AZ Technology Inc.

AZ Technology Inc., a woman-owned and veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Huntsville, Alabama, supplies specialized scientific instrumentation and coating services to NASA and federal research agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside vehicles. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business structured as a Subchapter S corporation and operates across analytical instrument manufacturing (NAICS 334514) and optical instrument and lens manufacturing.

AZ Technology's capability footprint centers on precision measurement equipment and advanced surface treatments for aerospace and scientific research. Representative recent prime work includes a $81 thousand sole-source purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center (April 2026) for AZ Technology TE/SA 2000 equipment, a $77.35 thousand sole-source award for a Tessa Instrument supporting NASA's Lunar Outpost Lunar Terrain Vehicle project (April 2025), and a $13.25 thousand purchase order for AZ-93 coating application to government-provided samples (September 2025). Historical awards span portable spectroreflectometers ($99.5 thousand, August 2022), SpectraFire IR reflectometers ($95.9 thousand, July 2022), LPSR300 portable spectral reflectometers ($100 thousand, May 2022), and solar instruments ($82.69 thousand, February 2022). The company's cumulative prime federal contract portfolio exceeds $23.9 million in combined potential value across 152 awards documented from 1991 to present, with $18.7 million obligated.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward NASA and its centers. The top five customer entities account for 73% of award count, with NASA dominating across 79 awards ($370 thousand combined potential value), NASA's Shared Services Center placing 12 awards ($855 thousand), NASA Marshall Space Flight Center adding 6 awards ($519 thousand), the Department of the Air Force at 10 awards, and the Department of the Army at 4 awards. Across 18 distinct customer agencies, NASA-related entities represent the preponderance of both volume and dollars. Recent activity shows one award in 2024, three in 2025, and one year-to-date in 2026; the recompete cliff is minimal, with only one award ($81 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

AZ Technology sits on three GSA Federal Supply Schedules (GS00F0085M with 3 task orders totaling $116 thousand, GS07F5719P with 3 task orders totaling $60 thousand, and GS07F5716P with 2 task orders totaling $126 thousand) and participates in the Rapid Spacecraft Acquisition IV vehicle. Subcontract exposure is negligible—only two sub-awards in the source data, one with Southwest Research Institute (May 2025) for material coating under a satellite development and launch-support prime, and one (August 2024) for a portable solar absorption instrument under JSC Engineering and Exploration Integration directorates. Award mechanisms are exclusively firm fixed-price purchase orders, reflecting the transactional, supplies-and-services nature of the work.
