KLA Corporation

KLA Corporation, headquartered in Milpitas, California, is a global leader in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and advanced metrology systems that has been registered in the System for Award Management since March 2002. The company serves as a prime federal contractor providing specialized scientific instruments, precision measurement and control systems, and technical support services to multiple U.S. federal agencies. KLA Corporation operates as a for-profit manufacturer and maintains a substantial portfolio of federal contracts spanning defense, civilian research, and operational requirements across agencies including NASA, the Department of Defense, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

KLA Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Microsense LLC and Filmetrics Inc., have delivered a comprehensive range of specialized equipment and services through federal prime and subcontracts awarded between 2021 and 2025. Equipment procurements include advanced metrology systems such as nano-indenters, stylus profilometers, vibrating sample magnetometers, and deep reactive ion etching systems, with contract values ranging from approximately $425 to $2.3 million. The company has provided maintenance, calibration, repair, and upgrade services for its proprietary instruments at federal research facilities, including on-site technical support with 24-hour response times at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and training services at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Funding agencies awarding prime contracts to KLA include the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Office of Naval Research (ONR), Naval Strategic Systems Programs (NSSP), NASA, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex. Notable major contracts include a $2.285 million definitive contract from DMEA for a silicon carbide trench etch tool, a $1.713 million purchase order from NIST for a deep reactive ion etching system with four-year service agreement, and a $1.159 million purchase order from NIST for deep reactive ion etching fabrication systems. Subsidiary Filmetrics Inc. received a $67.7 million award from NASA for a UV-Visible-NIR Microscope, while Microsense LLC received contracts from the Office of Naval Research for vibrating sample magnetometer upgrades and training services. Subcontract awards identify KLA as a supplier to major prime contractors including Honeywell International Inc., Peraton Inc., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Fluor Marine Propulsion LLC, and General Dynamics Mission Systems Inc., with work involving equipment components such as XACTIX systems, vacuum systems, and software maintenance agreements. No small business set-asides were designated for the majority of contracts, though one Office of Naval Research contract awarded to Microsense LLC in 2021 utilized a Total Small Business set-aside designation valued at $123,040.

KLA Corporation holds one active Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded on August 14, 2025, by the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex with a ceiling value of $86,213.40 and ultimate completion date of August 13, 2030. This single-award IDC procures electrode sets specifically designed for the QL-10EZ cyclic voltammetry stripper, which are specialized consumable components used in electrochemical analysis and materials testing operations supporting Department of Defense research and operational capabilities. The contract carries no set-aside designation and operates under a five-year performance period structure whereby task orders will be issued against the ceiling value as electrode replacement requirements materialize, enabling the government to maintain a committed supplier relationship with KLA for ongoing consumable replenishment while supporting the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex's materials characterization and testing operations.
