About the company
Metcut Research Associates Inc. Rosslyn Division operates as a for-profit, privately held subchapter S corporation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, delivering specialized material testing and specimen fabrication services to federal defense and civilian agencies as a prime contractor (88% of recent awards) and subcontractor. The company competes in the full-and-open market without small business set-asides; no SBA certifications apply.
Metcut's capability portfolio centers on mechanical testing of metal alloys, composite materials, and specialty specimens following ASTM standards — tensile testing, creep testing, fatigue analysis, fracture toughness evaluation, and thermal spray coating assessment. Recent prime work includes a $7.5 million Naval Sea Systems Command Multiple Award BPA (awarded September 2025, performance through September 2030) for CNC machining and ASTM-compliant mechanical testing of six steel material types (10Ni, Fe-Mn, HSLA, HY, V-Aus, and 4340 steels) in support of submarine platform development including the Next Generation Attack Submarine (SSN(X)), COLUMBIA, and VIRGINIA classes, with individual order maximums capped at $750 thousand; a $118,594 Office of Naval Research purchase order (May 2026) for HY-100 specimen fatigue testing; a $79,784 Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex purchase order (August 2024) for thermal spray coating evaluation; and a $53,057 NASA Shared Services Center purchase order (August 2022) for machining and high-temperature tensile and creep testing of metal alloy specimens. The company holds NADCAP, ISO/IEC 17025:2017, or A2LA accreditations required for aerospace and defense material qualification work.
Customer concentration splits between defense (Navy and Air Force) and civil space. The Department of the Air Force leads by award count with 56 awards, followed by NASA Glenn Research Center (27 awards, $463 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Army (10 awards), and the Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command and Office of Naval Research (combined $7.9 million across 4 awards). The NAVSEA BPA anchors 87% of combined potential value; NASA Glenn and NAVSEA account for the majority of remaining dollars. Metcut sits on five Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contracts (F3361582C5078, F3361585C5072, F3365785C2281, F3361579C5152, and related vehicles) with 23 combined task orders, representing the vendor's largest vehicle footprint by order count.
Prime activity has accelerated in recent years — three awards in 2022 to twelve in 2025 (most recent prime award September 2026) — with only one award completing in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $50 thousand), indicating minimal recompete risk in that window. In its subcontractor role, Metcut supplies material testing and specimen fabrication to RTX Corporation on three F119 component improvement program awards (May 2026), to Northrop Grumman Systems Corp on five Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) Engineering and Manufacturing Development and Early Production and Deployment testing laboratory subawards (July–February 2025–2026), to Bell Textron on four Future Vertical Lift FLRAA manufacturing and testing services subawards (June 2025), and to The Boeing Company, Rolls-Royce North American Technologies, and the University of Dayton on Apache and rocket engine platform testing work. The subcontract work reflects Metcut's positioning within the aerospace and defense supply chain, where its testing capabilities support prime contractors on fighter engine development, missile systems, rotorcraft, and advanced propulsion platforms. Award data spans from 1980 to present, with 168 total awards (combined potential value $10.1 million, combined dollars obligated $13.8 million) across 17 customer agencies, indicating a stable, long-term federal testing services provider with deep qualification credentials in high-temperature metallurgical and materials characterization work.
