Advanced Measurement Technology Inc.

Advanced Measurement Technology Inc., doing business as Ametek, is a manufacturer of specialized radiation detection equipment, precision scientific instrumentation, and analytical laboratory devices that operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) to federal defense, energy, and civilian agencies on a full-and-open competitive basis without set-aside designations. The company is a subsidiary of Ametek Inc., a global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices headquartered in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, with manufacturing and service operations in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

The vendor's customer concentration is dominated by energy and defense agencies anchored by massive multi-year obligations. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command accounts for 29 awards carrying $8.28 billion in combined potential value—98% of the vendor's total combined potential-value footprint—reflecting a single customer's strategic dependence on Ametek's radiation detection capabilities. By award count, the top five customers (NIST, Office of Naval Research, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Army RDC) account for 33% of awards; the same group by dollar value represents the vast majority of the portfolio. This concentration pattern signals deep specialization: Ametek delivers high-purity germanium gamma and neutron detectors, integrated cryo-cooling systems, digital signal processing spectrometers, electrochemical measurement workstations, and repair and maintenance services for deployed radiation detection equipment across DoD stockpile stewardship, Army research, Navy information warfare systems, and DOE nuclear energy missions.

Recent prime contract work includes a $7.5 million sole-source purchase order from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (August 2025) for the Detective-X-8-N portable radiation identifier system with HPGe detectors and lithium-ion batteries; a $581,396 definitive contract with an unnamed civilian agency headquarters division (July 2023) for three-year repair and maintenance of deployed Ametek gamma detectors; a $928,465 Air Force Space Command delivery order (September 2022) for integrated cryo-cooling system conversion; and a $885,803 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintenance agreement running through July 2027. The vendor also holds a $4.95 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (September 2025 through March 2031) authorizing task orders for commodities and repair services on radiation detection equipment and automated ground filter units. Activity has remained steady—four to nineteen awards per year across 2022–2025—with only four awards ($1.7 million combined potential value) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.

Ametek holds parent vehicle positions on five Air Force and Department of Homeland Security IDCs carrying between eight and thirteen task orders each, including IDC FA830718D0002 (13 task orders, $4.6 million combined potential value) and HSHQDC12D00080 (9 task orders, $7.3 million combined potential value). The vendor serves 102 distinct federal agencies across a portfolio of 906 prime and sub awards totaling $8.45 billion in combined potential value. Subcontracting activity is minimal: the vendor operates primarily as a prime, with 98% of awards in that posture and only 15 sub-awards on record, predominantly under energy and defense M&O contractors including Triad National Security (Los Alamos National Laboratory), Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies (National Security Campus), Fluor Marine Propulsion (Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program), and Hanford Laboratory Management and Integration.

Primary NAICS specialization centers on Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (346 awards) and Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (213 awards). SCI-reported service-contract invoicing is minimal ($44 thousand in FY2024 against three total SCI records), reflecting the vendor's primary business model of equipment manufacturing and repair services rather than labor-hour consulting—a posture that excludes most Ametek activity from Service Contract Inventory reporting.
