Powder Alloy Corporation

Powder Alloy Corp, a Loveland, Ohio–based manufacturer of metal, ceramic, and carbide powders, operates as a prime contractor across 280 federal awards over the past several years, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with selective small-business set-aside participation. The company is a Subchapter S corporation registered in SAM.gov since 2001 and is classified under primary NAICS codes for powder metallurgy part manufacturing and secondary smelting and alloying of nonferrous metals.

Powder Alloy's capability portfolio centers on specialized advanced powders for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. Representative work includes a $75 thousand sole-source purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center awarded June 25, 2026, for ORCAlloy-21 atomized and coated nickel-based powder (1,000 pounds minimum, L-PBF particle size, nano-scale yttria oxide coating) for delivery to NASA Marshall Space Flight Center by October 2, 2026; a $207.9 thousand small-business set-aside from NASA for 900 kilograms of GRCop42 additive manufacturing powder awarded September 17, 2021; and a $410.5 thousand purchase order from the Air Force Sustainment Center for thermal spray powders awarded August 18, 2023. The vendor also supplies welding powders (NSN 3439014777033) to the Defense Logistics Agency in recurring purchase orders ranging from $6.3 thousand to $187 thousand each, and manufactures specialized oxide dispersion–strengthened alloy powders such as GRX-810 for Army advanced manufacturing research.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to defense and aerospace. The top five funding entities account for 87 percent of combined potential value, led by the Air Force Materiel Command's Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex (32 awards, $10.3 million), the Air Force Sustainment Center (42 awards, $4.8 million), and Air Force Materiel Command broadly (22 awards, $4.7 million), followed by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (90 awards, $3.4 million) and NASA Shared Services Center (19 awards, $1.6 million). The split between top customers by award count and by potential value reflects the Air Logistics Complex's dominance in dollar magnitude despite DLA's much higher volume — DLA places frequent small purchase orders while the Air Force concentration anchors the largest single vehicle.

Powder Alloy holds a $2 million single-award blanket purchase agreement with the Air Force Materiel Command's Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex running through October 2028, under which 32 awards (representing $10.3 million in combined potential value) have been placed as BPA calls. This vehicle is the vendor's primary strategic asset and the source of highest-value work. The vendor also places recurring purchase orders under five other indefinite delivery contracts and BPAs, including blanket purchase agreements FA813218A0005 and FA813223A0020 with the Air Force (13 task orders each, combined $2.5 million), and DLA's Indefinite Delivery Contract SP049001DV002 (12 task orders). Performance occurs entirely at Powder Alloy's Loveland, Ohio manufacturing facility.

Award activity has moderated: four awards in 2022, rising to ten in 2023 and thirteen in 2024, declining to eleven in 2025, with only two awards recorded in 2026 to date. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — only one award (the June 2026 NASA purchase order, $75 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within that window. The vendor's recent work portfolio is characterized by firm-fixed-price purchase orders and BPA calls for standard powder specifications; recent awards split between full-and-open and small-business set-aside designations, with set-asides concentrated among NASA and Army awards while DLA and Air Force Materiel Command awards predominantly use full-and-open competition.
