About the company
A.k.o. Inc., operating as Torque Specialties, manufactures precision torque calibration equipment and testing systems as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense, competing predominantly full-and-open (99% of recent awards carry no set-aside designation). The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Windsor, Connecticut, with primary capability in torque wrenches, torque transducers, calibration systems, and related measurement instruments spanning NAICS 334516 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring Industrial Process Variables) and PSC codes for physical properties testing and inspection.
The Navy dominates A.k.o. Inc.'s customer concentration. The top five Navy offices—Naval Supply Systems Command (46 awards, $5.8 million combined potential value), Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (26 awards, $5.4 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (41 awards, $910 thousand), Strategic Systems Programs (22 awards, $394 thousand), and Department of the Navy generically (23 awards, $9 thousand)—account for 66% of all awards by count and 90% of combined potential value. The Air Force Materiel Command ranks third in dollars (3 awards, $1.2 million combined potential value), driven primarily by a $977,765 definitive contract awarded July 31, 2024, for a torque multiplier calibration system and kit, and a $150,480 purchase order for low torque calibrators awarded September 19, 2024. The Army (7 awards, $526 thousand combined potential value) and Army National Guard constitute the remaining material customer base.
A.k.o. Inc. holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with Naval Supply Systems Command valued at $2,537,125 (March 6, 2023 through March 4, 2028), requiring annual delivery of 125 units of National Stock Number 7ZH 6635-01-560-9338 torque testers. Multiple delivery orders have been issued against this IDC—a $432,080 order (awarded February 20, 2025), $209,220 orders (awarded January 29, 2024 and December 15, 2023), and $380,400 order (awarded May 17, 2023)—alongside smaller orders ranging from $19,640 to $20,275 issued throughout 2024, 2025, and 2026. Beyond this anchor vehicle, A.k.o. Inc. operates under Naval Air Warfare Center, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Air Force IDCs. Recent representative prime awards include the $977,765 Air Force Materiel Command torque multiplier system, a $143,425 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order for a hydraulic wrench test and calibration system (awarded July 8, 2024), and a $132,425 Naval Air Warfare Center purchase order for a torque and force calibration system in support of the MH-60R multi-mission helicopter (awarded December 23, 2024).
Activity has contracted in recent years—12 awards in 2023, declining to 8 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 to date. The recompete cliff is minimal: only one award ($150 thousand combined potential value) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months. In its subcontractor capacity, A.k.o. Inc. has performed work as a supplier of torque testing systems under Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (awarded June 11, 2024) and Defense Systems and Solutions (awarded December 15, 2021). The vendor competes exclusively as a prime contractor in the full-and-open market for specialized torque measurement and calibration equipment, with no SBA set-aside posture across its recent Navy-centric portfolio.
