About the company
Advanced Research Systems, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Macungie, Pennsylvania, manufactures precision cryogenic equipment and scientific instrumentation for federal research agencies as a prime contractor, competing full-and-open across all recent awards with no set-aside designations. The vendor specializes in closed-cycle cryostats, helium cryo-coolers, refrigeration systems, and related cryogenic components for ultra-low-temperature applications in physics research, optical studies, and ultra-high vacuum experiments.
Advanced Research Systems operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract activity. The company's customer base is diffuse across sixteen federal agencies, with concentration split between volume and dollar value. By award count, the National Institute of Standards and Technology leads with 20 awards ($395 thousand combined potential value), followed by NASA's Shared Services Center with 9 awards ($405 thousand), and the Office of Naval Research with 8 awards ($562 thousand). By potential value, the Office of Naval Research anchors the portfolio at $562 thousand across 8 awards, NASA's Shared Services Center contributes $405 thousand across 9 awards, and NIST holds $395 thousand across its 20 awards. These five agencies account for 57% of award count and 71% of combined potential value. Purchase orders dominate the award structure; recent representative work includes a $95,382 purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center for a low-temperature, low-vibration helium cryo-cooler for the ICEE facility (July 2026), a $101,181 order from the Office of Naval Research for a closed-cycle cryostat for optical studies (November 2024), and a $79,508 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from Naval Education and Training Command for a closed-cycle cryostat for microscope applications (August 2025).
Activity has remained sparse and flat — two awards in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 — with combined potential value of $2.3 million across eighty-eight total awards spanning since 1994. Only two awards ($166 thousand combined potential value) reach completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates under NAICS 541712 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) for 37 of 88 awards and PSC Laboratory Equipment and Supplies for 46 awards, reflecting concentration in precision cryogenic measurement and control instrumentation. The source identifies one parent vehicle, a Navy Blanket Purchase Agreement (NA134102N2088), carrying a single task order. The vendor's contract ceiling values typically range from ten thousand to one hundred thousand dollars per order, with work performed at the Pennsylvania headquarters or at customer sites including Washington, DC, Monterey, California, and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
