Purchase Order N0017317P0585

The Office of Naval Research awarded a $13,018.95 firm fixed price purchase order to Advanced Measurement Technology Inc. (doing business as Ametek) on December 28, 2016, for a DC corrosion system, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2017. The contract was executed without a set-aside designation on a full and open competitive basis. Advanced Measurement Technology Inc., headquartered in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is a subsidiary of Ametek Inc. and specializes in the design, manufacturing, and repair of high-precision radiation detection equipment and scientific instrumentation. The company maintains an extensive federal contract portfolio across defense and civilian agencies, including the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and the National Institutes of Health.

This purchase order represents a relatively modest procurement within Advanced Measurement Technology's broader contract portfolio, which has ranged from approximately $7,900 for specialized repairs to over $7.4 million for large-scale procurements. The corrosion system delivery supports the Office of Naval Research's mission in advancing naval science and technology capabilities. The Oak Ridge, Tennessee location of both performance and the contractor's headquarters provided operational efficiency for this relatively short-duration contract, which was completed within approximately one month of award.
