Mahr Inc.

Mahr Inc., a large foreign-owned manufacturer based in Providence, Rhode Island, supplies precision dimensional metrology equipment and calibration services to the federal government as a prime contractor across 422 awards spanning multiple Department of Defense agencies. The company competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside footprint; one award was set aside for Total Small Business, but Mahr Inc. is characterized in the source material as a large enterprise and does not pursue small business certifications.

Mahr Inc.'s capability portfolio centers on precision measurement instruments: gage block comparators, air comparator gages, dial indicator calibrators, electronic height gages, roundness testers, circular geometry machines, and associated repair, recalibration, and software upgrade services. Representative recent work includes a $93,859 purchase order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (September 2026) for a MarEcon controller upgrade to 828CiM PPC measuring machines with Dell Optiplex computer system and Windows 11 software, a $97,210 purchase order from Army TACOM for Length Measuring Machine services supporting the Joint Metrology and Calibration Center at Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois (April 2026), and a $215,782 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency for 14 air comparator gages (March 2026). The company also performs on-site installation, training, and maintenance; a $28,000 award from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2023) covered installation and training for measuring machines at the Standard Calibration Center in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, and repair work spans one-time fixes to software upgrades on MAHR machines and gage equipment across Air Force and Army depots.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Department of Defense agencies. The top five funding organizations account for roughly 72% of combined potential value: Air Force Materiel Command ($5.4 million across 9 awards and $3.3 million across 17 awards at the Lifecycle Management Center and Wright Patterson Air Force Base), Naval Sea Systems Command ($2.2 million across 24 awards), Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command ($1.6 million across 27 awards), and Army TACOM ($1.2 million across 14 awards). By award count, Air Force leads with 61 awards, followed by Navy with 54 awards and Navy Air Warfare Centers with 31 awards. The source identifies only one IDV vehicle with multiple task orders: Indefinite Delivery Contract FY233306D0003 carries 10 task orders valued at $1.6 million. Mahr Inc. holds or has held additional IDV arrangements with Naval Sea Systems Command for dial indicator calibrators (referenced in multiple award summaries as up to $1.67 million through March 2023) and with Air Force and Army commands, though most recent activity shows purchase orders rather than IDV task orders.

Award activity has contracted sharply: nine awards in 2022, declining to three in both 2024 and 2026 (as of September). Only one award—the NIST MarEcon controller upgrade—is scheduled to complete within the next twenty-four months, with $94 thousand in combined potential value, reflecting minimal recompete exposure in that window. The source dates Mahr Inc.'s SAM.gov registration to 2001, establishing a twenty-five-year federal contracting history. The company manufactures equipment domestically from its Providence facility and internationally (source references performance in Germany and Saudi Arabia); several awards specify performance at military depots and standards laboratories (Rock Island Arsenal, Tinker Air Force Base, Naval Air Warfare Centers) alongside shipments to customer locations. Mahr Inc. has no documented subcontractor relationships in the source material and operates exclusively as a prime contractor.
