Geokon Inc.

Geokon Inc., a Lebanon, New Hampshire-based manufacturer of geotechnical and structural instrumentation, serves the federal government as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) supplying precision measurement equipment to the Army Corps of Engineers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. The company is a small business organized as a Subchapter S Corporation competing under no set-aside programs.

Geokon's capability portfolio centers on the design and manufacture of specialized measurement sensors and instrumentation for geotechnical and structural monitoring applications. The product line includes hydraulic earth pressure cells, semiconductor strain gauge earth pressure cells, piezometers, dataloggers, and tiltmeters. Representative work includes a $28,814 purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers for tiltmeters deployed to the Wyckoff/Eagle Harbor Superfund site cleanup project in Bainbridge Island, Washington (awarded August 2024); a recurring stream of earth pressure cell BPA calls from the Engineer Research and Development Center totaling roughly $20,000 to $35,000 per call across 2024 and 2025; and a five-year single-award BPA with ERDC established February 5, 2024, valued at $740,427 through February 5, 2029, for hydraulic earth pressure cells and associated technical support services. Geokon is the exclusive manufacturer of the specialized earth pressure cells procured under the ERDC BPA, which streamlines acquisition and includes direct in-house technical support from Geokon engineers.

Customer concentration is fragmented. The top five customer organizations by award count account for 53% of all awards, led by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Engineer Research and Development Center (each 23 awards), followed by the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Seattle (17 awards), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (16 awards), and the broader Army Corps of Engineers (14 awards). The rankings by potential dollar value diverge slightly: ERDC anchors the portfolio at $1.1 million combined potential value across 23 awards, the CDC Pittsburgh component at $416 thousand, and the Engineering District St Paul at $246 thousand. The Army Corps of Engineers ecosystem (ERDC, Seattle District, St Paul District, and the broad Corps entity combined) accounts for the majority of recent activity and recompete exposure.

Geokon holds positions on multiple indefinite delivery vehicles. The primary vehicle is Blanket Purchase Agreement W912HZ24A0009, which has generated 11 task orders valued at $261 thousand combined. The company also places work under Indefinite Delivery Contracts W9123718D0008 and W912WJ04A0028, among others. The five-year ERDC BPA established in February 2024 is the largest single vehicle in the footprint.

Activity has accelerated modestly in recent years — two awards in 2020, one in 2022, two in 2023, eight in 2024, and six through mid-2025 — reflecting deepening engagement with the Army Corps of Engineers and its research centers. Combined potential value across all 174 prime and sub awards sits at $3.2 million, though combined dollars obligated total $4.1 million, indicating that actual invoiced performance has exceeded stated ceilings. The subcontract footprint is minimal (2% of awards): Geokon supplied piezometers and dataloggers to AECOM Technical Services on a Zoar Levee geotechnical instrumentation installation project in Ohio (February 2023) and electrical materials to AECOM on a Bluestone Dam project in West Virginia (June 2024).

Manufacturer of geotechnical sensors such as piezometer, strain gages, inclinometers, extensometers, load cells, pressure cells, dataloggers, and wireless dataloggers.
