Instrumented Sensor Technology Inc.

Instrumented Sensor Technology Inc., doing business as I.s.t., manufactures and calibrates electronic data recorders and shock-measurement instruments for the Department of the Army as a prime contractor, competing in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements and operating from Okemos, Michigan. The company is a for-profit manufacturer whose federal footprint is entirely prime work — zero subcontract activity — concentrated in specialized calibration and maintenance services across 94 awards with $3.7 million combined potential value.

I.s.t.'s customer base is heavily dominated by Army test and evaluation. The Department of the Army Test and Evaluation Command accounts for 45 awards and $2.7 million of the combined potential value (73% of the portfolio), with the Department of the Army broadly contributing 24 additional awards worth $869 thousand. These two Army entities represent 87% of award count coverage. Secondary customers include the Department of the Navy (9 awards), NASA Ames Research Center (2 awards, $75 thousand), United States Special Operations Command (2 awards, $18 thousand), and the Army Corps of Engineers (1 award, $18 thousand). The concentration is extreme: the Army Test and Evaluation Command alone anchors the vast majority of both volume and dollars.

I.s.t. operates under three primary indefinite-delivery contracts with the Army Test and Evaluation Command. The largest is IDC W9115122D0006 (ceiling $750,345, running through April 2027), which generates calibration delivery orders for electronic data recorder models EDR-3DM1, EDR-3CM4, EDR-5D-200-18, and SSP-P1R1 systems, with individual task orders ranging from $23,520 to $46,583 and traceable to NIST standards. The vendor also holds IDC W9115117D0002 (17 task orders, $341 thousand combined potential value) and IDC W9115112D0014 (3 task orders, $324 thousand combined potential value). Recent representative work includes a $40,490 delivery order awarded April 12, 2026 for EDR-3DM1 and related electronics calibration (completion July 2026), a $46,583 order from April 2025 for calibration services (completion April 2026), and a $31,580 order from May 2024 for EDR-3DM1 calibration (completed August 2024). A single $92,703 purchase order for modular electronic shock data recorders (set aside as Total Small Business) was awarded in August 2021.

I.s.t.'s capability classification sits primarily under NAICS 333514 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing — 68 awards) and secondarily under NAICS 811212 (Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance — 4 awards). PSC coding reflects the equipment focus: 22 awards under Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Instruments and Laboratory Equipment, 17 under Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments, and 7 under Inspection Gages and Precision Layout Tools. Activity has been sparse in recent years — one award in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — following higher volume in 2022 (four awards). The company does not subcontract and does not hold a position on government-wide acquisition contracts or multi-agency vehicles; all work flows through Army Test and Evaluation Command IDICs with place of performance at the Okemos facility.
