About Bluefors Inc.
Bluefors Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit cryogenic equipment manufacturer headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, supplies dilution refrigerator systems and specialized ultra-low temperature instrumentation to federal agencies as a prime contractor (67% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on federally funded research programs. The company competes predominantly on full-and-open, non-set-aside procurements across NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and related research-equipment categories, with no characteristic SBA designations.
Bluefors' customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which accounts for 15 of the vendor's 22 recent prime awards and $5.1 million in combined potential value—88% of the vendor's tracked prime portfolio. NIST procures dilution refrigerator systems and associated cryogenic components (vacuum can extensions, wiring, gas handling systems, thermometry equipment) through recurring purchase orders, typically firm-fixed-price and ranging from $16 thousand to $763 thousand per order. Representative prime work includes a $763 thousand horizontal dry dilution refrigerator for NIST's Physics Measurement Laboratory (awarded September 2023), a $729 thousand purchase order for two dilution refrigerators (June 2024), and a $625 thousand HE-3 dilution refrigerator system (September 2024). Outside NIST, Bluefors holds recent prime awards from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center ($475 thousand, June 2026, for a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator testbed under total small business set-aside), the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (two awards totaling $158 thousand for DC and RF installation sets), the Air Force Research Laboratory ($31 thousand combined across two awards), and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ($22 thousand for a cryogenic variable-temperature noise source). The vendor also holds task orders under two Navy indefinite delivery contracts (N0014004D0011 and FA300213D0011).
Activity accelerated sharply in 2024—20 awards that year compared to two in 2023 and one in 2022—though the dollar magnitude of obligated funds ($13.5 million) exceeds the combined potential value ($5.8 million), indicating modifications extending original award ceilings. Within the next twenty-four months, only one award (the NASA Goddard contract valued at $475 thousand, completing June 2028) faces ultimate completion, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure for the vendor. In its subcontractor role, Bluefors supplies dilution refrigerator systems and related cryogenic equipment to Valkyrie Enterprises, LLC (which sources for MIT Lincoln Laboratory research and development contracts, with four sub-awards since March 2024) and to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (on bit-flip-suppressed fluxonium quantum-computing research). Bluefors also receives federal grant sub-awards from HRL Laboratories, LLC for dilution refrigerator systems and cryogen-free solenoid magnets across three sub-grants since June 2024. Across both prime and sub work, Bluefors' capability set centers on custom and standard dilution refrigerator platforms, cryogenic wiring and coaxial assemblies rated to 18 GHz, gas handling and circulation systems, thermometry and control electronics with Python interfaces, and associated installation, relocation, commissioning, and training services—a specialized product portfolio anchored to quantum information science and precision metrology applications across civilian research agencies and defense laboratories.
