Dinamica Inc.

Dinamica Inc., doing business as Dynamax Inc., manufactures specialized scientific instrumentation and environmental monitoring sensors for federal research agencies, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on small-dollar purchase orders. The Houston-based for-profit corporation is a small business that competes under both total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements, with total small business designations appearing on roughly 20% of recent awards.

Dinamica's product portfolio centers on precision environmental and agricultural measurement equipment: sunshine pyranometers and radiation sensors for atmospheric research; sap flow sensor systems for plant water-use studies; sonic anemometers and wind measurement instruments; infrared temperature data-logging systems for crop stress detection; and marine sensors and data buoys. The vendor supplies these instruments directly to federal research programs rather than through systems integrators or prime contractors. Representative recent awards include a $143.1 thousand NOAA purchase order for FY22 U.S. Climate Reference Network equipment (pyranometers for Oak Ridge, Tennessee, September 2022); a $69.6 thousand USDA Agricultural Research Service total small business set-aside for six sap flow sensor systems and stem gages (July 2022); and a $57.2 thousand NOAA purchase order for a sonic anemometer system supporting Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory research on air-sea exchanges (September 2024). More recent work includes a $24.5 thousand U.S. Forest Service purchase order for SnapFlow Sensors (October 2025) and a $17.8 thousand NOAA order for a Gill Anemometer R3A-100 (August 2026).

Dinamica's customer base concentrates heavily in civilian research agencies. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration leads by both award count and dollar value — 23 awards carrying $704 thousand in combined potential value across 42% of recent awards. The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service field programs rank second, with 46 combined awards (Plains Area, Pacific West Area, and other ARS sub-offices) worth $468 thousand. The U.S. Forest Service contributes six awards valued at $73 thousand. These three agencies account for substantially all of Dinamica's recent federal work. Two Federal Supply Schedule vehicles (GS07F9494S and GS07F9495S) anchor 26 task orders worth $270 thousand in combined potential value, though the vendor's primary footprint remains direct agency purchase orders.

Activity has declined notably. The vendor received seven awards in 2022, four in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — a trajectory suggesting either consolidation of customer demand into fewer, larger orders or reduced federal research instrumentation spending. Combined potential value across 163 recent awards totals $2.6 million with $2.4 million obligated (92% of potential). The vendor holds no federal contract IDVs, seats on no multi-agency GWACs, and operates entirely within its narrow instrumentation manufacturing footprint: primary NAICS codes concentrate on instruments and related products manufacturing for measuring industrial process variables (67 awards), analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (47 awards), and other measuring and controlling device manufacturing (29 awards). Dinamica registered in SAM.gov in 2001 and has supplied scientific equipment to federal research for more than two decades, but recent award velocity does not signal growth or broad federal expansion.

We produce systems that help measure, regulate and manage plant, soil and water resources. Our sensors and systems are designed to monitor plant transpiration, plant bio-productivity, soil and environmental conditions, and phytoremdiation systems.
