Acuren Inspection, Inc.

Acuren Inspection, Inc., doing business as Acuren Pipeline Inspection, is a for-profit specialized inspection and nondestructive testing services provider operating as a subsidiary of parent company Tic Solutions, Inc. Acuren competes primarily as a prime contractor (86% of recent awards) across open-market procurements with no set-aside designations, delivering non-destructive inspection training, metallurgical analysis, welding inspection, and technical diagnostics to federal agencies across civilian, defense, and transportation sectors.

Acuren's capability portfolio centers on three core service lines: nondestructive inspection (NDI) training delivered to Coast Guard and Navy personnel; metallurgical and materials testing, including magnetic particle inspection and API 653 tank inspection certification training; and specialized technical investigations such as economizer tube failure analysis and underground piping system refurbishment. Representative recent work includes an $8.4 million Other Transaction Agreement awarded by the U.S. Air Force on June 1, 2026, to refurbish a 600-foot underground raw water drain line at Arnold Air Force Base in Tennessee (completion February 10, 2027); a $94,211 purchase order from GSA's National Capital Region (August 25, 2025) for a technical study analyzing economizer tube failures at the Central Heating and Refrigeration Plant in Washington, DC (completion February 27, 2026); and recurring $36,000–$74,160 delivery orders from the U.S. Coast Guard for NDI training classes conducted in Houston, Texas, issued against a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued up to $438,480 through March 2025.

Customer concentration is dominated by the U.S. Coast Guard, which accounts for 15 awards (26% of recent work) valued at $903 thousand combined potential value, but this ranking masks extreme dollar concentration at the Air Force. The Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service anchors 97% of Acuren's combined potential value through a single $8.4 million OTA award completing in the next twenty-four months — a major recompete exposure. The Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (4 awards, $455 thousand), NASA Shared Services Center (9 awards, $123 thousand), and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (3 awards, $48 thousand) round out the active customer base. Twenty-one distinct federal agencies have placed awards, but the top five account for 60% of all awards and represent a skewed portfolio where one very large defense infrastructure project dwarfs the remainder.

Acuren operates two named parent vehicles: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (70Z03821DE0000001) with 8 task orders valued at $401 thousand, and a Basic Ordering Agreement (DAAC7986D0047) with 2 task orders. The vendor's award trajectory has been sparse and episodic — three awards in each of 2022 and 2023, nine in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting the project-driven, non-recurring nature of specialized inspection and testing work. In its subcontractor role, Acuren performs hoist wire rope and pin inspections on the Department of Energy's Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) operations and maintenance contract, supplies welding and testing inspection services to Nova Group, Inc. on a Billy Mitchell Air National Guard Base hydrant fueling system project, and delivers services under ASRC Communications and BAE Systems primes on Air Force and Army vehicle programs. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Acuren reported zero invoiced revenue in FY2022–FY2024 and minimal FTE presence, indicating that the vendor's work is predominantly structured as firm-fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold or operates in specialized domains (such as the OTA mechanism) outside standard SCI capture. The vendor holds a SAM.gov registration dating to 2009 and competes without SBA set-aside certifications across all recent awards.
