Advanced Measurement Technology Inc.

Advanced Measurement Technology Inc., doing business as Ametek, is a manufacturer of specialized radiation detection equipment, analytical laboratory instruments, and electrochemical measurement systems that operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) on full-and-open federal procurements with no set-aside designations. A subsidiary of Ametek Inc., headquartered in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, Advanced Measurement Technology is based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and competes across NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and related instrument-manufacturing categories without relying on small business set-asides.

The vendor's federal capability footprint centers on high-purity germanium (HPGe) radiation detectors, gamma-ray and neutron identification systems (Detective X and related lines), integrated cryocooling systems, electrochemical potentiostats and impedance spectroscopy equipment, detector repair and calibration services, and associated laboratory instrumentation. Representative prime work includes a $7.49 million sole-source purchase order from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (August 2025) for Detective-X-8-N gamma and neutron identifiers with lithium-ion batteries and dual chargers; a $7.22 million purchase order from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (August 2023) for portable high-efficiency HPG3 identifiers; a $928 thousand delivery order from Air Force Space Command (September 2022) for integrated cryo-cooling system conversion; and a $885 thousand maintenance agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (July 2022) for repair and maintenance of deployed radiation detection equipment running through July 2027. Equipment sales and repair dominate the prime award portfolio; service contract activity captured in the Service Contract Inventory (SCI) dataset is minimal, with only $44 thousand in invoiced labor reported in FY2024 across maintenance and support services.

Customer concentration reflects broad federal reach with significant concentration in defense and civilian science agencies. The top five customer agencies account for 98% of combined potential value, anchored by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (29 awards, $8.28 billion combined potential value), the Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations (14 awards, $13 million), and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center (61 awards, $10.4 million). By award count, the National Institute of Standards and Technology leads with 103 awards ($3.8 million combined potential value), followed by the Office of Naval Research (73 awards, $6 million), reflecting consistent demand for specialized measurement and detection instrumentation across civilian research and defense communities. The Army's massive potential-value share reflects one or more large-ceiling contracts rather than volume; multiple smaller Navy and Air Force awards and NIST purchases show recurring operational demand.

Advanced Measurement Technology holds positions on five named parent indefinite delivery contracts, led by Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contract FA830718D0002 (13 task orders, $4.6 million combined potential value) and a single-award Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $4.95 million (awarded September 2025, running through March 2031) authorizing procurement of commodities and repair services for Automated Ground Filter Unit detectors and associated equipment. The company does not carry positions on government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs) or schedule contracts in the source data; its parent vehicle footprint is narrowly focused on Air Force and Army indefinite delivery contracts and agency BPAs with the Department of Energy and Department of Defense.

Activity has remained relatively stable year over year, with 9 to 19 awards per year from 2022 through 2026 (most recent award October 1, 2026). Four awards with ultimate completion dates falling within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.2 million, representing modest near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates overwhelmingly as a prime (98% of awards) and does not materially engage subcontractors on prime work; SCI data shows zero percent sub-hours share on service contracts, consistent with the vendor's role as a direct supplier of specialized equipment and repair services rather than a systems integrator or program manager.

Advanced Measurement Technology subcontracts to larger defense and energy-sector primes, including Triad National Security, LLC (Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operations, multiple sub-awards for Detective X identifiers and laboratory equipment), Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies (National Security Campus operations, radiation detection devices and detector modules), Fluor Marine Propulsion (Naval Nuclear Laboratory management, detector repair), and Leidos (communication equipment procurement). These sub-roles are secondary to the vendor's dominant prime posture and typically represent equipment supply or repair services embedded in larger facility-operations and program-management contracts rather than technology development or integration work.

Ametek Inc., the parent, is a global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices with a consolidated federal award footprint of 911 awards and $8.45 billion combined potential value across prime and sub work. Advanced Measurement Technology represents a high-specialization subsidiary focused on radiation detection and analytical measurement instrumentation — a narrow, technically defensible market segment with sustained federal customer demand driven by nuclear security, energy research, environmental monitoring, and naval propulsion missions.
