Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.

Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit quality assurance and testing firm headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois, operates as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) delivering compliance testing, certification auditing, and technical inspection services to federal agencies across defense and civilian sectors. The company competes full-and-open; no set-aside categories appear in the award record.

Intertek's capability portfolio centers on ISO recertification and surveillance audits, environmental and motor vehicle equipment testing, occupational safety and health management system audits, and specialized laboratory testing for electrical, thermal, and structural compliance. Recent representative work includes a $4.8 million delivery order from the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air and Radiation (awarded August 2021, ultimate completion June 2026) for compliance testing of compression-ignition engines, spark-ignition engines, vehicles, portable fuel containers, and fuel systems components, performed at Cortland, New York; a $1.66 million Naval Air Systems Command delivery order (awarded September 2021, completion September 2026) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for fleet readiness center ISO auditing at Patuxent River, Maryland; and a $1.28 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (awarded September 2024, completion September 2029) for laboratory testing to FMVSS No. 108 (lamps and reflective devices) and FMVSS No. 125 (warning devices) standards. A $227.6 thousand single-award IDC with the U.S. Coast Guard (awarded January 2024, completion January 2029) covers ISO recertification and surveillance audits to maintain AS9110, ISO 45001, and ISO 14001 certifications at Elizabeth City, North Carolina, with four delivery orders issued to date totaling approximately $95.5 thousand.

Customer concentration splits between volume and dollars. By award count, 49% of recent awards fund three agencies: the Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters (17 awards, $1.2 million), the U.S. Coast Guard (16 awards, $989 thousand), and Naval Sea Systems Command (15 awards, $211 thousand). By potential value, the top five agencies account for 85% of combined potential value, led by the EPA Office for Air and Radiation ($15.9 million across 5 awards), GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($6.8 million), Naval Air Systems Command ($3.2 million), NHTSA ($1.6 million), and CDC Pittsburgh ($1.5 million). The EPA concentration reflects the single large motor-vehicle-emissions compliance testing contract; FAA and Coast Guard represent high-volume recurring audit work.

Intertek holds 20 task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (combined potential value $17.9 million) and sits on multiple agency-specific IDIQs including an FAA indefinite delivery contract (8 task orders, $448 thousand), a Coast Guard ISO audit IDC (noted above), and several smaller technical-services IDCs with DoT, EPA, and CDC. Activity has modulated over the past five years — four awards in 2022, five in 2023, fourteen in 2024, five in 2025, and three year-to-date in 2026 — with only $1.7 million combined potential value reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure in that window.

The corporate structure includes four named subsidiaries: Architectural Testing, Inc., Materials Testing Lab Inc., Alchemy Systems L.P., and MT Group, LLC, all foreign-owned for-profit entities that likely extend Intertek's testing and inspection footprint across materials, structural, and electrical compliance domains. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans nine categories from Administrative/Secretarial at $112.47 per hour through Field Label Evaluator at $374.87 per hour, with mid-range technical and engineering roles priced between $149.94 and $273.13 per hour — no security-cleared positions. Service Contract Inventory data covering FY2023–FY2024 shows minimal SCI-reportable invoicing ($246 thousand total across two fiscal years at 0.2 FTEs per year), reflecting the company's reliance on smaller purchase orders and delivery orders below the $150 thousand reporting threshold. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts range from a 10th percentile of $201.27 per hour to a median of $309.57 per hour and a 90th percentile of $417.87 per hour, with zero subcontractor engagement on those records.

Intertek also subcontracts as a testing and materials-services provider to larger primes including HII Mission Technologies Corp (Army signal routing hardware), Lockheed Martin Services LLC (electrical testing and UL 61010-1 compliance), Textron Systems Corp (material sourcing), Guidehouse Inc. (appliance energy-efficiency testing), and Consolidated Nuclear Security LLC (Y-12 complex operations support). The sub footprint is thin (6 awards, 5% of total) and appears opportunistic rather than strategic; prime work dominates the business profile.
