Faro Technologies Inc.

Faro Technologies Inc., headquartered in Lake Mary, Florida, is a for-profit manufacturer of precision 3D measurement, imaging, and realization technology that operates as a subsidiary of Ametek Inc. and competes in full-and-open federal procurements as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) across defense, civilian, and civilian research agencies without benefit of set-aside designations. The company supplies portable coordinate measuring machines, 3D laser scanners, laser trackers, and associated metrology software and calibration services—predominantly as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hardware and field services—with 1,415 federal awards totaling $161.9 million in combined potential value since 1993.

Faro's federal customer base centers on the Department of the Navy. The Naval Sea Systems Command alone accounts for 430 awards ($21.5 million combined potential value) and dominates both volume and dollar concentration; the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center, and related warfare centers add another 189 awards. The Department of the Army Test and Evaluation Command ($4.5 million across 40 awards), the FBI Headquarters Division ($3.2 million across 45 awards), and the Air Force Materiel Command ($3.1 million across 19 awards) round out the top five. About 47% of all awards track to these five customers. Faro also serves the Coast Guard, National Transportation Safety Board, NASA, Army corps, and Homeland Security agencies. Recent activity shows 51 awards in 2022, declining to 35 in 2025 and 9 through July 2026—a downward trajectory that will create recompete exposure: 22 awards ($1.5 million combined potential value) complete within the next twenty-four months.

Faro's work splits between hardware procurement and calibration-repair services. Representative prime contracts include a $180.4 million sole-source purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (June 2025) for laser trackers and related equipment supporting the Naval Foundry and Propeller Center; a $289.9 million delivery order from NAVSEA (March 2024) for a Quantum S MAX FARO Arm 2.0M portable coordinate measuring machine; a $235 thousand award from Army Contracting Command-Redstone (March 2024) for a Tracker Vantage E6 Max, Quantum S Max Arm, and PolyWorks software; and recurring $100-150 thousand orders for calibration, warranty renewal, and maintenance services across Naval stations and Air Force test centers. Smaller purchase orders ($2,300–$50,000) for FARO arm calibrations, laser line probe services, and software licenses (CAM2, PolyWorks, Geomagic Wrap) run continuously across the Navy command structure. Recent sub-award work includes supply of a Quantum device, laser line probe, and accessories to Southwest Research Institute (September 2025) for SOF-peculiar dismounted maneuver technology RDT&E, and provision of equipment and technical support to Alutiiq Information Management, LLC for the RESTORE Laboratory Advanced Manufacturing Service Center (multiple 2024–2025 awards).

Faro holds four active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with Naval Sea Systems Command: a $1.7 million IDIQ (May 2022 through May 2027) for portable coordinate measuring machines, laser scanners, and software; a $999.7 thousand IDIQ (May 2024 through May 2029) for FARO brand portable CMMs and laser scanners; a $238.9 thousand IDIQ (March 2022 through March 2025) for laser tracker calibration; and a $188.7 thousand IDIQ (July 2025 through July 2028) for calibration and repair of laser trackers, arms, and line probes. The company also operates on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where 763 task orders valued at $34.5 million have been placed, primarily by Navy and civilian agencies seeking recurring calibration, maintenance, and warranty renewal services. Top NAICS categories are 334513 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing—980 awards) and 334518 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing—63 awards). Top PSC codes center on equipment maintenance and repair (PSC 3,349—147 awards) and laboratory equipment procurement (PSCs 6,115, 6,030, 6,065).

Faro subcontracts to major prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Electric Boat Corporation, and Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC, typically supplying specialized measurement equipment, calibration services, and spare parts for defense production programs including THAAD interceptors, submarine construction, and aircraft systems. The company has been a consistent federal supplier since 1993, with recent awards concentrated in Navy metrology and quality assurance support. No set-aside certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other) are noted in the source; Faro competes full-and-open across all vehicles and customer agencies and does not anchor its federal business to set-aside positions.
