Argon Conceptual Systems, LLC

Argon Conceptual Systems, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Springfield, Virginia, provides operational management, technical oversight, and data engineering support for NASA's international meteor radar network as a 100% prime contractor. The vendor operates exclusively through sole-source purchase orders under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across five federal awards totaling $600 thousand in combined potential value.

Argon's entire award footprint derives from a single customer: NASA's Shared Services Center, which issued all five purchase orders between April 2023 and October 2026. The vendor's concrete capability set centers on meteor radar operations, maintenance coordination, and global data pipeline engineering. Representative work includes a $349,900 purchase order (awarded January 26, 2026, ultimate completion January 25, 2027) for establishing a data pipeline via a global network of meteor radars — recovering, standardizing, and operationalizing data streams from six international SKiYMET radar sites in Brazil, Australia, and Indonesia to produce WMO-compliant BUFR data products for upper-atmospheric research and space-weather forecasting. Argon also holds a $79,950 order (awarded October 1, 2026, completion December 31, 2028) for support of the Argentina Observational Instrument Suite, including coordinating communications and maintenance scheduling for the Southern Argentina Advanced Meteor Radar (SAAMeR) and the Trelew Meteor Radar (TreMoR), as well as a $32,030 order (awarded April 13, 2026, completion September 30, 2027) for comprehensive operational management and sustainment of TreMoR. Work is performed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and at the vendor's Springfield, Virginia headquarters. All awards fall under NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and are classified as firm fixed-price commercial item acquisitions under FAR Parts 12 and 13.

Four awards carrying $520 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across 87% of the vendor's current portfolio.
