Golden Altos Corporation

Golden Altos Corporation, a for-profit semiconductor and microelectronics manufacturer based in Fremont, California, supplies military-grade integrated circuits, monolithic and hybrid assembly services, and aerospace-qualified microcircuit components to defense agencies as both a prime contractor (45% of recent awards) and subcontractor (55%) on development and production programs. The company operates in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint.

Golden Altos' customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Defense Microelectronics Activity, which accounts for 11 of the vendor's 31 total awards and $2.6 million in combined potential value across recent purchase orders for LVDT integrated circuit production, re-spin work, and testing. The vendor's secondary customer tier includes NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (8 awards), the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (5 awards), and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (2 awards), collectively accounting for 87% of awards. The top-customer rankings by count and by dollars align closely, with DMEA dominating both volume and value. Recent prime work includes a $227,671 firm fixed-price purchase order from DMEA awarded February 2, 2026, for LVDT IC re-spin with performance in Fremont and completion by June 1, 2026; a $50,532 purchase order from DMEA in June 2022 for LVDT IC production and testing; and an $11,383 commercial assembly process order from Air Mobility Command in December 2021.

Golden Altos places significant subcontract work under four primary vehicle IDCs: 80MSFC20D0004 (the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Aerospace Research, Development and Engineering Support II contract, with 8 task orders for flight-part qualification, screening, testing, and assembly under Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory as prime); SPE7MX24D0030 and SPE7MX19D0025 (with combined 5 task orders); and H9400307A0071 (2 task orders, $183 thousand). The vendor subcontracts to SRI International on multiple contract, procurement, and assembly-packaging engagements (6 sub awards in the past two years), to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory on the Dragonfly Extended Phase B mission (7 sub awards for flight parts and testing), to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on neuromorphic-sensor development (2 sub awards for electronic component manufacturing), to Raytheon Company on F-15EX radar ASICs, and to The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory for program technical support.

Activity accelerated sharply in 2024 with 12 awards, after a dormant 2022–2023 period. Awards per year then declined to 4 in 2025 and 1 so far in 2026. NAICS concentration runs to research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences (10 awards), semiconductor and related device manufacturing (4 awards), and other electronic component manufacturing (3 awards), with top PSC coding in microcircuits and specialized semiconductor manufacturing. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on military-grade and aerospace-qualified IC packaging, wafer assembly, LVDT and ASIC microcircuit design and manufacturing, burn-in and qualification testing, and turnkey hybrid assembly services for defense-industrial primes and federal R&D programs.
