Hogentogler & Co., Inc.

Hogentogler & Co., Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Columbia, Maryland, supplies precision laboratory equipment and scientific instruments to federal agencies as a prime contractor, operating entirely on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across its active prime portfolio (100% prime awards, zero sub work). The company is a Subchapter S corporation that has maintained federal procurement relationships since 1985, competing on unrestricted purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts across defense and civilian agencies.

Hogentogler's capability portfolio centers on precision measurement and analytical instruments: laboratory balances, mass comparators, titrators, scales, microbalances, climate chambers, and furnace systems, sourced from manufacturers such as Mettler-Toledo and supplied to support federal laboratory operations and calibration programs. Representative recent work includes a $2.36 million Naval Air Warfare Center purchase order (March 2024) for manual mass comparator equipment; a $38.2 thousand National Institute of Standards and Technology purchase order (September 2025) for a mass comparator supporting the Gas Sensing Metrology Group's Standard Reference Materials programs; a $28.4 thousand Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine purchase order (September 2024) for constant-climate chambers with ICH-compliant light source; and an Army Aviation and Missile Command $23.8 thousand purchase order (March 2024) for software efficiency packs. A single-award indefinite delivery contract with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (awarded June 2025, ceiling $1.29 million through June 2028) establishes a framework for titrator procurement.

Customer concentration is fragmented across 69 distinct federal agencies. By award count, the top five agencies account for 53% of recent awards and are dominated by Army customers: the Department of the Army (63 awards), Army Materiel Command TACOM (37 awards), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (11 awards), Department of the Navy Installations Command (10 awards), and Army Forces Command (7 awards). By potential value, however, the ranking shifts sharply — these high-volume Army customers carry minimal dollar values, while the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration ($184 thousand across 4 awards), Naval Sea Systems Command ($184 thousand across 3 awards), and NIST ($78 thousand across 4 awards) anchor the dollars despite lower award counts. This divergence reflects Hogentogler's role as a small-order supplier of commodity laboratory items to Army procurement, contrasted with higher-value precision equipment sales to civilian measurement and testing agencies.

Hogentogler holds a position on GSA Schedule GS02F13813 (Blanket Purchase Agreement), under which 63 task orders have been placed. Recent activity totaled four awards in 2025 and two in 2026 (as of March 26, 2026), representing a decline from five awards in 2024. The vendor's combined potential value across all 242 awards in the source data is $5 million, with obligations reaching $5.3 million — indicating full execution of awarded ceiling values. The vendor maintains no subcontract relationships and competes as a direct prime contractor across all procurement vehicles.
