In-Situ, Inc.

In-Situ, Inc., a Fort Collins, Colorado-based manufacturer of water quality monitoring instruments and hydrological sensors, operates as a prime contractor (98% of awards) delivering specialized water monitoring equipment to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis, with no characteristic set-aside posture. The company is a subsidiary of Veralto Corporation, a for-profit entity headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, within a corporate structure that includes two additional subsidiaries: Tautheta Instruments LLC and Chemscan Inc. (the latter a self-certified small disadvantaged business).

In-Situ's federal footprint centers on water quality sondes, data loggers, sensors, pressure transducers, and associated environmental monitoring equipment. Representative prime work includes a $5.58 million single-award IDIQ with the U.S. Geological Survey (awarded December 2022, extending through December 2025) for hydrological equipment, instruments, and repair services supporting the national stream gauging network; a $31.79 million multiple-award GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (awarded December 2022, extending through December 2027) covering over 850 environmental monitoring products available to federal agencies; and a $4.9 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with GSA established in June 2026 for hydrological equipment and instruments. Concrete delivery orders under these vehicles include a $247.74 thousand USGS order for hydrologic equipment (August 2024), a $128.01 thousand Bureau of Reclamation delivery order for water quality monitoring equipment (September 2025 performance in Denver, Colorado), and a $33.03 thousand EPA Region 5 small-business-set-aside delivery order for Aqua Troll 600 equipment (September 2024).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of the Interior. The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants accounts for 215 awards (29% of the 747-award portfolio) representing $30.1 million in combined potential value—accounting for 35% of all combined potential value across the portfolio. The Bureau of Reclamation (25 awards, $1.1 million), the Army Corps of Engineers (combined 21 awards, $281 thousand), and the Agricultural Research Service (18 awards, $269 thousand) represent secondary customers. The top customer by both award count and potential value is USGS by a significant margin; the next three customers combined represent less dollars than USGS alone.

In-Situ's vehicle position is anchored to the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which carries 448 task orders worth $18.5 million combined potential value and serves as the primary vehicle for delivery orders across civilian agencies. The company also holds or has held multiple single-award IDIQs with USGS (the $5.58 million contract noted above) and legacy indefinite delivery contracts ING17PC00008 (48 task orders, $3.5 million), ING13PC00016 (35 task orders, $1.5 million), and ING08PC90070 (18 task orders, $896 thousand). These vehicles support ordering by USGS, Bureau of Reclamation, NOAA, EPA, Army Corps of Engineers, and other civilian agencies.

Activity has declined over the observation window — 21 awards in 2022, 16 in 2023, 23 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 through mid-June — reflecting either declining volume or a data-collection lag in the later years. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $86 thousand), presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure for the company but also signaling low immediate runway.

In-Situ operates as a pure equipment manufacturer and rental service provider, with no characteristic subcontracting posture as a prime; the company subcontracts to larger environmental remediation and engineering firms as a sub-supplier. In the sub role, In-Situ supplies monitoring equipment and rental services to AECOM Technical Services on Navy CLEAN VI environmental remediation contracts, to Central Plateau Cleanup Company on the Hanford Central Plateau Cleanup Contract, and to EA Engineering on Air Force remediation efforts. These sub-awards, totaling 13 across the portfolio (2% of all awards), reflect In-Situ's role providing specialized sensors and data loggers to prime contractors executing federal environmental restoration and compliance programs.

In-Situ's product portfolio maps to NAICS 334514 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables) and PSC 6650 (Combination and Miscellaneous Instruments), with secondary NAICS presence in 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and secondary PSC in 6651 (Geophysical Instruments). The company manufactures branded products including Aqua Troll water quality sondes, Level Troll water level loggers, and associated multiparameter sensors for temperature, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and related environmental parameters. Recent federal awards confirm ongoing demand for these core products across USGS, EPA, NOAA, Bureau of Reclamation, and Army Corps of Engineers for hydrological research, water resource management, coastal environmental monitoring, and stream gauging applications.

Manufacturer of extremely accurate water level and water quality monitoring instrumentation since 1976. Instruments are used extensively by Federal Government Environmental and Remediation contractors. Rental and repair services available.
