Mettler-Toledo LLC

Mettler-Toledo LLC, a division of Mettler-Toledo International Inc., manufactures and services precision laboratory and industrial measurement equipment — analytical balances, scales, thermal analysis systems, and related calibration and maintenance solutions — sold to federal agencies as a prime contractor competing in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside posture across 2,043 awards totaling $151.7 million in potential value.

The company operates as a for-profit limited liability company based in Columbus, Ohio, primarily under NAICS 334514 (Measuring, Display, and Control Instruments Manufacturing) and NAICS 333611 (Scale and Balance Manufacturing). Mettler-Toledo LLC is not a small business and does not hold SBA certifications. The parent company, Mettler-Toledo International Inc., also owns Mettler-Toledo Pendotech LLC, Mettler-Toledo Rainin LLC, and Mettler-Toledo Autochem Inc.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Commissary Agency anchors the portfolio with 597 awards worth $76.7 million in combined potential value — 51% of total dollars across the entire award set. This concentration reflects the vendor's dominant position supplying meat-wrapping systems, scales, and labeling equipment to commissary operations worldwide. The Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration represents the second-largest customer at 234 awards ($5.9 million) focused on calibration, maintenance, and installation of laboratory balances for forensic analysis. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command accounts for 255 awards ($4.4 million) for scale maintenance and calibration. The top five customers cover 60% of awards and 62% of combined potential value. Civilian research agencies—the National Institute of Standards and Technology (39 awards, $3.6 million), the Food and Drug Administration (43 awards, $3.1 million), and the Department of Energy—round out the active set but represent a secondary revenue stream.

Mettler-Toledo LLC holds two named indefinite-delivery vehicles. The FDA single-award ID/IQ contract, valued at $600,000 through February 2028, covers calibration and preventative maintenance services for laboratory instruments at eleven FDA locations nationwide. The DEA single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement, valued at $700,000 through September 2026, authorizes calibration, maintenance, installation, and hazardous waste removal services for laboratory balances and forensic analysis equipment. Beyond these core IDVs, the vendor places task orders under the Federal Supply Schedule (189 task orders, $2.7 million) and agency-specific contracts including the Defense Commissary Agency's Meat Wrapping Systems and Scales contract (299 task orders, $8.3 million).

Recent activity shows growth. Awards climbed from 47 in 2022 to 121 in 2025, driven primarily by Defense Commissary Agency equipment deliveries and DEA maintenance calls. Typical awards range from $500 to $75,000, with the largest recent single contract a $11.8 million Defense Commissary Agency five-year weigh/wrap maintenance agreement awarded August 2025. Only 29 awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $1.2 million), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.

Subcontract work is minimal—seven sub-awards out of 2,043 total. The vendor subcontracts to Fluor Marine Propulsion LLC on naval nuclear propulsion program support (Mettler Toledo analytical balances and precision scales, two awards in 2026) and to Lockheed Martin Corporation on a thermal analysis systems task (September 2024). The subcontract footprint is negligible relative to the prime business.

The capability portfolio centers on equipment sales and maintenance. Representative work includes a $11.8 million Defense Commissary Agency firm fixed-price definitive contract for weigh/wrap maintenance at Columbus, Ohio (August 2025, five-year performance period); a $244 million FDA purchase order for two TGA/DSC thermal analysis systems for medical products laboratories in Irvine and Jamaica (July 2024); a $182,900 Air Force Materiel Command sole-source contract for preventative maintenance and repair of titration systems at Robins Air Force Base (November 2024, three-year period); and a $600,000 FDA single-award ID/IQ for calibration and preventative maintenance across eleven FDA lab locations (February 2023). The vendor competes without geographic concentration barriers and delivers from its Columbus headquarters for most services while maintaining field repair and calibration operations across CONUS and OCONUS military and civilian installations.

Mettler-Toledo LLC competes exclusively in unrestricted procurements. No awards carry small business set-asides, 8(a) designations, HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB qualifications. The vendor's federal footprint reflects a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) supplier and OEM service provider model, where technical expertise and sole-source status drive award rates more than set-aside competition.
