The contract was performed in Nashua, New Hampshire, where the vendor is headquartered. No small business set-aside designation was utilized for this award.

This purchase order represents a typical procurement from Pfeiffer Vacuum's federal contracting portfolio, which consists primarily of purchase orders for high-precision vacuum-related hardware and equipment. The company has established itself as a key supplier to multiple federal agencies, including NASA, the Department of Energy, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, delivering sophisticated vacuum technology components such as turbomolecular pumps and related laboratory equipment. The relatively modest contract value reflects the component-level nature of this specific procurement, consistent with Pfeiffer Vacuum's historical contract values ranging from approximately $900 to over $68,000.
