activity has remained sparse over the past five years — one award in 2019, one in 2021, one in 2022, one in 2024, and four in 2025 — reflecting episodic component demand rather than sustained contract volume. The portfolio's combined potential value across all thirty-two awards totals $122 thousand, though combined dollars obligated ($242 thousand) exceed potential value by 98%, indicating that invoiced and completed work has outpaced ceiling valuations. Two awards reach completion within the next twenty-four months: the bushing sleeve (December 2025) and exhaust manifold (February 2026) orders, totaling $9,794 in recompete exposure. Applied Energy Corp competes in power and hand pumps (4 awards), diesel engines and components (3 awards), nuts and washers (3 awards), and related sub-million-dollar mechanical component categories under NAICS codes spanning engine equipment, bolt-and-nut, and measuring-device manufacturing.
