Cimquest Inc.

Cimquest Inc., a small foreign-owned for-profit subchapter S corporation based in Branchburg, New Jersey, sells 3D printing equipment, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software licenses, and related maintenance and support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards). The vendor is a subsidiary of Mastergraphics Incorporated, a self-certified small disadvantaged business. Cimquest competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements; small business set-asides appear on roughly one-quarter of awards, concentrated in Mastercam software renewals and 3D printer system purchases with the U.S. Mint, Coast Guard, and Department of Defense components.

Cimquest's capability footprint centers on advanced manufacturing technology distribution and support. The vendor supplies XACT Metal 3D printers (XM200G, XM200 models), Desktop Metal Studio System 2 metal printers, and HP industrial 3D printers to defense and civilian research facilities, bundling hardware delivery with installation, training, and multi-year maintenance contracts. On the software side, Cimquest is an authorized distributor of Mastercam (mill, lathe, routing, and wire electrical discharge machining modules), Verisurf metrology software, and GeoMagic design software. Representative prime work includes a $230,620 purchase order from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (awarded September 2023) for an XM200G 3D printer; a $197,781 award from the Air Force (September 2023) for an XM200G printer, installation, and training at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division; a $189,370 purchase order from TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (awarded November 2024) for Mastercam software maintenance across multiple modules at Watervliet Arsenal through November 2027 with two option years; and a $132,100 CDC Pittsburgh maintenance contract (March 2025) for Desktop Metal Studio System 2 support and Fabricate software licensing through March 2030.

Customer concentration reflects Cimquest's dual-track federal footprint. Across 39 distinct customer agencies, the top five customers by award count account for 47% of awards: the Department of Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (16 awards, $2 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (14 awards, $542 thousand), Army Materiel Command Picatinny Arsenal (13 awards, $256 thousand), NASA Shared Services Center (12 awards, $389 thousand), and Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (8 awards, $5.3 million). When ranked by combined potential value, the Naval Air Warfare Center anchors the portfolio at $5.3 million across eight awards — this customer concentration divergence signals deep dollar exposure in one account despite distributed award volume elsewhere. The Naval Air Warfare Center relationship includes a $4.999 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA W15QKN15A0094), which carries Cimquest as a trusted supplier of engineering and technical services in support of naval aviation research, development, test, and evaluation programs; this BPA generates recurring task orders for software licenses and maintenance renewals.

Cimquest's award activity has grown from six awards in 2022 to 17 in 2024, then declined to six in 2025 and two through March 2026, signaling either a reporting lag or contraction. Of the $11.8 million in combined potential value across 134 awards, $7.1 million is obligated (60%). Five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $429 thousand, representing modest recompete exposure relative to portfolio size. The primary vehicle underpinning Cimquest's work is the Navy BPA W15QKN15A0094 (4 task orders, $509 thousand); other vehicles include Army One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (3 task orders), an Army Indefinite Delivery Contract W15QKN06A0134 (3 task orders, $123 thousand), and an Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract (2 task orders).

In subcontractor roles, Cimquest delivers software and equipment support through Fluor Marine Propulsion (GeoMagic Design X renewals for Naval Nuclear Laboratory and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program support, awarded February and July 2025), Peraton Inc. (Mastercam maintenance for NASA GSFC Engineering and Technology Directorate environmental test and integration services, and Mastercam renewals for the NASA Sounding Rockets Program, both 2024), CACI Inc. Federal and CACI Technologies (commercial technology software and hardware for the I2WD CBTA program and equipment maintenance for the REACT program, 2024), and Leidos Inc. (procurement goods and services for the Studies of Novel Explosives for Advanced Multi-Purpose Munitions program, 2024). The subcontract footprint accounts for only 8% of awards by count but includes some significant multi-year efforts, particularly within naval and aerospace R&D domains where Cimquest's advanced manufacturing software and equipment support specialized engineering workflows.
