Hopewell Designs, Inc.

Hopewell Designs, Inc., a small business manufacturer of radiation-based measurement and calibration systems, operates as a prime contractor (97% of awards) delivering specialized radiological equipment, repair services, and logistics support to federal defense and civilian agencies. The Alpharetta, Georgia–based Subchapter S corporation competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, with recurring small business set-aside awards (Total Small Business designation) concentrated in Army and Air Force purchase orders; recent awards show no 8(a) or other formal SBA program participation, though the company holds small business status under NAICS 334515 (Measuring, Medical, and Controlling Instruments Manufacturing).

Hopewell Designs' core capability spans the design, manufacture, installation, repair, and maintenance of advanced radiological equipment—including gamma and beta irradiators, x-ray control systems, neutron sources, linear positioning systems, and associated data acquisition and safety interlock controls. Representative prime work includes a $4.09 million Year 5 contract with the Army Test and Evaluation Command (awarded November 2023, performing at White Sands Missile Range through April 2028) for radiation equipment sustainment; a $749,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command (awarded August 2025, three-year term through August 2028) for storage, shipment, and delivery of specialized equipment; a $644,690 Total Small Business definitive contract with Air Force Materiel Command (January 2025) for RADIAC linear positioning systems with installation and training; a $588,350 sole-source purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (June 2024) for a Model N40 Neutron Irradiator; and a $553,381 delivery from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (August 2024, performing through September 2029) for a high-energy 500 kV x-ray control system. The vendor also performs routine maintenance, calibration, and repair services—such as $238,463 preventive maintenance and calibration across multiple systems for NAVSEA (May 2023, performing through September 2027) and $318,920 equipment replacement parts procurement for the Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (October 2023, through September 2028).

Customer concentration is moderate but dominated by defense logistics and testing missions. The top five customers account for 79% of combined potential value: Naval Sea Systems Command (24 awards, $11 million), Army Test and Evaluation Command (5 awards, $5.7 million), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (21 awards, $3.4 million), Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (32 awards, $2.2 million), and Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration (9 awards, $2.2 million). The discrepancy between award count and dollar magnitude reflects Hopewell Designs' position as a specialized equipment manufacturer and repair vendor: AMCOM and NIST place numerous small-value task orders and purchase orders (averaging roughly $70,000 per award), while NAVSEA and Army Test and Evaluation anchor the largest individual contracts. Over the past five years (2022–2026), activity remained stable at 7–10 awards annually, with 145 total awards on record since 1997. Four awards (combined potential value $4.5 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete risk in Army and Navy logistics and calibration services.

Hopewell Designs holds a single-award BPA with NAVSEA (Blanket Purchase Agreement N0016725A1006, $196 thousand potential value) and participates in the Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract (one task order). The vendor operates primarily as a direct supplier rather than a subcontractor—sub-award volume is minimal (4 sub-awards, 3% of total). Recent subcontract engagement includes work under Triad National Security, LLC on Los Alamos National Laboratory competition (August and June 2025 awards for industrial fixtures and technical services), work under Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC on the Y-12 National Security Complex and PANTEX Plant operations (May 2024), and a sub-award under CACI, Inc.–Federal for Navy digital integration support (December 2023). The primary federal customers—Army, Navy, NIST, and DOE—procure from Hopewell Designs for equipment the vendor manufactures or holds proprietary design rights to (such as TS-4575/FDM irradiators, N40 neutron irradiators, and X83-series x-ray systems), securing Hopewell Designs' position as original equipment manufacturer and sole-source repair and upgrade supplier for much of its order book.

Hopwell Designs,Inc. primary line is manufacturing all types of Automated Irradiator Systems used for calibrating radiation survey meters or personal dosimetry/TLD's. We also have extensive background in lead Shielding and shipping containers.
