About the company
Acoustic Research Systems, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, provides acoustic testing and engineering services to federal agencies as both a prime contractor (50% of recent awards) and a subcontractor. The vendor operates on a small scale — six total awards since 2022 with combined potential value of $2.3 million — and competes full-and-open rather than under set-aside vehicles; the source designates no set-aside categories across the prime footprint.
Acoustic Research Systems' customer base concentrates narrowly on aerospace and defense programs. Three federal agencies account for 100% of recent awards: NASA Johnson Space Center (four awards, $390 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research (one award, $1.9 million), and the Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command (one award, $38 thousand). The Office of Naval Research dominates by dollar magnitude despite a single award, reflecting the vendor's $1.85 million definitive contract for a turnkey system completed in August 2024. Prime work spans acoustic testing and system delivery; representative examples include a $389,540 purchase order from NASA Johnson Space Center for acoustic testing services on the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) flight unit (awarded January 2022, completed December 2024), and the $1.85 million Office of Naval Research turnkey system contract (September 2023 through August 2024, performed in Shepherdstown). A $38,000 firm fixed price maintenance contract with Naval Supply Systems Command for one year of SLA ARS maintenance services (Tier 2 Standard) began June 2026 and runs through June 2027.
Award activity remains sparse and flat — one award per year in 2022 and 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only the $38,000 Naval Supply Systems Command maintenance order completing inside the next twenty-four months. In its subcontractor capacity, Acoustic Research Systems delivers direct field acoustic testing to NASA Johnson Space Center on three sub awards dated February 2025, December 2024, and July 2024 under engineering and scientific services contracts. The vendor's work concentrates in research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences (three awards) and testing laboratory services (two awards), with aerospace and exploration missions as the dominant customer mission set.
