Oerlikon Metco US Inc.

Oerlikon Metco US Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of thermal spray powders, plasma spray systems, and metal finishing equipment, operates as a prime contractor (98% of awards) serving the Department of Defense and civilian agencies on a full and open competitive basis with no SBA set-asides. Headquartered in Westbury, New York, the company has held federal registration since July 2007 and competes across specialized NAICS categories anchored by Powder Metallurgy Part Manufacturing (150 awards) and Welding and Soldering Equipment Manufacturing (131 awards), with PSC concentration in miscellaneous welding supplies and metal finishing equipment (291 awards combined).

Oerlikon Metco's federal footprint centers on aircraft engine depot maintenance and thermal spray system sustainment. Representative prime work includes a $7.1 million August 2025 purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for thermal spray booth services in Oklahoma City; a $3.75 million September 2023 definitive contract from Army TACOM for a Surface One K2 Robotic Plasma Spray System for Anniston Army Depot; a $3.35 million November 2025 DLA Aviation purchase order for two complete thermal spray systems with dust collectors and installation at Westbury; a $1.73 million August 2025 Air Force order for High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) spray booth equipment at Tinker Air Force Base; and a $510 thousand May 2025 Air Force award for plasma booth and HVOF system maintenance services through April 2030. A $2 million single-award BPA with the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex through October 2028 anchors recurring thermal spray powder deliveries, and a $5.99 million single-award IDC with the same customer (through March 2023) supplies plasma guns, hopper parts, and system components. Recent smaller-value work includes specialized thermal spray powders, metal spray booth repairs, and sole-source maintenance on government-owned plasma spray booths at Fleet Readiness Centers.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense sustainment organizations. The top five funding agencies account for 64% of recent awards by count and 80% by combined potential value. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads dollars with 56 awards valued at $33.5 million, followed by the Air Force Materiel Command Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex with 64 awards and $25 million combined value. The Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal placed 83 awards worth $6.2 million, the Air Force Sustainment Center issued 33 awards for $5.4 million, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment placed 130 awards for $4 million. This skew toward logistics and sustainment — rather than development or sustainment support — reflects Oerlikon Metco's positioning as an equipment and consumables supplier rather than a service integrator.

Oerlikon Metco places task orders against five named parent vehicles: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPM49001DV001) with 23 task orders valued at $825 thousand; a Blanket Purchase Agreement (FA813218A0008) with 22 task orders and $2.7 million combined value; a BPA (FA813223A0016) with 11 task orders and $1.6 million value; another BPA (SPM4A812A0006) with 11 task orders valued at $127 thousand; and an IDC (SP330022D5001) with 7 task orders. Beyond these, the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation place orders against direct single-award contracts rather than shared vehicles.

Award activity averaged 11 per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with a recent uptick to 17 awards in 2024 and a slower pace in early 2026 (3 awards through late March). The vendor faces a recompete cliff of $16.6 million across 10 awards completing in the next twenty-four months, representing material exposure in the thermal spray booth and plasma system maintenance categories. Total federal footprint across all 569 awards (prime and sub) carries combined potential value of $92.1 million, with $70.8 million obligated as of the source date.

Oerlikon Metco holds two sub-award relationships, both routed through Amentum Services Inc., involving hazardous materials management and welding powder supply at DLA Cherry Point, North Carolina. A University of Dayton sub-award for advanced manufacturing services and an EPSE III Robotics and Lasers engineering support sub complete the identified sub portfolio. The preponderance of work remains prime-positioned, reflecting Oerlikon Metco's status as a specialized equipment and materials supplier rather than a systems integrator or teaming partner.
