Met One Instruments, Inc.

Met One Instruments, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of meteorological and air quality monitoring equipment based in Grants Pass, Oregon, sells smoke monitors, particulate matter detectors, weather stations, calibration services, and replacement parts to federal agencies almost exclusively as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) across no set-aside categories.

Met One operates a diversified portfolio of 324 federal prime awards spanning 69 customer agencies, with the largest concentration in environmental monitoring for wildfire management and air quality research. The company manufactures purpose-built instruments under primary NAICS codes 541512 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and related analytical equipment manufacturing, with PSC coding emphasizing meteorological instruments and laboratory equipment. Recent representative work includes a $253.9 million delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center for E-BAM equipment and parts supporting wildland fire suppression, a $110.7 million purchase order from USDA Forest Service Region 5 for six E-BAM-WF mobile particulate matter monitors deployable to high-elevation locations, a $103.3 million purchase order from EPA Region 2 for three BAM 1022 Beta Attenuation Mass Monitors and three C-12 Portable Carbon Monitors, and a $98.4 million sole-source purchase order from NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory for replacement bearings, radiation shields, and cable assemblies supporting meteorological and air quality monitoring networks. A $5.9 million delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center in May 2026 for E-SAMPLER NPM calibration demonstrates recent activity.

Customer concentration is moderate and segmented by program type. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 29% of all awards: the EPA (31 awards, $208 thousand combined potential value), the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (21 awards, $2.1 million), NOAA (19 awards, $357 thousand), the Department of State Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (14 awards, $197 thousand), and USDA Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management at the National Interagency Fire Center (9 awards, $2.5 million). The dollar rankings diverge significantly — the same five agencies account for 55% of combined potential value by reordering: the National Interagency Fire Center leads at $2.5 million on just 9 awards, followed by Army at $2.1 million, USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region at $1.2 million, EPA's Office for Air and Radiation at $864 thousand, and USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region at $391 thousand. This concentration reflects Met One's dominant position supplying specialized equipment to wildfire operations and environmental research missions rather than broad procurement volume.

Met One holds positions on five parent vehicles generating ongoing task-order activity. The largest vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract SPRBL117D0024 carrying 20 task orders worth $613 thousand combined potential value; contract 1202SC23T2700 carries 4 delivery orders for $514 thousand; contract 1202SC25T2701 carries 1 task order for $6 thousand; the Federal Supply Schedule GS25F6046D carries 5 task orders for $70 thousand; and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG82X9B170029 carries 3 task orders for $159 thousand. The most recent IDIQ vehicle, awarded September 14, 2025, is a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the National Interagency Fire Center valued at $750 thousand through September 13, 2028, for new unit purchases, support, calibration, service, repair, and OEM parts for Met One smoke monitors and associated equipment.

Award velocity has declined markedly in recent years — 14 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 11 in 2024, then 2 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 — reflecting a shift from frequent small purchase orders to larger IDIQ vehicles and delivery orders. Combined potential value across all 324 awards totals $13 million, with $12.1 million (93%) obligated. Only 1 award has an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months ($6 thousand), eliminating near-term recompete exposure.

Met One is one of three named subsidiaries within a corporate structure that includes Atmospheric Systems Corporation and Climatronics Corp., both for-profit manufacturers. The parent company generates minimal subcontract volume (1% of awards), with four recorded sub-awards to the Department of Energy's Waste Isolation Pilot Plant program for calibration sensors and sensor temperature work under the WIPP and National Transuranic Waste Program contract.
