Leybold USA Inc.

Leybold USA Inc., a for-profit manufacturer and repair specialist in vacuum technology, operates as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) supplying vacuum pumps, turbomolecular equipment, leak detectors, and vacuum system maintenance to federal research, aerospace, and defense agencies. The company competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its entire prime footprint, and maintains a small subcontractor presence (3% of awards) on defense and aerospace primes.

Leybold is headquartered in Export, Pennsylvania, and has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2001. The company's capability portfolio centers on precision vacuum equipment manufacturing and field repair. Representative recent prime work includes a $590,800 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Office of Naval Research (September 2024) for a xenon thruster and components to support the Spacecraft Engineering Division; a $36,913 sole-source turbo pump delivery to NASA's Kennedy Space Center through the NASA Shared Services Center (March 2024); and a $26,263.70 vacuum pump purchase order from the Shared Services Center (March 2026). Leybold also provides repair services—exemplified by a $15,780.99 rotary vane vacuum pump repair for the Shared Services Center (August 2025) and a $5,094 scroll pump restoration for the Office of Naval Research (November 2025).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward research and scientific agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 33% of awards and include the Office of Naval Research (21 awards, $926 thousand combined potential value), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (16 awards, $161 thousand), NASA Glenn Research Center (14 awards, $134 thousand), NASA Shared Services Center (13 awards, $370 thousand), and the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (11 awards, $72 thousand). By potential value, the Office of Naval Research dominates at $926 thousand, followed by NASA Shared Services Center at $370 thousand, but the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory anchors the third-largest share at $340 thousand despite only three awards. Leybold holds positions on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (GS00F01842) with six task orders and carries sub-allocations on Army BPAs and IDCs.

Activity has been sparse and volatile over the past five years—seven awards in 2022, declining to two in 2023, then six in 2024, five in 2025, and two year-to-date in 2026—though the source records 226 total awards spanning back to 1981. The combined potential value across all awards is $3.2 million, but obligated dollars total $6.9 million, indicating mature completion and draw-down of existing contracts. Leybold subcontracts to defense and aerospace primes including Fluor Marine Propulsion on Naval Nuclear Laboratory management and operations (March 2026), KBR Wyle Services on Navy goods and services (January 2024, with $941,814.96 in incremental funding), Raytheon on Romania production UCA pumps (September 2025), and The Aerospace Corporation on FY19 engineering services involving Dryvac pump systems (August 2023). The top PSC coding aligns tightly with Leybold's offering: 85 awards code to Compressors and Vacuum Pumps, 35 to Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, and the remainder to maintenance, repair, and rebuild of pumping and instrumentation equipment.
