The Product Service Code (PSC) 4470, categorized as Nuclear Reactors, encompasses specialized components, equipment, and materials critical to nuclear reactor systems and related applications. These products typically include precision-engineered mechanical and electrical components, specialized tools, safety equipment, filtration systems, and diagnostic instruments designed for use in nuclear propulsion, research, and power generation environments. The items are predominantly used by naval, defense, and scientific research organizations to support complex nuclear technology infrastructure.

The federal contract awards in this PSC category consistently demonstrate a focus on small business suppliers providing highly specialized components for naval and nuclear applications. Awards range from $2,000 to $480,942, with most contracts being firm fixed-price purchase orders issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP). Frequently awarded entities include small businesses like Adirondack Electronics, Frham Safety Products, Painter Tool Inc., and General Nuclear Corp. These companies specialize in manufacturing precise components such as seals, filters, protective equipment, cable assemblies, and valve-related parts. The majority of awards are set aside for small businesses, with total small business set-asides being particularly common, and performance locations predominantly in Pennsylvania and California.

Recent federal contract opportunities within PSC 4470 primarily seek nuclear reactor-related components and materials, with solicitations issued by the Department of the Navy and Department of Energy. These opportunities request items like specialized seals, test assemblies, tape, valves, protective equipment, and electronic components. Many opportunities involve complex technical requirements, mandatory technical documentation review, and stringent quality assurance standards. The solicitations frequently specify technical data package compliance, cleanliness control requirements, and prohibitions on mercury-containing compounds. Most opportunities are targeted at small businesses and require detailed pre-manufacturing submittals, with delivery locations typically including naval distribution centers in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and Tracy, California.
