About the company
Sunpower, Inc., a subsidiary of Ametek Inc. headquartered in Athens, Ohio, manufactures Stirling cryocoolers, free-piston Stirling engines, and active vibration control systems, selling these specialized cryogenic cooling components to federal agencies as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards) on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations. The vendor is a for-profit manufacturer classified under NAICS 334519 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and multiple R&D and laboratory equipment codes, with a federal footprint dominated by NASA Glenn Research Center and purchase orders flowing through the NASA Shared Services Center.
Sunpower's customer concentration is extreme and NASA-anchored. NASA Glenn Research Center alone accounts for twenty awards worth $109.4 million in combined potential value — 96% of the vendor's total recent potential value of $114.1 million. An additional seventeen awards channel through the NASA Shared Services Center for $644 thousand combined potential value. The Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology round out active customers, but these are secondary by magnitude. Across distinct customer agencies served, Sunpower has worked with twenty-one federal agencies, yet concentration in NASA is decisive: the top two customers (Glenn and Shared Services Center) cover 56% of awards by count and 97% of combined potential value.
Sunpower's capability work centers on Stirling power conversion units, cryogenic coolers (CRYOTEL, CRYOTEL GT, and other product lines), and spare parts manufacturing. A $4.93 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded by NASA Glenn on August 18, 2023, covers Sunpower Robust Stirling Converter (SRSC) support and prototypes through February 2027, with a base period providing on-call support and six options defining continued technology maturation and prototype production; in FY2025, this contract invoiced $214 thousand across 3.3 FTEs with zero subcontractor engagement. A $649,522 purchase order from NASA Glenn for SRSC spare parts (awarded September 10, 2024) and a $127,864 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for disassembly, inspection, restoration, and modification of a 12 kW Stirling Power Conversion Unit (awarded September 27, 2024, with ultimate completion May 31, 2026) exemplify the sustained engineering and production work. Smaller sole-source purchase orders flow regularly for cryocooler procurement — a $44,714 order from the Shared Services Center for a cryocooler assembly (July 16, 2026), a $32,984 order for a cryocooler (July 8, 2026), and a $30,876 order from NIST for a 50K cryogen-free cryocooler (September 12, 2025) — all executed under FAR 12.102(a) commercial item procedures and sole-source justifications citing Sunpower as the sole qualified provider.
Activity has remained flat year over year — two awards in 2022, four in 2023, five in 2024, five in 2025, and six in 2026 to date — totaling 127 awards across the source data window with $99.6 million obligated against $114.1 million combined potential value (87% obligation rate). Only one award (combined potential value $4.9 million) carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Sunpower operates predominantly as a prime contractor, with only seven sub-awards (6% of total awards) identified across the source period, subcontracting to Raytheon Company for LANDIS flight instrument units and cryogenic cooler components (two sub awards in 2025), The Aerospace Corporation for LWIR cryocooler engineering services (August 2023), and Columbus Technologies and Services, Inc. for space systems engineering support (August 2026). Place of performance splits between Athens, Ohio (manufacturing and engineering) and Huntsville, Alabama (NASA Marshall-related work), with some work flowing to external testing and integration sites. The vendor self-performs substantially across its SCI-reportable service contracts; the $214 thousand in FY2025 SCI-reportable invoicing involved zero subcontractor hours, with all three point three FTEs delivered directly by Sunpower.
