Comet Technologies, Usa, Inc.

Comet Technologies, USA Inc., a foreign-owned division of the Swiss technology firm Comet Group, provides preventative maintenance, repair, and technical service for scientific instruments and laboratory equipment to Department of Defense and federal science agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on small-dollar purchase orders, with no set-aside certifications and minimal recent procurement activity.

Comet Technologies USA operates from Shelton, Connecticut, and specializes in the maintenance and calibration of x-ray systems and precision laboratory instruments. The vendor's federal footprint centers on six PSC codes split between equipment maintenance and repair (six awards under Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment — Instruments and Laboratory Equipment; four under Special Industry Machinery), with top NAICS categories in Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing (six awards) and Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (five awards). Concrete recent work includes a $12,995 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Marine Corps awarded April 22, 2026, for one-year preventative maintenance and service of a Barstow Marine SP Basic MG 450 x-ray system at Yermo, California, with a six-month preventative maintenance inspection interval; a $34,635 Marine Corps purchase order from April 11, 2023, for maintenance and evaluation of a Yxlon X-Ray system at Marine Depot Maintenance Command Production Plant Barstow running through April 11, 2026; and a $40,901.40 Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate purchase order from April 29, 2022, for service and preventative maintenance visits on a Yxlon MG 450 x-ray system.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward naval and military customers. The top five agencies account for 78% of all awards by count and 91% of combined potential value. The United States Marine Corps leads with five awards totaling $128 thousand in potential value, followed by the Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs (three awards, $100 thousand), the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (two awards, $78 thousand), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (two awards, $66 thousand), and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (two awards, $23 thousand). The vendor has also performed work for the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service.

Recent activity is sparse: one award in 2026, two in 2023, one in 2022, and one in 2020. Total awards across the source's timespan number eighteen with $464 thousand in combined potential value and $395 thousand obligated (85% realization rate). Only two awards carry completion dates within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $51 thousand, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Comet Technologies competes full-and-open with no organizational set-asides and appears to supply specialty maintenance services on a non-recurring, call-as-needed basis rather than holding standing IDIQs or task-order vehicles.
