The Office of Naval Research awarded a $10,176.71 firm fixed-price purchase order to Newport Corp on July 1, 2014, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2014. Newport, a leading manufacturer of precision optical, laser, motion control, and vibration isolation systems based in Irvine, California, was selected without a set-aside designation.

The company has received multiple prime contracts from the National Institutes of Health, Naval Research Laboratory, Air Force Research Laboratory, Army Research Laboratory, and NASA for equipment including femtosecond laser systems, optical tables, and tunable lasers, along with associated maintenance and service agreements. As a subsidiary of MKS Instruments Inc. and a large business competitor, Newport regularly fulfills both direct equipment procurement and aftermarket support requirements across the federal research and defense sectors.
