Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, LLC

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer of industrial metrology and precision measurement equipment, operates as a prime contractor across 90% of its federal award portfolio, supplying coordinate measuring machines, laser trackers, articulated measurement arms, and specialized metrology software to the Department of Defense and civilian agencies. The company competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no small business set-asides; its federal footprint spans 968 awards totaling $66.2 million in combined potential value since 2002, with recent activity accelerating—118 awards in 2025 alone—though obligated dollars ($81.7 million) exceed potential value, reflecting actual spending on completed contracts. Hexagon is headquartered in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, and manufactures goods under primary NAICS 334513 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables) and PSC 4945 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Instruments and Laboratory Equipment).

The Navy dominates Hexagon's customer concentration by award volume and dollar magnitude. Naval Sea Systems Command leads with 154 awards ($6.7 million combined potential value), followed by Naval Air Systems Command (93 awards, $6.6 million) and Naval Air Warfare Center (51 awards, $6.8 million). The Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command anchors the second-largest concentration at 98 awards ($10.7 million), the highest potential-value customer. Together, the top five customers account for 46% of awards and 52% of combined potential value. The Air Force Materiel Command—split across Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex (48 awards, $2.2 million) and Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (22 awards, $3.4 million)—rounds out the core defense footprint. Civilian agencies (NASA, NIST, the Mint, FAA, NTSB, Department of Commerce) represent a smaller but steady stream of orders, typically for software licenses, maintenance renewals, and equipment procurement.

Hexagon's work centers on precision measurement equipment sales and maintenance. Representative prime contracts include a $1.936 million Naval Supply Systems Command order (December 2025) for 22 theodolite surveying instruments; a $943.956 million Army TACOM purchase order (April 2024) for two Global S 9.20.8 Scan+ coordinate measuring machines; a $628.554 million Naval Air Systems Command order (July 2025) for CMMs supporting T408 Engine depot maintenance; a $733.663 million contract with Naval Air Systems Command (April 2025) for MyCare Premium Subscription maintenance covering twelve CMMs and seven Leica laser trackers at Fleet Readiness Center East, Cherry Point, North Carolina; a $804.750 million NIST order (July 2024) for an ultra-high-accuracy CMM; and a $485.464 million Naval Air Warfare Center delivery (September 2023) of laser tracker equipment for the V-22 Osprey program. Smaller orders span software maintenance (PC-DMIS, ESPRIT CAM, SpatialAnalyzer, VGSTUDIO, WorkNC), calibration services, repair and refurbishment, and training—typical values range from $3,000 to $100,000 for single-line-item orders. No parent IDIQ, GWAC, or BPA vehicles appear in the top-vehicle listing; instead, Hexagon's work flows through a mix of individual purchase orders and smaller indefinite-delivery contracts (FA861624DB001 with 18 task orders and N6833516D0037 with 3 task orders).

Hexagon's subcontractor footprint is modest. The vendor appears as a sub across defense primes including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (multiple B-2 and GBSD-related sub-awards in 2025), Pantexas Deterrence LLC (Pantex Plant management and operations support, 2025–2026), Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies LLC (National Security Campus M&O work, software and equipment renewal), Peraton Inc. (NASA GSFC Environmental Test and Integration Services III contract, 2026), Southwest Research Institute (hypersonics supply chain research, March 2026), and Consolidated Nuclear Security LLC (Y-12 National Security Complex operations, 2025). Sub-work involves supply of measurement equipment and software support within larger defense and national-security platform programs.

Activity has grown sharply year over year—from 58 awards in 2023 to 118 in 2025—indicating strong market position and increasing federal reliance on Hexagon's specialized metrology capabilities. The recompete cliff shows 44 awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, valued at $5.2 million combined potential value; this represents a modest recompete exposure, suggesting most of Hexagon's portfolio consists of smaller, high-velocity purchase orders rather than long-term strategic contracts. The category concentration is heavily skewed toward instrument manufacturing and equipment repair (269 awards under primary NAICS), software publishing (72 and 62 awards across software-related classifications), and maintenance and repair work (132 awards in precision equipment repair). No set-aside categories recur across the portfolio; all awards are full-and-open, reflecting Hexagon's sole-source posture on proprietary measurement technologies and OEM-specific software and equipment where alternative sourcing is limited or impossible. Hexagon's foreign-ownership designation appears consistently in contract narratives but does not preclude full-and-open federal procurement or exclude it from defense work, suggesting the company operates under standard national-security compliance requirements.
