Armor Metal Group Mason, Inc.

Armor Metal Group Mason, Inc., doing business as Armormetal, is a Mason, Ohio–based small business manufacturer providing custom metal fabrication, specialized shipping and storage containers, and precision hardware components to the Department of Defense and related federal agencies, primarily as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards).

Armormetal competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside restrictions, though a material portion of its IDC and definitive contract work carries total small business set-aside designations. The company operates as a for-profit manufacturer with no SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic designations in the source. Its capability footprint centers on precision metal fabrication, shipping and storage container design and manufacture (particularly for rotorcraft and ground vehicles), and supply chain logistics—not professional services or IT. Representative prime work includes a $1.84 million total small business set-aside definitive contract with the Army Aviation and Missile Command (awarded August 2024) for spares and components supporting the AH-64E Apache New Build program; a $2.34 million sole-source definitive contract with Army Aviation and Missile Command (May 2024) for UH-60 BLACKHAWK shipping and storage containers under NSN 8145-01-302-1026; and a $1.62 million definitive contract with Naval Supply Systems Command (August 2023) for shipping and storage services.

Customer concentration is bifurcated by volume and dollars. By award count, the top customer is Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (87 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Aviation (48 awards, $101 thousand), and Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (22 awards, $5 million). These three account for roughly 75% of award count. By potential value, however, Naval Sea Systems Command dominates (3 awards, $28.9 million), followed tightly by Army Aviation and Missile Command (16 awards, $27.7 million), Department of the Treasury United States Mint (12 awards, $5.8 million), and Detroit Arsenal (22 awards, $5 million)—a shift driven by Armormetal's larger definitive contracts and IDCs with Navy and Army aviation programs. The source does not specify a single IDC vehicle as a primary ordering platform; Armormetal holds a $3.5 million single-award IDC with Army Aviation and Missile Command (expiring September 2029) for UH-60 BLACKHAWK shipping and storage containers, and smaller IDCs with DLA and other DoD customers.

Recent activity remains robust but flat year over year—13 awards in 2022 to 33 in 2024, declining slightly to 31 in 2025 and only 5 in the first quarter of 2026 (a partial-year figure). Combined potential value across all 258 recent awards totals $77.9 million, with $38.5 million obligated (49%). In the recompete window (next twenty-four months), two awards totaling $2.4 million in potential value reach ultimate completion, a moderate recompete exposure. Armormetal's award portfolio derives from 23 distinct customer agencies but is heavily concentrated in DoD logistics and supply organizations.

As a subcontractor, Armormetal supplies specialized containers and hardware components to Renk America LLC (multiple work directive awards for THOR III transmission system support and ancillary hardware, 2024–2025), BAE Systems Land & Armaments (M88 Family of Vehicles engineering and logistics support, 2024), and Am General LLC (Joint Light Tactical Vehicle kits and trailers, 2025). The sub footprint is smaller (16 of 258 awards, or 6%) and reflects Armormetal's primary posture as a specialized supplier to larger defense primes rather than a tier-1 systems integrator.

Work performance is consolidated at Armormetal's Mason, Ohio facility. The company's NAICS and PSC profile reinforces its manufacturing focus: top NAICS codes include Other Metal Container Manufacturing (95 awards) and Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing (22 awards); top PSC codes are Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers (134 awards) and Ammunition and Nuclear Ordnance Boxes, Packages and Special Containers (17 awards). Armormetal's established role as a critical supplier to Army aviation programs and Navy supply chains, combined with its precision manufacturing certification standards (the source references ISO 9001:2015 compliance and military-standard packaging), positions it as a nimble supplier for high-mix, lower-volume container and hardware procurement across DoD's rotorcraft and ground vehicle sustainment ecosystem.
