About the company
Meld Manufacturing Corporation, a woman-owned small business subsidiary of Aeroprobe Corporation, supplies advanced metal additive manufacturing and friction stir welding technologies to the Department of Defense and federal research agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open awards and specialized IDIQ vehicles (79% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on defense manufacturing programs.
Based in Christiansburg, Virginia, Meld Manufacturing is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and SBA-certified woman-owned small business specializing in solid-state additive friction stir deposition (AFSD), metal additive manufacturing, coating, repair, and joining processes. The vendor's parent, Aeroprobe Corporation, manufactures air data and flow measurement systems for aerospace and defense applications. Meld Manufacturing competes across full-and-open contract vehicles without set-aside restrictions, positioning itself on larger enterprise-wide platforms where small-business posture qualifies it for preferential ordering.
Customer concentration tilts heavily toward Air Force work. The Department of the Air Force accounts for three awards and $979.7 million in combined potential value (99% of Meld's potential-value base), anchored by a $975 million Rapid Sustainment Office Multi-Award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded July 30, 2024, running through July 29, 2033. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center holds three awards worth $3.6 million combined, including a $4.66 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract awarded August 28, 2023, for additive friction stir deposition research, repair, and material characterization under the Rapid Sustainment Office MELD K2 material development SBIR Phase III program, and a $89,393 purchase order for meld rail repair awarded September 9, 2021, on a sole-source basis. The Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research awarded a $1.92 million definitive contract November 22, 2021, to qualify the Meld process in aluminum 7050 in support of naval operations.
Beyond prime vehicles, Meld Manufacturing holds a $2.44 million Other Transaction Agreement with the Army Engineer Research and Development Center (August 4, 2023) for advanced metal manufacturing research and development. The vendor recently entered the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ on December 29, 2025—a multiple-award $151 billion vehicle with the Missile Defense Agency running through December 28, 2035—though with an initial $500 delivery order. Recent activity shows four awards in 2024 and three in 2025, with combined potential value totaling $987.2 million against $11.4 million obligated to date. Eleven awards totaling $987.1 million face recompete or completion within the next twenty-four months, creating significant pipeline vulnerability concentrated on the Air Force Rapid Sustainment contract.
In its subcontractor role, Meld Manufacturing supplies metal additive manufacturing and metal additive manufacturing machine tools to Booz Allen Hamilton on ground system technology and laboratory development work for the Army (September 3, 2025), provides next-generation additively manufactured exhaust control duct technology to Aerojet Rocketdyne for hypersonic vehicle applications (February 27, 2024), supplies 3D-printed aluminum 7075-T73 substrates to Lockheed Martin on incentive-payment work (January 30, 2024), and delivers robotics and laser supplies under EPSE III contracts (May 10, 2022).
