About the company
Cameca Instruments, Inc., a Madison, Wisconsin-based subsidiary of Ametek Inc., manufactures precision analytical instrumentation—atom probe microscopes, secondary ion mass spectrometers, and related scientific equipment—and delivers capital equipment, maintenance services, and technical support to federal research agencies as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis.
Cameca's federal customer base centers heavily on NIST. The National Institute of Standards and Technology accounts for 36 of the vendor's 131 tracked awards (65% coverage of recent award volume) and $32.4 million in combined potential value (92% of the vendor's total portfolio by dollar value). The next four customers—the Office of Naval Research (22 awards, $4.3 million), Army Materiel Command's Research Development and Engineering Command (7 awards, $4.7 million), Air Force Space Command (7 awards, $3.5 million), and Navy Strategic Systems Programs (13 awards, $700 thousand)—account for the remainder. This concentration reflects Cameca's specialized role as the primary supplier of atom probe and secondary ion mass spectrometer equipment and Gold Service maintenance contracts to the federal materials science research ecosystem.
Representative prime work includes a $5.68 million Local Electrode Atom Probe (LEAP) tomography system delivered to NIST under the CHIPS and Science Act (February 2025, ultimate completion April 2030); a $7.97 million ultra-high sensitivity secondary ion mass spectrometer with delivery, installation, and warranty provided to NIST (August 2022, completion March 2029); a $3.87 million LEAP atom probe tomography chamber delivered to NIST under the CHIPS R&D program (July 2026, completion March 2032); and a $725 thousand preventative maintenance service contract for a LEAP 5000 XR system at Army Materiel Command's Aberdeen Proving Ground (July 2024, base year plus four option years through September 2029). Cameca also holds multiple Gold Service maintenance contracts with NIST and the Office of Naval Research covering LEAP and other analytical systems, typically valued at $130–$203 thousand per contract, and delivers component upgrades and detector repairs to the Air Force.
Activity has grown modestly—two awards in 2022 to eight in 2026—with five awards (combined potential value $552 thousand) reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure. Cameca's prime contract work dominates its federal footprint; sub-award activity is rare (7 awards, or 5% of the total), with one sub-engagement to Mantech Advanced Systems International for particle analysis services supporting the Trace Particle Analysis mission and three sub-engagements (to unnamed NASA centers) for NanoSIMS Gold Service contracts and related engineering support.
On federal service contracts captured in the Service Contract Inventory and above the $150 thousand reporting threshold, Cameca shows minimal SCI activity—$790 thousand in invoiced revenue across FY2024 only, delivered by 0.3 FTEs. This reflects Cameca's business model: the bulk of its federal work consists of capital equipment procurement and product-based maintenance services (PSC codes 29 for laboratory equipment and supplies, and 63 for maintenance and repair of equipment), not labor-hour service contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on the SCI-reportable service work averaged $1,631 per hour (median), with rates spanning $1,469–$1,793 per hour across the distribution. Cameca performs no documented sub-hours on its prime service contracts.
Cameca operates under primary NAICS 541512 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), with secondary codes in equipment repair and maintenance (20 awards) and engineering services (16 awards), reflecting its dual role as equipment manufacturer and technical service provider. The vendor holds no visible parent vehicle positions such as GWACs, BPAs, or government-wide IDIQs; awards are direct purchase orders from customer agencies. As a subsidiary of Ametek Inc., a global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices, Cameca Instruments operates as a specialized supplier rather than as a diversified prime contractor, with its customer relationships, capability set, and award history driven almost entirely by its ownership of atom probe and secondary ion mass spectrometer product lines and the federal research infrastructure's reliance on those tools.
