Applied Technical Services, LLC

Applied Technical Services, LLC, a for-profit limited liability partnership based in Marietta, Georgia, provides nondestructive testing, radiographic inspection, destructive testing, metallurgical analysis, and technical calibration services to the Department of the Navy, the Department of the Army, and NASA as a prime contractor (72% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on ship repair and defense programs. The vendor competes exclusively in full and open competition with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint. Applied Technical Services is a foreign-owned parent company with 19 named subsidiaries, including Colorado Engineering Experiment Station Inc., Source Detection Systems LLC, Veracity Technology Solutions LLC, Express Calibration Services LLC, Arcca LLC, Instrumentation Technical Services LLC, and Phoenix National Laboratories LLC, which collectively extend its technical capability scope.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily skewed to naval ship maintenance. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command dominates the footprint, accounting for 33 of Applied Technical Services' 118 total awards (49% of all awards) with $4.3 million in combined potential value and driving the top customer ranking by both volume and dollars. The Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command ranks second with 7 awards ($625 thousand potential value), followed by the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Louisville (3 awards, $349 thousand), the Office of Personnel Management (2 awards, $187 thousand), and the Navy's Office of Naval Research (2 awards, $93 thousand). Together these five customers represent 78% of combined potential value across the portfolio. The Air National Guard (6 awards), the United States Fleet Forces Command (7 awards), and the United States Marine Corps (5 awards) round out the active set. Applied Technical Services' capability portfolio is defined by ship maintenance and destruction-testing work: a $197 thousand radiographic inspection order for sonar dome rubber windows from Naval Sea Systems Command (January 2026), a $160 thousand radiographic inspection purchase order for sonar dome testing at the Yokosuka Ship Repair Facility in Japan (June 2025), a $213 thousand purchase order from TACOM for destructive testing of tensile and Charpy specimens for the Watervliet Arsenal 60MM Mortar Program (January 2024), and recurring $150–210 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command orders for sonar dome rubber window test and inspection services throughout 2022–2025. A $17.7 thousand order from NASA's Shared Services Center for proof pressure testing of Artemis II flight hardware (April 2025) and a $99.4 thousand BPA call from the Department of Veterans Affairs for professional services in support of the Louisville construction project (March 2025) represent civilian agency diversification.

Applied Technical Services holds seats on five government vehicles: the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0195V (11 task orders, $501 thousand combined potential value), a Multiple Award Schedule (7 task orders), the Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract (6 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract N6600121D0037 (3 task orders), and Indefinite Delivery Contract FA821318D0001 (2 task orders). A single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Veterans Affairs, awarded July 25, 2024, with a $250 thousand ceiling and a three-year performance period through July 2027, anchors the vendor's civilian agency footprint. Activity has accelerated sharply — six awards in 2022, seven in 2023, twenty in 2024, and seventeen in 2025 — with only four awards (combined potential value $531 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS concentration is high: 40 awards fall under Testing Laboratories and Services, 19 under Ship Building and Repairing, and 8 under Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. PSC concentration tracks similarly, with 12 awards under Non-Nuclear Ship Repair (West) and 8 under Other Quality Control/Test/Inspect Miscellaneous categories.

Applied Technical Services operates as a prime contractor on 85 awards (72% of the portfolio) and as a subcontractor on 33 awards (28%). In its subcontractor role, the vendor delivers testing and inspection services to BAE Systems Jacksonville Ship Repair LLC on multiple Fiscal Year 2024–2025 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) direct subcontracts for USS Ramage (DDG-61) and USS The Sullivans (DDG-68), to KBR Wyle Services LLC on Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability, and Interoperability (RMQSI) testing services for the Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve Command Test Center (multiple awards, May 2024–December 2024), to Bechtel National Inc. on radiographic testing and nondestructive examination services for NASA's Space Launch System Mobile Launcher 2 design and construction (awards September 2021–October 2023), to Trademasters Service Inc. on tank inspection and operations and maintenance services (April 2022, October 2023), and to General Dynamics Mission Systems Inc., Scientific Research Corporation, and Nammo Defense Systems Inc. on specialized testing and analysis work. The Service Contract Inventory dataset reports minimal SCI-reportable activity (one record in FY2024, classified as a sub-engagement, with zero FTEs), indicating that most of Applied Technical Services' federal revenue flows through purchase orders and BPA calls below or outside SCI's $150 thousand reporting threshold or through classified contracts excluded from the dataset. The vendor's federal services activity captured in SCI represents a strict subset of its total federal footprint and does not reflect the scale of its purchase-order-driven business model.
