About the company
Four Nine Design LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Billings, Montana, manufactures specialized cryogenic systems for federal research laboratories as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open solicitations. The vendor has received four purchase orders from the National Institute of Standards and Technology totaling $917 thousand, all as prime contractor (100% of awards), with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
Four Nine Design operates exclusively with a single customer, NIST, which accounts for 100% of recent awards and combined potential value. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on closed-cycle cryostat systems, large-sample-stage cryostats, photonic probe cryostats, and millimeter-wave cryostats designed to support NIST's Physical Measurements Lab characterization of superconducting devices, digital logic circuits, mixed-signal circuits, and semiconductor devices at temperatures down to 4.2 Kelvin. Representative awards include a $244,900 purchase order (September 22, 2026) for a closed-cycle cryostat system with cooling power exceeding 1.5 watts at 4.5 Kelvin and a firm fixed-price order of $246,760 (September 18, 2026) for a large sample stage cryostat with less than 90-minute cool-down time. Earlier awards included a $245,057 photonic probe cryostat (September 13, 2023, Total Small Business set-aside) and a $180,425 millimeter-wave cryostat (August 10, 2023, Total Small Business set-aside). All work is performed at the vendor's Billings, Montana facility.
Four Nine Design's award activity shows a two-year gap between 2023 (two awards) and 2026 (two awards); two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months ($492 thousand combined potential value) face recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS and PSC profile is concentrated in analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing and specialized refrigeration equipment supply.
