Fotronic Corporation

Fotronic Corporation, doing business as Test Equipment Depot, a veteran-owned small business based in Woburn, Massachusetts, supplies precision test and measurement equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 299 distinct customer organizations, with a footprint concentrated in purchase orders and delivery orders for oscilloscopes, multimeters, thermal imaging cameras, spectrum analyzers, and specialized electronic diagnostic instruments.

Fotronic is a Subchapter S Corporation and veteran-owned business under primary NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and secondary NAICS codes spanning instrument manufacturing for electrical signal measurement, pressure/temperature/humidity sensing, and laboratory equipment. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurement but also pursues total small business set-aside opportunities when available; set-aside work recurs across oscilloscope, multimeter, and thermal camera awards, particularly through the Defense Logistics Agency. The firm holds active GSA Schedule contracts and maintains indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency, enabling streamlined, recurring delivery orders for electrical test equipment to support military logistics and combat support operations across multiple military branches.

The customer concentration is pronounced: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime alone accounts for 646 awards worth $17.1 million combined potential value—a 43% share by award count. Naval Sea Systems Command (205 awards, $2.4 million), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (144 awards, $1.7 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (74 awards, $9.7 million), and Naval Supply Systems Command (49 awards, $4.5 million) round out the top five by volume. Notably, while DLA L&M dominates by count, GSA FAS anchors dollar concentration at $9.7 million across fewer orders—reflecting larger-dollar equipment procurements. Combined, these five agencies represent 57% of the company's recent combined potential value and 43% of award count.

Fotronic's primary vehicle is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, under which 1,076 task orders carry $17.7 million in combined potential value. Beyond MAS, the company holds positions on agency-specific indefinite delivery contracts: IDC SPM7LX13D0016 accounts for 35 task orders ($1.6 million), IDC SPE7LX17D0039 for 28 task orders ($523 thousand), IDC SPM7MX13D0009 for 24 task orders ($687 thousand), and IDC SPRMM118DDC01 for 22 task orders ($712 thousand). The company also holds a recently awarded single-award, total small business set-aside IDC with DLA Aviation (Dec 11, 2025, $350,000 ceiling) for temperature indicators, extending through December 11, 2026.

Recent activity shows growth through 2024—105 awards in 2022 to 211 in 2024—followed by a moderation to 110 awards in 2025 and 22 in the first half of 2026. Eight awards reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $318 thousand, presenting limited recompete exposure. The vendor has issued 2,567 prime awards against 7 sub-awards; subcontract work is minimal and routed through primes including HII Mission Technologies Corp (VLS interface test sets for Naval Surface Warfare Center), Booz Allen Hamilton (microelectronics assurance testing for AFRL), and BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services (instrumentation range support). Fotronic serves as an authorized distributor of Tektronix, Keithley, Fluke, and other brand-name precision test equipment.

By category, 1,605 awards fall under NAICS 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals), reflecting the company's core footprint in electrical test instrumentation. Top PSC codes align: 1,333 awards under Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments, 169 under Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Sensing, and 159 under Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Contract values in recent awards range from sub-thousand-dollar orders for accessories and calibration kits to six-figure procurements for oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers; the largest recent prime award is a $2.073 billion spectrum analyzer contract with Naval Supply Systems Command (Nov 22, 2024, NSN 7Z-6625-016089157, 59 units). Fotronic's established relationship with DLA and NAVSEA, combined with pre-positioned inventory and GSA Schedule pricing, positions it as a rapid-fulfillment vendor for both emergency and routine test equipment needs across defense and civilian agencies.
