About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service Cotton and Tobacco Program awarded a delivery order to Uster Technologies, Inc. for the purchase of 10 High-Volume Instrument (HVI) machines with automatic capabilities, valued at $3.26M with a firm fixed-price structure. The award, issued on March 24, 2026, represents a total small business set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2026, with performance taking place in Knoxville, Tennessee. Uster Technologies, a foreign-owned textile testing equipment manufacturer headquartered in Knoxville, serves as the primary federal supplier of specialized cotton and tobacco quality assessment instrumentation and has established a substantial contract portfolio with the USDA focused on equipment procurement and maintenance services.
This delivery order is issued under one of four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts held by Uster Technologies with the Agricultural Marketing Service, specifically the largest IDC awarded March 5, 2025, which carries a $50M ceiling value through February 28, 2030 and is designated as a total small business set-aside for cotton high-volume instruments and related maintenance services. The recurring issuance of such delivery orders underscores the critical role Uster Technologies plays as the incumbent supplier of HVI machines essential to the federal government's cotton and tobacco grading and quality monitoring operations, with bulk purchases typically ranging from 10 to 20 machines per order.
