Uster Technologies, Inc. has been awarded a $157.8K firm fixed-price purchase order by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service Cotton and Tobacco Program for first quarter fiscal year 2026 maintenance services on 2018 high-volume instrument (HVI) machines. The contract, awarded December 23, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026, was not set aside for small businesses. The work will be performed in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Uster Technologies maintains its primary operations as a global provider of sophisticated textile testing and quality control equipment.

This maintenance award represents continued support for the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service's cotton and tobacco quality assessment operations. Uster Technologies, a foreign-owned manufacturer specializing in fiber analysis systems, has established itself as the primary vendor for HVI equipment and maintenance services through multiple indefinite delivery contracts with the agency. The current purchase order falls under the company's broader contracting relationships with AMS, which include significant vehicle contracts valued up to $50 million for cotton quality monitoring equipment and related maintenance services that enable the agency to streamline acquisition of customized HVI systems and support its cotton and tobacco grading programs.
