Ad-Tek Inc.

Ad-Tek Inc., doing business as Advanced Calibration Technologies, is a small business prime contractor based in Boring, Oregon, that provides laboratory equipment calibration, inspection, repair, and maintenance services to the Federal Highway Administration and other federal agencies. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint; it competes under full-and-open procurement, with recent awards split between total small-business set-asides and unrestricted competition.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on precision measurement and calibration services for transportation infrastructure testing equipment. Representative prime work includes a $144,789 purchase order (April 2022, ultimate completion April 2027) with FHWA for laboratory equipment inspection, calibration, standardization, and certification services performed in Vancouver, Washington; a $9,401.90 firm fixed-price purchase order (February 2026) with FHWA for annual calibration of laboratory presses, asphalt mixture performance testers, gyratory compactors, and associated molds at the Denver laboratory; and a $19,685.60 purchase order (April 2024) for a cylindrical specimen end grinder system supporting AASHTO and ASTM testing standards. Smaller task orders under FHWA blanket purchase agreements cover laboratory trailer calibrations, pressure aging vessels, commercial water distillers, and bench-top ovens across multiple states.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Federal Highway Administration accounts for 67 of 80 total awards (90% of the award count) with $2.9 million in combined potential value (95% of total program value). The Department of the Army Headquarters West Point Military Academy (2 awards, $47 thousand), the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development (1 award, $8 thousand), and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (1 award, $2 thousand) represent ancillary exposure. Activity has declined from five awards in 2022 to two in 2024 and three in 2025, with only two awards (combined potential value $154 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months.

Ad-Tek holds a new single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with FHWA (January 2026, ceiling $350,000, completion June 2031) for laboratory equipment inspection, calibration, and repair services. The vendor also holds two older blanket purchase agreements under which 26 and 11 task orders respectively have been placed, carrying combined potential value of $131 thousand and $130 thousand. Work is performed at multiple geographic locations, including dedicated FHWA test sites in Denver, Kalispell (Montana), Mills (Wyoming), El Portal (California), and Vancouver (Washington), as well as subordinate locations identified by project codes and trailer numbers across a nineteen-state region. The award portfolio spans testing laboratories and services (53 awards), electronic and precision equipment repair (7 awards), and laboratory instrument manufacturing (5 awards), with the majority coded under PSC Other QC/Test/Inspect—Miscellaneous.
