About the company
AML Oceanographic LTD, a foreign-owned Canadian manufacturer of oceanographic and hydrographic equipment headquartered in Saanichton, British Columbia, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) selling calibration, repair, maintenance, and replacement services for specialized marine sensors and profiling systems to naval and civilian oceanographic agencies. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements without set-asides, delivering sole-source and competitive firm-fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders valued in the tens of thousands to mid-hundreds of thousands of dollars per award.
Customer concentration is acute and stable. The top two agencies account for 81% of recent awards by count and 96% of combined potential value: the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (39 awards, $1.7 million combined potential value) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (38 awards, $1.8 million combined potential value), with the remainder scattered across the Department of the Navy, Army Corps of Engineers Portland District, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The two rankings track closely, indicating that NMOC and NOAA anchor both volume and dollars. NOAA awards skew toward supply-and-maintenance work on Moving Vessel Profiler (MVP) systems aboard oceanographic research vessels, such as a $456,190 purchase order for an AML MVP unit as a fleet spare (August 2025), a $94,235 order for an AML MVP-ROAM Underway Profiling System (August 2026), and recurring $11,000–$62,000 calibration and repair orders for MVP equipment aboard NOAA Ships Rainier, Thomas Jefferson, Fairweather, and Reuben Lasker. NMOC awards center on maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for MVP and Sea Surface Sound Velocimeter (SSSV) equipment performed at AML's Ottawa facility, including a $342,514 sole-source purchase order for MVP and SSSV servicing, calibration, and repair support through September 2029.
Activity has remained flat across the past five years (three to four awards annually from 2022 through 2026), with only two awards (combined potential value $115 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing minimal recompete exposure. The vendor holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with the Navy, primarily IDC N6230607D1029 (16 task orders, $172 thousand combined potential value) and IDC N6230619D0005 (9 task orders, $146 thousand combined potential value), which serve as parent vehicles for ongoing maintenance and repair task orders. AML's sub footprint is negligible; one recorded sub-award in the source data represents a vessel repair task order for M/V Petrel under prime Oceanetics Inc. (April 2025). Capability classification concentrates in geophysical instruments and underwater sound equipment manufacturing (NAICS 334511 and related codes, PSC 5845, 6630, 6640), with secondary exposure in electronic test and measurement instruments and ship and marine equipment repair (PSC 4210).
